Yes, we've had some silence for a bit. I've been VERY BUSY.
I'm in a great mood right now. A truly fantastic mood. After battling flu-like symptoms and fatigue for who knows how long now (I honestly lost track of how long I've been sick, just caught up in the daily scramble of life), but today (11/17 when I started writing this) I woke up feeling like a million bucks in every single way.
The day before yesterday, these things were said to me:
Remember the "Waist Case", profiled here and pictured above? It is now, officially, the cool alternative to the fanny pack of the 80's for our family. It has become a daily necessity in my daughter's life, outperforming all purchased solutions, keeping her daily essentials accessible. So glad we devised this, and that it works.
Remember when I told you I fell in love with the double faced wool fabric (above, right)? Well, it has since married some other things (like the wonderful, cozy fabric from Kashi at Metro Textiles on the left, above, that will become its lining), got some good, heavy, separating zippers cut to size at Botani... (It only costs $1 per zipper to have it cut, with stops perfectly reapplied while you wait, by the way.)
and got a great fake fur to frame the hood...
and it became... see next post...

Thank God. And I mean that sincerely.
The day before yesterday, these things were said to me:
- "Don't you dare apologize for your process. You are amazing!" (said to me by someone who was watching me show a jacket that has taken a long time to finish to its intended wearer.) He made my day.
- "I was calling to thank you for recommending me... I got the job!" (said to me by a former design studio coworker, whose work is UH-MAY-ZING)
- "Remember, you gave me some advice a year ago? I followed it! Thank you!" (said to me by someone who confidently asked her employer for what she needed... and got it!)
- "You should take some medicine... This will help your symptoms." (That one was said to me by my husband last night (11/16) before giving me a cup of Nyquil-type stuff that finally put a lid on this cold!)
So, here's an idea of some sewing-related things that have been going on...
