Hello friends!<\/p>\n

I’m on my way to England this morning, first to teach a workshop in Birmingham and then for a little fun. We’re taking S to find platform 9 3\/4 and the Hogwarts Express<\/a>. It’s\u00a0 been high on her wish list for more than a year. And then we’ll be back in time for Semana Santa<\/a> and all the events surrounding Holy Week here in Madrid. It sounds like it will be quite an experience.<\/p>\n

Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you aren’t following it already, we’ve started a new Sewing Tutorials Pinterest board<\/a> that includes all the tutorials from our blog. It includes this week’s tutorial for connecting the ends of two bias strips, which is so handy for finishing a neckline or armhole with a bias facing. Or for binding a quilt. Or any number of other purposes.<\/p>\n

I’m still in a minimalist mood. And still making lots of quiche and tart crusts.<\/p>\n

Who else relates strongly to this? I prefer to live and work in a relatively color-less space because I work with color all day. One needs to clear the palette, I guess.<\/p>\n

This cute Class Picnic Blouse<\/a> has a really fresh, fun spring feel, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

And in honor of Easter and its bunny, here’s a cute little DIY. But mostly this photo is just an excuse to dream about ice cream, my very favorite food.<\/p>\n

Weekend Reading (and Watching\/Listening)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you haven’t seen and heard it already, the Wintergatan Marble Machine<\/a> is simply astonishing.<\/li>\n
  2. I really loved this video Alvanon released showing how the company helped the Paris Opera Ballet<\/a> improve their costume making department. I use an Alva form, and I love it. (And I still owe you a post explaining why I don’t think most people need a dress form. I promise to write it soon!)<\/li>\n
  3. I’ve put on a little weight since we moved to Madrid. I think it’s because I’m working from home now, in close proximity to the kitchen. (It doesn’t matter that it’s downstairs!) So I thought this article about why we overeat<\/a> was very interesting, and I plan to put some of these suggestions into place.<\/li>\n
  4. Brooks Brothers: ahead of the curve<\/a>! (And probably a very good place to work right now.)<\/li>\n
  5. This is going to be so, so good<\/a>. After all, it features Meryl Streep.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    OK, I’m off to work and then enjoy a little holiday. I’ll be back after Easter. See you then!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
