My sewing machine must really hate me now. For months it has been making this weird clacking noise whilst sewing. Then, the other day it started making this horrible high pitched screeching noise, and then refused to go all together.
I had a look inside, nothing, seeemed to be wrong, caught, or out of place. But then I had the genius idea of giving it some lube. Et voila. No screeching, not even clacking, running as smooth as silk. For how long had my machine been crying out for attention and I'd been neglecting it?? Very, very bad.
Anyway I finally finished making my birdy softie, which needed a tail, and am going to contribute it to Softies for Mirabel. I probably should have made something more colorful for the kiddies. Maybe i'll try my hand at making another, simpler toy.

bird is lovely. i like the tail too! i hate to say it, but the tail is better than the one you made of a similar bird from ages ago... lah di dah... haha.
lara, you should make things to sell! with your own fabric! it'll sell like hotcakes.
btw - when's more fabric gonna be sold? i wanna preorder again because i lost out on all the notebook kits and packaged fabrics that were sold. plus, i used up all the fabric i bought. will have to put up a photo of what i've made.
laters!
your blog's looking so pretty!
BTW, Thought you might like to know that I've done a little trend roundup on the Elle Decoration SA blog (http://elledeco.blogspot.com), including your terraces design.
Cheers,
Heather
Love this!
Great little birdie!
I bought some cards of your design at Moo to use for my family Christmas cards. Because the cards are square, I have to use a 58 cent stamp (17 cent more than regular postage due). I found a source for making my own stamps certified by the United States Postal Service and have the idea of using one of your designs for the postage on the 3 dozen stamps. I am writing here to ask your permission to use the deer design in jpeg form. Please?
Let me know by emailing me at

The link for the stamp source is
