By Madame Purl, on July 29th, 2010 Remember my lovely sewing machine from Monday’s post? My dear friend that I have cared for – oh for around 15 years. Not a scratch on her – just needed a tune up and good cleaning. Well it was apparently packed well.
But it showed up cracked down there.
It’s been tagged and [...]
By Madame Purl, on July 17th, 2010 Friday some friends and I headed out to Midwest Fiber & Folk Art Festival. We had a great time at their new venue. We all came home with new goodies. The bag was a freebie and a very nice one indeed.

By Madame Purl, on June 22nd, 2010 So one of the the great treasures in Detroit is Pewabic Pottery. It’s a style unto itself and after seeing a tile above a sink at the Fisher Mansion (another treasure), I was quite smitten. My own father was a tile man, doing beautiful designs in tile and marble and I’ve have to admit always [...]
By Madame Purl, on May 22nd, 2010 We had a gorgeous, albeit humid day here.
It was $5 a bag book sale day at the library and I got a bag full. I think I’m going to have to donate some back before the next sale as space is always a premium around here. I’m in a romance mood, so I [...]
