And a flea market report: we had a warmer day on Sunday in Brooklyn so there was a little flea market action. I got this little sewing apron, cutest apron ever maybe.

There’s been lots of bird making going on. Here’s a little box-o-birds in progress.

They’re headed for various destinations, several are headed for my shop. The update will happen on Friday or Saturday and I’ll put a notice on the blog when it’s up. I’m still in the weeds, bird wise, but in the future I’m going to try to do at least little updates regularly.
I stopped at Tinsel Trading yesterday for some cake topper things. I got so overwhelmed by the magnificence of the place and the extraordinary selection of extraordinary things they have I ended up leaving with a fraction of what I needed. I did get some little vintage millinery flowers and peachy glass glitter and inspiration for new things to make.

A little while ago I was in Cherry Valley Massachusetts, where I grew up, sorting through the mountain of childhood stuff that’s stored in my brothers attic. I found some things that I made as a kid, including this red ceramic thing

and some old craft magazines from the seventies. This is from McCall’s Needlework and Crafts 1973.

There’s some good stuff and some funny stuff in the magazines and I’ll post more soon.
