scrap paper book in blue and slate with a bright blue stitched tree on its front.
The tree is a little hard to see since the coloring is similar to the book cloth, but in person the tree shows and is lovely :)

the clash

I am a girl who likes to clash (in clothes, in home decorating, the list goes on and on). Sometimes it works out and looks adorable, and sometimes not so much. But I like to go ahead with it anyway.

The clash is a new series of books made while thinking about how surprising and fantastic it is when an interesting and unusual combination works. When you find that two seemingly clashing things are somehow actually complementary. When they go together to create something interesting and beautiful that you had never seen before.

Medium address book in teal corduroy, a green and white natural print and an orange and creme filigree pattern.

Large daily agenda in an orange and creme filigree, teal corduroy, and green and white natural print.

These two books would make a great set, or are lovely on their own.

Hope you birds had a fantastic weekend!

project: a big canvas bag and plan Z

I wanted a big canvas beach type bag

that was big enough to fit my laptop in.

So I made one.

Also,

luckily very soon after my freak out

yesterday night I came across

THIS.

Sarah's thoughts and confidence

were just what I needed.

I am

working on

my plan Z

as we speak.

My Mother's sewing machine.

The same machine that I made pillows and stuffed animals on

as a very small girl.

I have missed you, you well oiled machine you...
