A Cinderella moment

Once upon a time, on a sunny and crisp afternoon last October, I sat down for lunch at an outdoor cafe on Newbury Street in Boston. I was dining alone until this unexpected guest hopped over to my plate.

So super cute, even if a bit presumptuous. I was happy to share, since this really cracked me up (and I was finished eating). It felt a little like a scene out of a Disney movie. Now if I could only get some little animals to sew for me....

Eyeing another bite.

New Website!

Wonder Threads has a new website. It's a simple diy type thing, which is VERY different from my first website, and exactly what I need. Yay! It's a good starting off point, or should I say re-starting off point. It will evolve over time, and become a little fancier eventually. For now, I'm happy.
With this new website comes a renewed interest in blogging. I've pretty much sucked at it over the past year, but I'm re-starting here as well. I've been wanting to play a little catch up, sooo....here's what 2010 looked like for me...
