this is not a sea creature…..it is a pattern for a pretty little ruffle. this pattern reminds me of a grade school video on the wonders of mathematics. i like science and geometry.

so i was sewing…….that’s nothing new. i hit a pin with the needle on my sewing machine, and the needle didn’t break (which is what normaly happens). instead, the pin bent in half. strange. i like how it looks.
goodnight.

the voltage fashion show is quickly approaching, and we are very busy sewing these days. this past weekend was particularly special because we got to share it with ruby, a spaniel/mix puppy friend. we were dog sitting for our friend kara, who happens to be a brilliant jewlery designer. in the photo below, eleanor (my blonde mutt) and ruby (the black and white beauty) seem to be enjoying the weekend by napping on the couch. more accurately, they enjoyed the weekend by wrestling with each other, tossing around toys, and barking at squirrels……..and when bonnie and i weren’t laughing at them, we were trying to get some sewing done.
bonnie and i love our friends! last week we invited our friend, vân, to come over and help us out with the glove production.
it was awesome to spend time with someing so excited about what we are doing. bonnie and i ended the evening by brainstorming some new and exciting ideas.

in this photo you can see all of the bits and pieces that will eventually be sewn together to make some super tough fingerless cycling gloves. they’ll have built in pockets to store your keys, credit card, ID, or cash. each pair of gloves is adorned with a sweet bunny to add the cuteness such a tough item. colors include charcoal plus coral, and charcoal plus white.
have a great day!

Bonnie - not in the studio. When Bonnie isn’t busy working on our spring line for Voltage, she pretends she’s all grown up…….she even has a “career” and wears “business attire.”
