Isn't that Michael Kors and Laura? And wait, isn't that Marge Lee's dress???


Well, my close proximity to Michael Kors is a REALLY long story that I REALLY love to tell in person so hopefully I will have a chance to bore you all with my tale! Oh yea, about the dress....it is a vintage (circa 1968) lil silk shift that my mom (Marge, age 85) bought in a trendy little boutique in the Netherlands!

Five years and many more to go!


My good good friend Ava marked her 5 year breast cancer survival anniversary! Woo hoo!!!! I crafted this fabric postcard made of all things '5' to celebrate! Five golden rings, a five of diamonds, Beethoven's Fifth, Number 5 – Mets baseball player, high five, 5 inches, a nickel, etc, etc! So much fun to make for Ava!

Opening Day "Costumes"

Theme dressing is, in my view, a definite "fashion don't" but for some inexplicable reason I am compelled each year to make an opening day "costume"! Yikes! Year One opening day project was the baseball duster. This year I recycled two old Nationals t-shirts into my favorite drop waist skirt. I think the "Stitch 'N Pitch" game night is an ideal venue for the official game day debut!
