I am busy making lots of goods in preparation for the Holidays. I have Holiday Heap coming up on December 4th along with the MICA Art Market and the Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco. I spent all day cutting and sewing stockings yesterday. They are full of pattern this year! I am also making lots of new Gods-Eye mobiles, dolls, and ornaments. So exciting...although I would really love to make some drawings. I think I will set some time to work on drawings again once the hustle and bustle of the holidays is over. The quiet of January is always so exciting for me.I will post some pictures of my work in progress soon.
The Betty Coat is 50% off! It's marked down from $215 to $107.50 from November 8th - November 10th. Check it out!
Erika made Agnes' very first Halloween costume. She is such a beautiful Raggedy Ann!
Matthew and I had such a wonderful time in Turkey, we didn't want to leave! Istanbul was fantastically vibrant and Cappadochia was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I loved the tile work in Topkopi Palace and the dress styles of some of the elder Turkish men and women were simple yet rich in pattern...I loved them! We went in a hot air balloon and explored Goreme with our new French friends, Sophie and Florian. Above is a photograph of the spice bazarre. I will post more pictures soon...as there are many to sort through.

Here are two new double-sided embroidered dolls I just finished. Please excuse these poor photographs, I took them myself. I will have some better photographs soon!
Here is a picture of Rowley & Michelle's home, the very sweet couple we stayed with in Chicago. Their home was very simple and it seemed as though everything in their space was chosen with care.
