Tuna Mousse

Here is my entry for the Cooking 4 Kids Contest over at They Draw and Cook.  I seem to be gravitating toward the water, could be Irene drenching the east coast. I hope you all survived without too much difficulty. We were fortunately just south of the landfall. I hope you dry out this week and have a great holiday weekend. See you on the other side of it.

it's easy to make
healthy to eat
and fun to think about

Fly Away

Well, I know no one likes to think about summer ending - but I can feel the crispiness in the air early in the morning now. I am looking forward to the October release of "Fly Away" the new collection for Robert Kaufman. There will be two colorways - sunrise and sunset. I will begin showing you more from the collections - and I will be doing two giveaways after Labor Day - one destashing of some fabrics from previous collections that are now hard to find and some yardage from the new collection.

Here are three prints in Sunrise....






and three from Sunset.....  (more to follow as we get closer to October)

Coming Soon





Remember this post about a fabric I designed and printed on Spoonflower? Well I developed a fabric collection called "Fly Away" which will be released soon by Robert Kaufman. I will keep you posted on release dates etc. And of course, will have a give away once I get my sample yardage. I am looking forward to this collection -

It will include a really fun whimsical panel, a lovely butterfly print, a couple of playful allover bird prints, a new floral, a circle geo, a retro stripe, and of course the flying birds with clouds print in two new and fresh color palletes. Can't wait to share it with you.
