What a fun, flirty (and easy to make) skirt!
March 04, 2011
Greetings from Darwin, Australia!
We just moved to Darwin (better known as the setting for the movie Australia) this past Sunday. It’s located in the Northern Territory on the coast and reminds me a lot of Florida. It’s VERY hot and humid year around, imagine 12 months of Carolina summer, phew!
I’ve been living in skirts to stay cool, and recently made a new one that is so easy and super cute! It is so quick to make and you don’t waste one bit of fabric.

“Tangled” was not just a hit in movie theatres this holiday season…
January 04, 2011
Disney’s computer animated re-imagining of the classic story of the long-locked Rapunzel, was released this holiday season with much box office success. The golden-haired heroine can now be found everywhere on “Tangled” merchandise in retailers across the country. The primary audience for Disney’s newest princess is girls aged 2 to 8, but you may find Rapunzel hiding out in the fabric “stashes” of adult female crafters as well.
