Nicole Miller had dogs. Bryant Park obviously had dogs. Mood Fabrics... more dogs. But the day was anything but a dog!

Kumihimo, Japanese Braiding by The Shore

Kumihimo, Japanese Braiding by The Shore

Well we went on our annual trek down the NJ shore with my husband John, his mom, his three sisters, his cousin and their families. There were sixteen of us in all.

Fun, Friends, Family and the Iron Hill Bike Race

Yesterday we spent the day at the Main Line Today Community Festival and Iron Hill Bike Race in West Chester PA. There were tons of people, lots of food, things to do and beautiful weather. We were there with a craft table, working with kids and talking to parents. Once again, everyone loved what we were doing with kids and wished we could be in their community. Thank goodness we now have the website!

Lights, Camera.....Stitch!

Lights, Camera.....Stitch!

We love making videos for the website, but I'll tell you, it is pretty involved....almost like being in another business all together. However, I have to say that it is a blast. It is just another form of being creative and luckily I'm surrounded by some really talented people. (This is Mara-one of our studio kids, Miss Elaine-our web editor and Ed-our videographer).
