stripes and such
Hello. I feel my slump starting to turn around and I thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement! It was only a creative funk and not an overall downer. I was feeling quite fine in general. The good news is that my ideas sound exciting again, I'm feeling up to getting those pj pants made for my two N's (Nathan & Noah) and after finding some g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s linen yesterday I'm anxious to make my couch pillows. Hopefully the weekend will prove to be very productive. My poor sewing machine has been quite neglected, I really want to hear that little motor whir again.
So--stripes. I'm not normally a stripe kind of a gal, but I do so love them when it comes to tights. I wish I could tell you who made these and where to buy them. They were a thrift store find about 2 winters ago. As much as I love to take pictures of feet and shoes, there is no way I could resist today. Not with these stripy beauties on.
I'm planning to do a shop update soon with a little variety of things--including an acorn or two. I've just started an email list you can join if you would like to be notified of updates. Send an email to: peacefulhome at juno dot com with "shop list" in the header. Thank you!
(For those of you who already sent an email to the gmail address--don't resend. I've moved all addresses over to the juno account. I was having trouble with gmail and I don't have time for trouble!)
Hopefully I'll be back next week with some crafty goodness to show.
Have a lovely weekend~

I've got such a yearning for stripey tights. If I was a little girl, I'd be okay, but there is no way I'm going to get away with kiddies ones. Damn.

I think I have seen stripey tights like that in Hanna Andersson for women. I know they had them last season them or I thought so. I just checked and they have Let it Snow Tights. Another site I found is www.joyofsocks.com
