Inspired by Joni
School has been out for the last two weeks, but I wanted to share something that my son did with his second grade class the last week of school.

Arrival
I decided to join the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (scbwi) illustrator’s drawing challenge called “Draw This!” which offers a new topic each month.

Skirting the Issue
So last week my husband and I had a lunch date at the mall because we needed to stop by Nordstrom for him to get some new work socks.

Without my realizing it until it was too late, my long black maxi skirt got … [Read more...] about Skirting the Issue

Both of these pieces have vintage fabric from my late Grandmother-in-law, Tutu. She was a special … [Read more...] about Tutu’s Fabric
