Pins & Needles Class

Last week I taught a embroidery class at Pins & Needles where we made Zodiac Constellation Kits together.  It's always a bit nerve wracking to teach, but what I love most about it is making/crafting in a group setting, like an old school quilting bee, meeting new people and the silly joy I feel when someone really enjoys what they are learning.

Speaking of meeting people- One highlight for me was having Carrie Strine in the class! I love her quilts and work in general. It's so strange and wonderful to meet internet friends- hear their voice and experience their personalities- she is a funny one!

Thanks to all who came out for the class and stay tuned if you'd like to take an embroidery class. I'll be teaching again at P&N June 25th and dates at Purl Soho soon too (!)....

lately + this week

 
Loved crafting with Virginia for our Renegade Brooklyn Booth! Lots more pics, but will share sneak peeks as it gets closer.  We both are really into decorating the booth and making a super fun environment- can't wait to see it all up!



Making little letters in the studio lately....


Jeremy working on a lazy Sunday.  We love sitting at our little table, looking out the window at all the people and street cats roaming about and sipping tea...

Painting pottery at Lorrie or Lenny Mud's studio. She gave a great talk on SEO & Etsy for the NewNew Etsy Team.

Happy to spend some time with Virginia's cat, Buggles, who is the goofiest thing ever! Those buggy eyes, crumpled ears, and silly cat tongue!!

This week....
