Folk Pillows

2012-02-08T16:35:00.005-05:00

Continuing with the folk/americana inspiration, I made two small hand embroidered accent pillows. Linen, vintage japanese indigo fabric, stitched patches .... The works.

Have a look here and here.

News from my Rooftop

2012-02-05T16:18:00.009-05:00

It is still winter in NYC but it has been an unusually mild one so far.

My rooftop containers are still wearing their cold weather gear and the cold frame is insulated with bubble wrap and foam.

I was kindly given some planters this weekend (because I'm a really nice guy) and I decided to sow some poppy seeds ... and see how that goes.

The organic potting soil bags had to be carried up on the roof using a shaky vertical wooden ladder leading to the hatch. (great workout if you remember to squeeze those glutes).

From experience, I really like those two brands: Roots Organic and Ocean Forest by FoxFarm.

And now, we shall wait ...

I am already growing a poppy variety, Glaucium Flavum (horned poppy), which is doing surprisingly well this winter inside the cold frame.

The Rosa rugosa (beach rose) seedlings, grown from seeds will be planted on the rooftop in the Spring. I had collected the rose hips last summer on the Jersey shore.

There you have it, a little slice of Brooklyn container gardening!

Some of you pointed out to me that they have had problems with leaving comments lately and it's been more and more people.

I am disabling the comments temporarily until I can figure out what the problem is.

Keep visiting, downloading and get in touch with me via Etsy if need be!

What's Going On ...

2012-01-14T10:33:00.010-05:00

Why has my shop been empty for a while? Am I working on something? uh? What gives?! ...

I am actually working on some new patched, deconstructed, hippie-ish, gypsy-ish pillows.

You can see glimpses of them in the pictures.

I am using vintage japanese indigos, linen and a lot of fabric I really like ... They will be fun and playful.

They take a little time to make so please be patient.

I should have them in the shop later this month, I will let you know.

Oh and most importantly, I badly need a haircut ! - as you can see -

( don't grin, I know you care)

Have a great weekend everyone, stay positive and get inspired ...

Fish Thief

2012-01-09T16:45:00.004-05:00

My cat seems to think that my fish ornaments make excellent cat toys.

He snatched one and after much abuse, it ultimately got discarded in the food bowl ....

Dead Horse Bay

2011-12-04T14:42:00.007-05:00

If you have never heard of Dead Horse Bay, please go to this older post to get some background info.

I took my mom there when she was visiting and we had a lot of fun.

Rummaging through this "time capsule" garbage washed out on the beach, feels like being a kid again, searching for treasures.

If ever in NYC, head to Brooklyn on a sunny day at low tide (key factor!), bring a sturdy plastic bag and a pair of gloves and explore the very unique Dead Horse Bay.

You'll be happy you did.
