she's back...

By popular demand. What is it about Little Red Riding Hood? I like making her and apparently several of you, that have asked about her, do to. I just added two new versions to my site (here and here). I wish my photos made these pieces justice. The gray day that we started out here today didn't help one bit.

Into the Woods II



Hiding - I've been wanting to add the wolf for a while but never got around to doing it.



Speaking of Little Red Riding Hood these are a couple of the fabrics that I got from Sonatine that I found out about through Hillary. I don't typically buy cute looking fabrics but I just fell for these and thought I'd include them in a couple of Christmas presents I have in mind for little C. Yes, I'm going to tackle a sewing project. I don't really know if it's realistic of me to work on something like this right now (lack of time - what else is new?) but I'm going to give it a shot.



You're probably tired of me giving thank yous in my posts but I just feel I must. Lisa Solomon, who needs no introduction, for example, said the nicest things about my work at Sew Green. Thank you Lisa. I think I was blushing when I read all that.

More thank yous to Amy and Ready-Made for posting about my popsicle sticks tags. They sure have been getting around! I didn't post a gift tag idea this week because I just couldn't come up with something that was worth posting. It gets frustrating when I can't come up with an idea, but I can't force it. I think what makes these little projects interesting for me though, is the fact that when I'm not too busy I have a little something to mull over.

Saving the best for last - I owe a HUGE thank you to those of you that have ordered my calendar template and have sent me such lovely emails. All your kind words are very encouraging and I just love that this project has been so well received. I had no clue that it would go like this but it has been a great, great week. Thank you. Thank you. :)

Have a great weekend and see you in December!

  8. Thought you might like the idea that when I worked at Defenders of Wildlife they had a "Little Red Riding Hood Lied," campaign. It was a very clever way to convince the U.S. public that wolves are a good thing in our forests. I wish I could say I had something to do with that campaign, but alas, it was not my idea.

    I can't STAND how adorable these are. I love the wolf too. He lends just the right amount of darkness and threat, which all the best fairy tales have.

  12. Little Red Riding Hood is just divine!!!! The woof looks perfect in the second picture. I also love the fabric and checked out the link you gave to Sonatine's shop, she has some fantastic fabrics there for sale I can't wait to go back and buy myself some.
    Well done on all of the success with the calander, it really is a great idea.
