Weekdays from scratch: Thrifted Thursday: Vintage Quilt
http://weekdays-from-scratch.blogspot.com/2015/07/thrifted-thursday-vintage-quilt.html
Thursday, July 30, 2015. Thrifted Thursday: Vintage Quilt. This quilt is perfect for a girl about to turn six years old- the perfect combination of whimsy and colour- scraps of fabric from the 1940's and 50's combine together in a Dresden Plate pattern on a well worn white background. What I love is the equal amounts of hand and machine stitching- I imagine this quilt was sewn when home machines were starting to become more sophisticated as there is a fancy machine embroidered edge.

Weekdays from scratch: Thrifted Thursday
http://weekdays-from-scratch.blogspot.com/2015/07/thrifted-thursday.html
Thursday, July 16, 2015. One of my current go- to pieces is this yummy off white gauze dress- picked up for a song because of some minor imperfections- just wonky enough to not be a top quality vintage piece. I love it and have been wearing the heck out of it during this heat wave! This piece embodies everything I love- that throwback to Victorian style- all be it Victorian night ware perhaps! This dress is meant for adventuring and that is just what I have been doing while wearing it! Hi, I'm Sharilyn.

Weekdays from scratch: Hiking: Bridal Falls
http://weekdays-from-scratch.blogspot.com/2015/07/hiking-bridal-falls.html
Friday, July 17, 2015. On our recent visit out to Harrison Hot Springs we decided to make a pit stop to stretch our legs on our way back into the city. We pulled over to explore a spot that we have driven by probably about a dozen or more times per year for the past 13 years- Bridal Falls. The falls are awe inspiring from the highway so I was excited to see them up close for the first time. July 17, 2015 at 8:30 AM. So comfy. And my nails are even painted a similar colour!

Wednesday, January 28, 2015. A Year of Making. Last night I stumbled across the most interesting of tags on Instagram- Year of Making- something about this personal tag appealed to me- it challenged me- it really excited me. I thought yes- this is something I can get behind- a personal challenge to myself to document all that I make over the course of a year! I seriously can't wait- it's such a gift to be able to take this class. I haven't worked with clay since my art school days and way back then i...

Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Back In The Studio. New year- new sketchbook! I always find the first page of a new sketchbook so full of promise and possibility- no mistakes as yet- just a blank slate. I may have spent my Christmas money on a whack of new art supplies this week- I totally spoiled myself with some Molotow. Acrylic pens- so good- acrylic paint in marker form- makes drawing a real treat! Tuesday, December 30, 2014. More Knitting For My Small Being. My little city elf is all set for a chilly ...

Weekdays from scratch: This is Six
http://weekdays-from-scratch.blogspot.com/2015/08/this-is-six.html
Thursday, August 13, 2015. My dear girl- today you are six. Last night as I tucked you in you started crying- you said you wanted to stay five- you said you wanted to stay a baby. I said you will always be my baby. You are most definitely a big kid now- able to climb the highest monkey bars and run with the pack. Please feel free to leave a comment- I love hearing from you!

Thursday, November 27, 2014. Some Knitting For A Small Being. The requests for hand knits keep rolling in and I do the best that I can to follow through on my promises- of course when it comes to my own small girl requesting a new hat for the winter how could I resist! Was just the ticket for this magical wool- quick and easy to knit up- the shape is super simple- all topped off with a bit of fun! All this to say that my girl asked for a new pink hat and I made her one! Wednesday, November 26, 2014.

Weekdays from scratch: June 2015
http://weekdays-from-scratch.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 26, 2015. These days I am completely obsessed with the statement necklace- but not any statement necklace- the handmade- chunky bead variety. So it was only natural that I would start to make them myself at the studio- the bigger the better! I'm totally loving how these beads are turning out- especially when pared with some chunky indigo dyed cotton rope. I'm feeling super inspired by my surroundings these days and it's indigo for days- blue on blue on blue! Thursday, June 25, 2015. We try a...

Thursday, May 14, 2015. Gifts for three (and a few for me! Happy mid-May morning to you, my friends! The turn of the calendar page to May changed our weather into summer-like conditions almost overnight- I love it! Most of my stitching lately has been sent away as gifts and now that the recipients have received them, I can share them with you. First of all, I sent this little pillow to my friend, Melissa,. With Thy Needle and Thread's "Valentine Sampler". I then finished it into a small pin pillow comple...
