Happy New Year!

Posted on | December 31, 2008 | 4 Comments

Happy New Year’s Eve! I am heading down to New York this afternoon to spend the holiday with family and friends. I can’t wait for my nieces to try out their new scarves I made. (Yes! I finished both of them in record time!) Above is a collage I put together of some of my favorites memories from 2008. I wish you all love, happiness, and success in 2009!

I finished my scarf!

I officially finished my scarf I started last winter! I love the gray yarn it’s so comfy and fuzzy. I started on a purple one for my oldest niece. Hopefully I can finish hers today because I have a pink one to make for her sister!

Textiles From Guatemala

Posted on | December 30, 2008 | 3 Comments

Somehow I came across nimpot.com last night while I was searching for “Guatemalan pillows”. The site is full of gorgeous colorful textiles from different villages in Guatemala. You can purchase from the site but only via check or money order..seems strange. Prices range from $50-$500. Check out for inspiration: nimpot.com.
