summer has actually come to Portland-right on time, with it being the first week of summer. Sadie needed some skirts, so she got some. I sewed these up super fast (I love you , serger!) out of fabric that I was saving for skirts for me. . .
so, you may see mama and Sadie matching skirts here real soon, but I can't promise anything. Maybe baby Delia will get a matching hat too? or something else-must think .
on another crafting note-this book put out by rowan about 2 years ago is really swell. It features home interiors craft projects using Kaffe's line of fabric (remember him? before Amy Butler?) and I saw it here,at the link above, for $3.98!!! well-I paid a bit more for it than that, and it was worth every penny. Nothing earth shattering, just nice projects using nice fabric-very worth $3.98 (this place has a TON of cheap books-and a good kids selection too)
also, Daniel Clowes, my favorite comic artist of all time, (Chris Ware is #2) was interviewed on Fresh Air today. He has a new book out that I need to get pronto and the interview was good, but I wish it had been longer.
And, lastly, I have added a bunch of new posts to Tie One On, including a vintage apron sewing pattern photo gallery. I am very excited about this, so please take a peek. The "Home on the Range" apron submissions are due by the last day of June (next Thursday) I will post the new theme on Friday and hopefully get the apron gallery up by the following week (although we are expecting a new niece or nephew next Friday, very excited!!!-so there may be a slight delay)
