What I've Been Up To...


I'm busy working on new patterns to be 
released when my newest fabric line...
 becomes available...


Which is in about 4 weeks time....
I'm so looking forward to it!



Millie's Closet comes in 3 color ways...
 and this week I am working on the
 Blue/Green combo.


For this color way I chose to pair up my favorite apple green with my 2 favorite blues...aqua and cobalt.


I have used my all time favorite shade of gray in all 3 color ways.
 These are the 3 solids in the line that go with the blue/green combo.


I wish I could show you what I am creating 
with these lovely colors...and the time will soon come when I can!



In between drawing and sewing I have been reading Jennifer Chiaverini's 
latest book which is hot off the press...


So far I have had to force myself to put it down because it's so good!!!
I love every one of Jennifer's books as you well know because I have told you about them often and this one has proven to be no different.

Soooo....that's what I've been up to the last few days.
How about you?
Whatever you've been doing...
I certainly hope it involves a
 book and/or fabric....
one of the best combinations that I know:)

  19. Love the blues and greens. Can't wait to see what you have been creating. I, too, love all of Jennifer's books and even though I have a Kindle now, I always buy hers in hardback. That is the way I started with her many years ago with the first Elm Creek book. Have not gotten the new one yet....soon!

  25. Millie's Closet reminds me so much of the blouses my Nanny use to wear. :o) I am looking forward to when they arrive on the market. :o) You have the sweetest designs and I can't wait to see what you created with your newest line. :o)
    My creativity has been crochet. :o) I am finishing the border on my granny stripe blanket. It keeps me close to Woody when he needs me. :o)
