Delicious Distractions



About 40 minutes from my home there is a most delicious diversion this time of year: Porter, Oklahoma, the peach capital of the state and Livesay Orchards. We hopped over to the Porter Peach festival recently and brought home nearly a bushel!
At the orchard, you can pick your own or let them do the real work...it is a very busy place!!

Since then, I have made several fresh peach pies
(with homemade crusts!).
Farmer's markets nearer to my home are still boasting Porter Peaches so it is hard to resist picking up a few more!


Ok, back to the distracting part..I should be working on new purses and new purse patterns today-that was my plan-or organizing my business books for my darling better half
(he is the left brain half).

But instead, I made peach pies! When he emailed me about my accounting records, I emailed back a picture of his pie-fresh out of the oven! Even he understands priorities!


Happy distractions

About Me

My photo
Elaine
Thankful to God for my many blessings. Love my family, Love animals, Love sewing and art. Vegetarian for 25 years. As a lifelong sewing enthusiast & fiber art fanatic, I love all things sewn, stuffed, embroidered & embellished. After designing & manufacturing clothing, infant bedding & pillows under my own label & private store labels (Neiman-Marcus, Talbots, Abercrombie & Fitch, Harold's, Bellini) for two decades, I realized my true passion in making three-dimensional fiber art. My work has been represented and sold across the country in over 100 museum stores and fine craft galleries. I now make & sell embroidery designs & kits for ilovefiberart, do occasional shows & teach.
