Hello, I'm Rachael.

I am primarily a painter and friendly multi-tasker/ troublemaker in Upstate New York. I try to blog often but mostly I try to paint.
Leave me a comment (I'm more likely to communicate directly than in the comments), ask me a question, do your best to share what you have to say, OK? Thanks

I'll be at Second Storie again this year, Thanksgiving Weekend, Rochester NY!

    sewing machine

    I bought one. It's way too much fun to try to make straight seams. I made a couple of special bags and am getting very inspired and excited by my crazy idea to make myself a few very skirts. I go to work all day and think, and talk, and solve problems and then I come home (at least this week) and I sew. So...I think I might step out of bags (well maybe I'll try this one) but not quite to skirts and try...

    Check it:

  • Headband, like this one here

    There's a fabulous virtual world of sewing I'm finding, from Sew Mama Sew to Burda Style to the Threadbangers. And then there is the rythym of the sewing machine and the satisfaction of a (mostly) straight seam...

    take care
    Rachael
