This has been a week of fun and surprises!
On Wednesday I awoke to see Wednesday Showcase at Rhonda’s Creative Life was featuring Becca (she seems nice!) and little me (I can be sweet!)! isn’t that cool? I follow in some very intimidating and inspiring footsteps! The pups don’t think so- they got very little coverage, they really weren’t sure what the point was at all if they weren’t featured! Psst- hey houndys, it’s MY sewing blog!!
Katze had even bathed to prepare for any photo shoots that might come along.
The Lady of Alliteration, Denise – let young Jimmy Olsen into my lair for a visit and the results are a minor expose on hoarding and chaos!
Thank you Ladies, you made me blush and beam (that was for you Denise) !
One a side note- Katze’s profile in Mensa Weekly is still on hold while they continue to search for her credentials. sigh….
I other news, I’m plugging along on my Simplicity 1880- leopard silky stretchy marvelousness!

Oh what fun! Loved the tour and of course, the pups. Was that a token cat I saw?
Clemmons is a bit more covert that the pups- it’s hard to get him to pose for me!
So how are the little German hounds feeling about the unfurling feline in the sewing room?
Its amazing- about once a day it’s like something clicks and they realize, ‘hey! There’s a cat in here?!’ and chase it around barking for about 5 minutes until someones nose gets whacked by said cat and then they all go back to their regular sleeping. Bizarre.
Congratulations on being featured! I love your sewing room, what a wonderful huge window you have! And how do you manage to keep the sofa free? If I had a sofa in my sewing room I just know it would be covered in fabric and books and patterns…
Well, whatever I put there, Liesl will push off! She likes alot of room!
My apologies to the pups. There were so many marvelous things that caught my eye and I was just overwhelmed!!
Your studio is lovely.
Oh, please- dachshunds are very self important. I think they have never gotten over the royal family preferring another short-legged breed!
ooo leopard print dress!! I eyed up some leopard print fabric in town today but then didnt have the guts to buy it as I dont know what to make out of it
There is nothing that is not enhanced by a little or a lot of faux animal print! I say get on the feral freeway with me!
Your interview was fabulous. And I’m quite jealous of your sewing space!
Oh thank you!
Thank you. I notice there’s a white Lab in the background. Like Atchison!
Those long legs really confused the Katze!
How doubly awesome! Your sewing room is so organized- I need to get mine cleaned-up. I am starting to lose projects under the piles of muslins, fabric scraps, notions and papers everywhere.
Sometimes I do more organizing than sewing, unfortunately!
Congratulations, you’re famous! I love that you found a picture of Pola Negri, who was fabulous and does not get nearly enough attention.
Isn’t she lovely?
Oh My!!! Congratulations to you on all your achievements. Knew you were a superstar all along.
oh, you know better than that! !
I’m so jealous of your sewing room! I (and my husband) wish I could be so organized! Can I also say that I love your writing style? You are hilarious!
I don’t think I’d seen your doll clothes – they are so precious! You’ve reminded me a second time that I really need to get a Sidewinder. Used to think they were frivolous, but that was just jealousy talking.
I mocked them when i saw them in the store, but it really is a big help! I think tehy come in pink now, darn it!
