(Congratulations Sarah! you did it!)
Things have been crazy for me as all mom's know the last few weeks of school are always hectic but add a high school graduation complete with out of town guest... and I think you get the idea!

Over the last few days I have been able to get back into the stuido as I am frantically working away trying to build up an inventory for fiberfest:June 24th -28th (day passes are now being sold if you would like to attend) and for Idyllwild art: july 4th and 5th (seats are still available)

Here is the lay out of "our wings"

and this is what the lay out ended up looking like just before I start to sew.

These dresses are waiting for hand details.

I made a batch of cuffs, here are two Poetry Fabric Cuffs.

Your work blows my mind! Your dresses are amazing, and then you show an intricate necklace with hammered brass- it makes me wonder what you can't create. I love all of the details and care you put into each piece. Thanks as always for the inspiration!
