Just wanted to share a few items that are super warm + great for this time of year! This cowl is available in my etsy shop. I also have a bunch of smaller ones, button up, + one for the dudes.

Legwarmers made from recycled sweaters! This is a new item in my shop. Find this one + more here.

Pictured above are some of my skirts and patchwork scarves (inspired by the women of Gee's Bend). Those scarves took forever to make but are SO MUCH FUN. To the right is some art by local artist Jess Graham. As I've mentioned before, I'm really excited to be gearing up for this weekend's holiday show Queen City Craft Bazaar. Here are some sneak previews of artists that will be there!

the swing of things

My iron bit the dust today! It was a super cheap one from a big box store that I bought after I started sewing. It's probably a good 5 years old. It was a really heavy one and got super hot. Although I understand WHY irons have automatic shut-offs after 8 minutes, it is very inconvenient for me. Enough about that.

I've been photographing and listing so much on etsy. This satellite internet makes it take twice as long to get anything done on here, but while I'm living five miles up a dirt road I've got plenty of time! Hope you enjoy the recent listings and revamped photographs. Reminder that Queen City is this Saturday and I am very excited about it! I also dropped off some new jewelry at Bella Boutique in Burlington, VT and the Clothing Line in Burlington. Stop in to give them some love!

Also if you'd like to see Nicole's Threads in a store near you, recommend them here!

updates from rural VermontI

Since the last post I have moved! I'm now connected through an annoyingly slow satellite internet because it's all we can get five miles up the dirt road that we live on in Wolcott, Vermont. But it sure is beautiful and the sunsets driving down our road are to die for.

I just made a huge update to my etsy store and can now go out in the yard with my tripod and take as many pictures as I want without any visible neighbors looking over and wondering what the hell I'm doing!

Anywho -- I am super excited to re-invent my patchwork cowl from last season. This season I'll be making a batch of super cute scarves as well.. all inspired by the wonderful quilting women of Gee's Bend. They saved all of their scraps and made the most beautiful quilts that sing and dance with color, as I hope to do with my creations.

Here are some of the holiday shows that I'll be participating in...

Strut! Art hop time!

It's art hop time. This is my first year participating in the South End Burlington Arthop. I'll gladly be selling wares/jewelry at Battery St. Jeans on Pine St. tomorrow evening at 5pm and will be showing at the fashion show 'Strut' on Saturday behind the Maltex building. Models will be walking at 7pm and 9pm. See you there!

Shop Local! Bike to a boutique.

I can't express how important I think shopping local and supporting all things local is. The city I live in makes it very easy to get grass-to-glass milk, local eggs, meat, etc. I know it isn't as easy in other towns and it's easy to take it for granted. I love selling online but I think it's equally, if not more important to push the little businesses that are still supporting local, handmade items. To the right is Heather of the Clothing Line. I love that the places I sell things are the same places I love to shop. I'll be giving away a free pair of button earrings for every comment left with a local boutique you love that you'd like to see Nicole's Threads carried in.
