May day is lei day! I’m sort of in love with fragrant flowers made into lavish garlands to wear around my neck. They are the first thing I’ll gift you when you come to visit me in Hawaii (and you should), and I sort of insist on Mother’s Day that Garth and the kiddos pick [...]

The kiddos back in the day as Sally & Moishe. The kiddos as Sally & Moishe in modern times (can you believe how much Ginger has changed in one year!?) Costume season is in full swing for me which means that I am stitching Sally and Moishe in the car everywhere we go, in my [...]

Hello there friends. I heard that it was National Hot Cocoa Day (did ya’ll know that there’s a food holiday everyday? I didn’t. but now I’m thinking that a year long celebration is in order!) and by some chance Garth and I were working on our mexican hot cocoa recipe last night (it was a [...]

Happy December! Golly, I look forward to this time all year.

Have I mentioned yet that I’ll be at the Port City Market in November and December? I will. We’re on the corner of Palafox and Main Saturday mornings from 9am-1pm. I’m starting a clearance bin to try to lighten some of my inventory before my move to Hawaii. The market will be operating (and I’ll [...]

I know that Halloween is long gone and it’s time for Christmas-ie things, but the accident really screwed up my to-do’s and I am just now getting around to finally doing a proper costume post. So, without further excuses, I present to you the fabulous gnome family costumes. We chose these costumes because we thought [...]

4 costumes to make and just about 24 hours remaining. This is my little pile of completed pieces. I wanted to photograph the pile of things that I still need to complete, but they are spread out all over my making room- one is on my lap at this very moment. Can you tell what [...]

I’ll see you there. And, I’ll bring the bow ties this week. woo-hoo! elle
