1. New items in my shop!

There are lots of new things in my shop now...
I just needed to get started with updating it again. I had some new wristlets ready, particularly two in one of my favourite barkcloth prints, a painting by Grandma Moses. The bits I've picked are snowy woods, one of them with a little cottage:
 I had a navy blue floral sweethaven bag ready as well:
The blue needlebook is the last one of that batch and I'll make some new ones soon in a different set of colours:
And a special bonus just for my blog readers - buy any wristlet, bag or needle book from my shop and mention this blog in the comments and I will send a free bonus, one of my little deer print pincushions!
NOTE * Each pincushion is a little different, offer good for September 2010, while quantities last. *
 Thanks for looking!

2. Barkcloth messengers

I have two new barkcloth messenger bags in my new shop now. I think these are the last I'll be making in this style. I kept a smaller one for myself... I wish I had more of that print!
It's a charming country scene with houses, a church, a mill, a farmer's field, a forest and an orchard. Quite a lot for one print, but the simple style and limited colour scheme really ties it all together!

This is the second bag made with a tropical barkcloth.
This is the last I have of that print as well... I often find fairly small pieces of barkcloth but luckily just a little goes a long way.
Can you imagine, most of these pieces of barkcloth used to be curtains!

Coming up soon, I've cut out lots of fabric for some Sweethaven bags, and finished sewing up the first one. It's a combination of red and pink fabric with a white doily applique.

3. SMOKE AND ASH

Good Morning:

I think it's a sunny day today, but there's so much smoke here, it appears to be dreary and dark. My house has a stench of burning leaves and stale firestorm smoke. My home is not in harms way, but the fire is only about 5 miles from us, as the crow flies. Yesterday, it literally snowed ash all day long. We captured this photo of a perfectly preserved leaf made entirely of ash~~



This little leaf managed to blow in the wind, and land on the bumper of our car without breaking apart.

The billowing smoke, with it's orangey glare is otherwordly and bruised. I've lived in Southern California all of my life, and I've experienced forest fires many many times, but never, ever like this. Everything in my house is covered with ash and soot, including my studio. We won't even think about cleaning until the Santiago fire is contained.

I am so thankful that we are not in harm's way, and I am ever so saddened by the losses that so many folks have endured.

I'm off to attend to my daily chores and to work on my daughter's Halloween costume.

Until next time:
