The hello world handmade pillow
[caption id="attachment_1070" align="alignleft" width="288" caption="M and J goes for a bike ride"][/caption] A few weeks ago I was walking to my mail box - yes, I still get snail mail- and saw my two young neighbors (Lets call them M and J) enjoying a lovely Florida day on their bike.

One of my favorite creations was a poinsettia dish towel that I made for myself and...

The Reggae Argyle Collection My friend is moving into her new condo the beginning of next month. Like most rental homes, the walls are painted 'rental beige' and the landlord is insisting on keeping the 'neutral' color. Note to landlord - beige is not a color, its a shade - at least in my opinion. She decided that she would inject some color into her rental decor by adding fabric to the walls, adding some colorful throw rugs, put up some window curtains and add some vibrant throw pillows.
