At the Market

I’m ashamed that I don’t have my own photos of Savannah’s famed Paris Market & Brocanteon Broughton Street, but I’ll try to remedy that later this week.  You can skip over to their website for a preview, however, those in the area or plan to visit will find that walking into this shop leaves one [...]

Crafts to Love

A few years ago, I ran across an amazing jewelry artist on eBay, Fyrestorm Creations.  When she says that her works are “one of a kind creations,” she’s not exaggerating.  Mr. Yarn Bearer must have seen me coveting these amazing accessories and bought two bracelets for my birthday, this one…

And this one…

They really are quality [...]

Mr. Yarn Bearer surprised me yesterday with a copy of the Alabama Stitch Book.  I had always been taught to finish my sewing with neat and clean edges; thankfully, Natalie Chanin seems to have a “F&#% that” attitude toward those.  Sewing goes a lot faster when you don’t have to clean up your messes.  I’m [...]

Not Forgotten

I realized, this morning, that I had declared a weekly highlight just last week.  I’m excited to show you Louise Black!
This Etsy shop has been getting so wildly popular that the items disappear almost as soon as they are posted.  I’ve always been a fan of the Victorian and Edwardian fashion eras, especially those with [...]

Blur

My days are still fuzzy, but the comfort of being back in my own home is such a relief.  Hmmm, Mr. Yarn Bearer had been in charge of the camera the entire trip and I had expected quite a picture show…  However, this is not the case.  I won’t complain, Mr. Yarn Bearer seemed quite [...]

I actually have much to [...]

Post-Op

Good evening to all and I hope that you’re feeling as good as I am right now (sans Valium, however).  The surgery went well and I’m walking around and not in too much pain (comparable to pulling a muscle or shin splints, which seem worse, actually).
In case you’re curious, I chose to have my breast [...]
