The plant friends growing at the front of the fieldhouse were getting rather thick and overgrown, so I gave them a pruning, discovering that one, the Pacific Ninebark, has handsome limbs that suggest a piece of furniture to me. So I've saved them to skin off the light crackly bark and play with the shapes at a future date. Front of house is looking a lot better now, and less attractive to late night poopers.

In other news, playing around with these stamps free from nephew Desmond's strongstart.

 After five sessions of patterning, cutting, serging and sewing, Laura van der Linde completed her Fab-O fishy coveralls - and wore them out to the Artisan Yard Sale in July. This was a great experience as I wanted to help someone through the process of making coveralls and it gave me a chance to do it. I'm looking forward to making more coveralls with more folks - so hit me up if you're interested!
