I went back to last year’s post and this is the FOURTH year I’ve participated! Thanks Cheryl for putting together another fun blog hop. Unlike a lot of lucky folks, I am in a tiny townhome and don’t have a dedicated sewing room. I have a space in our master bedroom where I sew, and […]
Today kicks off Cheryl Sleboda’s annual spring cleaning frenzy. This is my fourth year participating! It’s always a great excuse to get in the studio and straighten up! Be sure to come by on Friday and see what I’ve accomplished. I promise dramatic before pictures–we’ll see about after! April 23 – Lori Crawley Kennedy – http://theinboxjaunt.com/ […]
Have you been watching the new tv series based on Margaret Atwood’s novel The Handmaid’s Tale?

The blog hop is very timely for me this year. We are about to renovate our master bathroom, and we’re […]
One of the most amazing aspects of having my first solo show at the College Park Aviation Museum is being able to plug into their already existing public outreach programs. The museum has welcomed me to participate in any of their regularly scheduled and special activities. These programs vary from a brown bag lunch lecture […]

Equally used and valued by Korean peasants, working classes, and royalty, these multipurpose textiles combined functionality, aesthetic, and craftsmanship. They served a variety […]
