take care of a piece of the earth

this smock expresses a feeling very close to my heart. it speaks for itself, i think. i was in such a state of peace and happiness working on this one...i think i will be sticking to the simpler embroidery and personal sentiments for the next little bit. so rewarding! i'd love your feedback on this...i'm slowly growing as i go. with 60 more to make for the show before september 7th, i've got my work cut out for me {well not all of it is cut out yet!}, but i'm equal to the task in enthusiasm alone, to be sure!!!

this one is available in sizes 2-7, in the shop.
cheers, all!

soar : : we are all connected

two more smocks for the shop. both of these are size 7. more to come later this afternoon, or in the a.m. only size sevens so far, i know. but more sizes to come in the next batch. i will have sizes 2-14 at the festival and will post them as i go...

hope all is well with everyone in craftwonderland...i'd love to write more but must return to the studio...i have a barn to embroider!

**we are all connected is sold...{thank you stephanie!}

we are all connected

friday has come and gone and still no smocks as promised! not for lack of productivity...i've been working away, despite the heat {90+ with no a.c. in the studio and can no longer bring sewing machine, etc. out into cooler rooms due to sweet little ollie, the investigator}.

spent some time figuring out how to make a great reversible smock, with much success! i am very excited about this! i have several new smocks going up in the shop sometime this week {i promise!} and will post about them here. the one above is in progress and is titled we are all connected. the photo is of my grandmother as a child, picking flowers on her way to california. i love the little pocket for two hands...i've snuck a surprise bit of soft color on it's interior lining.

i'd love to hear from you if you're interested in a smock for your wee tree...to be sure to include one in the correct size! lots of orders have been coming in which is terribly exciting! in other news my application for our local clothesline festival has been approved, which is thrilling! my first craft festival! i've been sketching out all sorts of ideas for displaying the smocks, so much fun!!!

i can't leave without mentioning that i'm in love with the new port2port press cards! so beautiful maria!
happy day, craftwonderland friends!
