I just realized that I never wrote about this quilt. I took this picture and posted it on flickr when I finished the top, but it never made it here: Ree was never really planned. It just sort of happened one day when I was trying (unsuccessfully) to sort my thrifted sheet stash. These particular [...]

new napkins

When I bought some of the vintage sheets, specifically those with delicate flowers, I thought they would make really nice napkins. But they were too thin, too flimsy to stay on their own. Then I remembered seeing this tutorial from Purl Soho. And I thought – linen. I love linen. Love the look of it, [...]

and now for something completely different: field work pillow

Just a sneak peek of what I have sitting on my sewing desk since before Thanksgiving. A new pillow inspired by some aerial photography and fabulous work by Victoria Gertenbach. I have not had a chance to get into my sewing room for almost two weeks. This is almost finished – two more patches, already [...]

June Gloom is now officially July Gloom. The light is really crappy, so pictures are so-so, but here they are: The pillow is finished. It measures about 14×14 in, and of course, all my pillow inserts are either smaller or way bigger. So only a “flat” picture. The linen I used is not really great [...]

  • It's been probably 10 years since I bought my first orchid. It shriveled and died after blooming. Since then I bough/ was gifted many more. All died. Until this one. I actually do not remember when it bloomed last. But it's been months. I almost forgot about it, and honestly I did not take care of if much. I noticed a few times that it did not dry out yet... The other day I noticed a few buds. And, voila, today we have the first flower. Isn't it beautiful. My second favorite flower. What is my favorite flower?
