I am Patti and I love to create.   I love to make things.  I love to paint things.  I love to take nothing and turn it into something fabulous!  I have an obsession with pretty fabric, but who doesn't?  I began making holiday vests for family and friends, which led to holiday placemats, which led to aprons, hair accessories, and purses.  There are scads of other items, but at this moment, they escape me.  My family is what is important to me, making "stuff" allows me to spend time at home, tweaking the nest and playing on my sewing machines. 

All things whimsical are delightful, all things made from hand are perfect!  Please take a peek about, if you don't see what you're looking for but feel inspired by a creation, contact me and together we'll brainstorm. 

I get antsy working on the same thing over and over, so chances are this site will be updated  as the seasons change, or when it strikes my fancy, whichever happens first.  If you have any ideas or suggestions, please contact us.  We have many ideas for the following year with lots of custom options in different mediums, so please visit often. 

Oh, by the way, "the rubia" loosely translates to "blondie."  That's me!
