Hi, I'm Kristen. Nice to meet you!

A little about me: I work full time and just completed graduate school, so I like to exercise the "right side" of my brain in my spare time by sewing, thrifting and...trying to knit.

My husband and I live in beautiful Orange County, California (really, I'm normal, even though I live in California) and share our home with our two wonderfully entertaining black cats, Pito and The Little Black One. I'm also a hopeless romantic...

I acquired these terrific vintage patterns last year (click the photos for larger views)...


...and I'd like to use some vintage fabric I received as a gift from my mother-in-law and some very cute bed sheets I found at thrift stores.

I'm looking forward to starting the sew-a-long in just a couple weeks!
