I met Elyse Major in 2008 through blogging. I instantly fell in love with her style on her beautiful blog called Tinkered Treasures.
You know her because in almost every magazine I pick up lately, Elyse has contributed to the magazine with her gifted writing and crafting.
When we walked in the door of Blithewold, Elyse greeted us, and gave me a gift that she made for me. One of her dolls and she showed me how she even got my hair to look just like mine. Isn't she adorable? I will surely treasure her forever! Thank you Elyse.
Once we walked into the room we were totally smitten. There was a buffet table set up with the prettiest craft supplies.
A tower of scrumptious cupcakes decorated with beautiful designs made the perfect accessory and treat while crafting.
Champagne was served and after a short demonstration we were all busy crafting and enjoying being in such a magnificent tea room with lovely kindred spirits.
Recently I have been trying to keep my mind from being anxious. Anticipation is always such a waste of time, when we really have little control of what will happen in our future.
To distract myself I have been designing kitchen towels. My new obsession. Everywhere I go, I see the most interesting kitchen towels.
Anticipation...nobody sings it better than Carly. Carly Simon is writing her memoir. She just celebrated her 68th birthday and you can find more about her latest news on her web site.
So, I decided to design four kitchen towels on one yard of Linen Cotton Canvas fabric. Dishtowels by the yard. A cut and sew design. I made some of them up, to show you what they look like.
