My Silk Oak Family Holidays

I finally got around to going through photos from the holidays

and couldn't resist these pics of the family all decked out in

their new Silk Oak Owl American Apparel track jackets!

I made 15 of them. These photos only show 11 of them in action.

We were worried that someone stumbling upon us 

might think we were a cult!.

Of course, nothing is cuter than Weezie & Beeks in

their one of a kind outfits. I always like to try new 

things out on my in house fans to gauge their response 

and work out the kinks. Cute Belly, huh?

Organic Cotton Quilt Squares, Oh My!

Now that I've discovered how much I love the look of Silk Oak

colors against the backdrop of my studio barn wall, I want to 

photograph everything against it! I've been wanting to do some 

quilts and pillows, maybe even wall hangings for a long time now.

A friend asked me to make a Farmyard quilt square for her 

soon to be born grandchild and it finally got me moving. I 

bought some organic cotton fabric at Quilters Corner and 

we whipped a pile of them up.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. We did 

these 3, as well as my perennial favorite, the Frog. I want to

do lots more but these are piling up. Great, now I've created

another project waiting for me to get to it!

 

Maybe I should just sell the squares and let customers DIY.

Or I could have a contest to come up with the most

innovative use for them. Or ........ What do you think?

The Cutest Lunch Bags ever!

We started making these incredible Organic Cotton Lunch 

bags around the holidays but we never got a chance to take 

photos of them. Today the weather was perfect so we dragged

my little green table from my bedroom and set up a photo shoot

against the backdrop of my amazing cornflower colored, studio 

wall. Even though it was chilly, it was well worth it!

I love these bags. I can see them as perfect for travel with kids. 

They're just the right size to hold treasured little toys.

I think they'd be great for carrying my beading or

knitting projects, too. What do you think they'd be good for?

I love the way they all look grouped together. I'm not sure

which one is my favorite. Today it might be the Dandelions!

Here I am with my "Say Cheese" smile in front of the new

sign. Just think of how amazing this will look when I

have some living plants in the planters!

I love this store! It's like a little cottage and a dream come true.

I've been fantasizing about having a store in this building

for about 25 years. The interior is even cuter than the outside.

Finally got our flag mounted on the building.

Now you can tell when we're here!
