Meet me in Washington, D.C. over the holidays!

December 12, 2017 by Tasha 16 Comments

I couldn't resist a title riffing on one of my favorite old movies, Meet Me in St. Louis. But it's true! If you're in the Washington, D.C. area over the holidays, let's meet! I'm very tickled to announce I'll be at Three Little Birds Sewing Co. in Hyattsville, Maryland (suburban D.C.) for a retro holiday Meet & Greet on Friday, December 22nd, from 7-9pm. Cocktails, festive music, and sewing chatter. Come ask me ... Read more »

Last month’s vacation in the U.K.

May 18, 2017 by Tasha 36 Comments

Hi, friends! When we last met, I was bringing you a scheduled blog post on my birthday, while we were off in London! A much belated thank you for all the compliments on my dress and the happy birthday wishes! ♥ ♥ ♥ Since we got home, we've been super busy. In large part because my dad came to stay with us for over a week to (primarily) build a new fence along our alley, taking down the old fence. It's also garden time, ... Read more »

Going out for a small joy

July 13, 2016 by Tasha 15 Comments

Saturday, Mel and I both woke up supremely cranky. There's just so much heart-wrenching, close-minded madness going on in the world, so much to make you feel hopeless or despondent or pissed off or numb any number of other things, and too many people with their heads screwed on poorly or just not even paying attention at all. And so we were cranky. Really cranky. We needed a distraction. Sometimes you have to at least try ... Read more »

Two red riding hoods and Alphonso

January 14, 2015 by Tasha 24 Comments

Over Christmas when Mel and I were at my mom and step-dad's house, I was lucky enough to get in some BFF time with Rochelle, who came to stay the first weekend of our trip with us! Uh, happy faces, anyone? This photo was taken just a few minutes after she got there. :) It was great, because other than an hour-long layover she had at O'Hare this summer, we hadn't seen each other since we hung out in March. ...

Reflections on 2014

December 30, 2014 by Tasha 48 Comments

Happy (almost) New Year, my friends! It's that time of the year, so I thought I'd do a reflections post. Instead of rounding up everything I've made (gag—not this year, I've made too much), or try to draw any conclusions or do a lot of soul-searching, I thought I'd instead just chat about the underlying themes that I noticed ran through my blog this year. The year of the dress I had no idea back in early January when I ... Read more »

Thanksgiving weekend and holiday cards

December 15, 2014 by Tasha 25 Comments

Hello friends! I meant to do this post a couple of weeks ago, but here we are, closer to Christmas than Thanksgiving. And so it goes this over the holidays, sometimes! ;) I just wanted to share a few photos from our long weekend over Thanksgiving. As it happens, we unfortunately ended up taking pictures in several places where the lighting was less than ideal, so I apologize in advance, but hey, at we we have a little ... Read more »
