Schoolhouse Tunic
This was the second piece of clothing I've made - since I was 10. I've been scarred by the big 4. Oh you know the drill, flip through the catalogs, cringe at the bad styling, curse at the horribly written directions, and hold your finished product which should really go to Goodwill. Oh the days when sewing clothes screamed - someone at home made me! Well I was pleasantly surprised by this pattern by Sew Liberated. It went together in an afternoon, was extremely well written, and came together beautifully! I've gotten loads of compliments on this shirt. Way to go Meg!

Quotes that resonate ~
"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought or processed. Or repair anything sold, bought or processed, y'know?" ~ Say Anything
Obsession
No it's not the fragrance which I speak of, but of uncontrollable cyber stalking - of Anthropologie and ModCloth. I thought this secret illness was of mine alone, apparently that is not so. You know who you are, and worry not, for you are in good company.

About Me
- JulieL
- Hi, I'm Julie. Welcome to my blog! I am a 30 year old, SAHM of two kids 8 and 4, part-time college student working towards a psych major, cook, and textile lover. When I grow up, and finally finish my degrees, I intend to be an early intervention therapist for children with learning disabilities. For fun though mainly I sew and read. As many of you probably can attest to, my boxes of art supplies are pretty much endless, and I refuse to do an inventory count. I happen to know Jacquard paints are in there, wool felt, spools and spools of ribbon, a dash of beads, some ubber awesome glues, and of course my stash. I previously had this blog private, but have been so in love with other people's work shared on their blogs - I now want to share my work with you, along with a few meandering rambles here and there. To me art is meant to be communal. At heart I'm a designer and artist. Many of my projects are my own patterns, and I hope to pull some tutorial's together for you. Love is rooted in the threads of our lives. Why not celebrate life with beauty crafted by the soul and hand?
