Over the weekend I sat down at my sewing machine to create a garland/ bunting/ banner for my guest room. My friend T arrives on Thursday for a visit and we will celebrate her birthday on Saturday so I thought a bunting would be a fun touch. A Bunting We Will Go. A Bunting We Will Go While making T’s bunting my thoughts turned to the Fashionista’s upcoming birthday. The theme of the party is “The Almost Famous Seventies Soiree”. Think vintage, denim and daisies coupled with fondue pots. Ah but ... View the Post

Don’t grab the hot end!
Last Friday the weather was glorious here in Phoenix. (For those of you shoveling snow just remember for five months out of the year it is hot enough to singe your eyeballs.) I had reserved a spot in Terri Brush’s beginning soldering class. It was held in a lovely home in Phoenix that even had a pond full of koi. Don’t grab the hot end! Don’t grab the hot end! Roses and vincas were all abloom. The event was hosted by Melrose Vintage and they had set up a few of their delightful wares ... View the Post
