We're leaving in a few days for a much needed week in the sun. I've been trying to scratch things off my "to-do" list so I have a clean slate to come home to. Yesterday I finished my sister's cute wallet...we spent a good amount of time talking to each other on the phone, both of us scouring the internet together looking for the perfect fabric for her. I'm really happy with her choices and I know she will be, too. The fabric is from the Wild Thyme collection by Carolyn Gavin. It's so fresh and spring-like and I just adore the illustrations.
And now it's "thyme" to put away the bins of fabric and tidy up the shop so I can be at peace as we're backing down the driveway, our minds focused on the warm sand and sun, the smells of the ocean and the anticipation of a relaxing week away from it all.
Just a quick note to show you what I've been working on this week. My sister, Meredith, called to say several of her friends fell in love with the wallet I made her for christmas, so they placed orders for their own. So Nice! They chose nice bright spring colors and I think they all turned out great! It was also a great chance for me to work some more on my photography...I still suck at it but each time I get behind the camera I learn a little more. Right now my new light box is providing me with new challenges but I am going to learn how to use it even if it kills me.
