So, my card table had seen better days.  The cheap vinyl covering had scratches and tears, so it always required a tablecloth.  My usual solution was to cover with a piece of chalkcloth - instant fun kids table!  A great solution, but still the table was lacking.

What a busy past couple of months!  We have all kinds of exciting news and fun new projects to share with everyone this spring. We’ve kicked off the year in a big way with filming a TV segment for a new PBS show, It's Sew Easy.  The episode will feature our wool felt baby grab ball. Remember those from childhood? It was an amazing experience to be on TV and to meet the other designers who were filming with us.  Check out the studio!  More details on the show coming your way soon.

Our favorite pillow kit - the ruffled rosette pillow was selected by HGTV as a handmade holiday gift in it's marketplace. If time is tight for the holidays, we will also make the pillows up for you!

I chose to mix the colors...
