yesterday

i took the 7am ferry to the mainland yesterday, and drove down to Portland to meet up with Barbara at chelliswilson. we had a great constructive, creative, collaborative talk
about clothing for her shop for fall/winter (and future events!). some good pieces that everyone needs. skirts in many fabrics. she has ordered some incredible indigo wool, and a soft ivory silk/wool twill. i can't wait to make a slip dress out of the silk/wool. this will all compliment what she has from FOG linen work, and Pip-Squeak Chapeau (etc.), very nicely. maybe soon we'll have another evening at her shop with music, and prosecco. stay tuned.

that picture above is the empty ferry cabin. i love the colors. grey, cream, brown, crazy green, and brick red. if you start seeing these colors in some new clothes, you know i've been inspired by the ferry!

can you see these?

here are some images. frances drawing on a foggy day, the house that d. is painting, cousins/friends swimming out to the big rock, frances having breakfast on the first day of school. i'm trying to figure out how to post photos on this computer, i can't seem to rotate the images which is why i chose these! all is well here. sewing, sewing, sewing.

hello, again

that's an image of the little door going into the new sewing studio here on the island. i hope to be sewing later in the week!
we're settling in, and will soon move into the rental house. can't wait to paint the walls!
it's been so long since i've posted, i don't know what to say.... how are all of you???
