It’s 100 degrees in Portland right now.  I swear.  I’m melting.  And not in a good way.  So what do I do?  Oh, you know, lock myself in my sewing room, turn on the iron full blast and bake away.  But tomorrow?

CAMPING in this thing! ———->

I’m going to the Bald Knob Fire Lookout for 4th of July weekend with my friends Lara and Spencer and their twins, River and Rosemary!  Last time I attempted to camp at Bald Knob, there was a propane leak and we had to stay down in the less awesome tent camping zones.  That’s so not as cool as camping up in an old rickety tower.  You can read about last year’s adventures here.

But before I go, I wanted to give you a sneak peek at my upcoming giveaway goodies:

The lucky winner’s gonna get a big old spool of vintage lace, a handprinted mini-journal, a felt flower headscarf and the latest issue of Stitch magazine.  Ooooo-ooooo.

I decided to wait until I get back to open up the giveaway so keep an eye out come Monday or Tuesday.  Or, better yet, join my mailing list so you’ll never miss another giveaway again.

Other upcoming delights include tutorials for basic recycled leatherworking skills + instructions for making this recycled leather halter top:

AND a tutorial for this adorable retro checkerboard pillow:

So much cuteness, so little time.  Wish me luck on my camping trip!  Lions and tigers and bears, oh my.

Craft on!
