A Multi Room Oasis
I’ve been saying to no one in particular that this room should feel like a lush enchanted oasis. (Arwa gave me those vibes a little bit. ) During the day it should feel relaxing and like a day spent by the side of a lagoon. And at night it should feel like a quiet breeze carrying you under the Milky Way.
A New Space
One of the projects I’ve been working on is updating the platform for this website. I’ve talked before about developing a line of sewing patterns and I’m also developing an online sewing course (more on that later) and I wanted to make sure I had the space for both those things and the rest of what I’ve got going on here.
A New Addition: Singer Model 66
When I sent her photos of my most recent on a whim acquisition, my mother asked, “Are you a collector?” Yes? At this point, yes. Introducing my new to me 1921 Singer Model 66. Stunning, I know.

In the summer I bought the headboard off Craigslist (brand unknown) added two duvets (used as one) and a new duvet cover with matching pillows.
2024 Birthday Gown
Even though it wasn’t part of my original vision, for now, I’m reveling in a job well done and ahead of schedule by four days. This gown is something I have been wanting to make for a while and it turned out to be absolutely perfect for this birthday

2024 Creative Goals
Ever since the pandemic hit, goal setting has been a bit unwieldy, but I’ve think I’ve finally hit a stride in system that works for me. I will share more about how I’m going about accomplishing these and other goals in a later post. Knowing how volatile the last year was for me, I'm writing this list with a great deal of optimism because ultimately things have been going so well. I want to keep that momentum throughout 2024.
