Miss Mouse Sewing

Necessity is the key to creativity. I built an outdoor sink while I renovate my kitchen. My first carpentry project, don't look too close! A million mistakes and yet I love it. Maybe a circular saw is a girl's best friend! #castiron #sink (80 years old) #diy #pipefabrication #faucetology

My good friend Leah's artwork on the freshly painted LR wall. @leahrodarti @smallspaceart #sanclementeartist

I'm a collector! As I get ready to paint my dining (sewing) room the artist and her work. She arranged her pieces considering the negative space and so much more. I'm motivated. @leahrodarti @smallspaceart #sanclementeartist

And then it was powder coated! Oh the furniture you can build. #ilovewelding

This is why I'm so into welding! This fence / gate is killer. Simple steel fence with an organic pattern hand cut with an oxy acetalyne torch. So much better than something manufactured. #happinessis

Ulla Johnson just featured in the NYTimes fashion section Sunday. Check out her favorite jewelry etc., Quite beautiful. LA girls hit up her sample sale this coming week. So jealous.

2020...the fun is in the process. It's not really the end result, the work in progress is where it's at. So you can smile when you look back at it. #makesomething

And while I was at it, I built a steel fence. Also to be continued! It's finished, 7 panels in all and 50' long. My next trick is putting it up and growing something on it so it becomes a #livingfence ! Also not easy, I had to cry a few times.

Finding myself making and building all the things I've been thinking about. 2 semesters of welding and voila. Not really, it's harder than it looks! Many more steps till it morphs into a kitchen necessity, to be continued.

#laportebags made one at a time.

Colefish came to visit with her CV bag. She looked so cool with it that I made one. It's a little West Point, a little ClareV, but it's all Italian construction. @nicolelaporte1 #missmousesewing
