someday when I am done having babies and we have extra money to spend, I will dress in harvey faircloth clothing... it's a long way off (the having extra money part, that is), but someday! their modern yet timeless, simple and quirky designs look so comfortable, fun and easy to wear.

anchor pillow



I came across this pillow today while doing some research for work... what can I say? I love, love, love it!
it is a perfect blend of materials (like, that little hint of striping in the anchor!) and hand-made quality AND it is perfectly out of my budget. I am thinking after my christmas gifts are all made (and, after I decorate our new house addition and after I have the baby...ha!) I will have a go at making one for myself.

one of many christmas projects













I am not sure my design friends would find this pillow that I am working on for my motocross racing brother very "cool", BUT I am quite happy with the results. I took a fun little printing class at our new fabric store downtown last week and learned a very simple technique for clean, crisp printing—a look similar to silkscreen, but without the screen and clean-up. I am looking forward to trying this process on some other christmas presents I will be making in the upcoming weeks.
