The boys' school has a really strong and active parent community. The Welcome Committee is constantly organizing trips for wine tasting, hiking, and area tours. This time Mark and I went on a tour of the Freitag bag factory in Zurich. I've seen these Freitag bags on the trams in Basel. Often I see about … Continue reading SFC Go to The Freitag Factory

Or thread. (This post is especially for my friends, Kate, Cate, Mary, and Debra) Right next to my food market is a little shopped called "Woll Street."   This is German for "Wool Street."  It is a Mecca for knitters, crocheters, and embroiderers.   It is jammed with yarns and threads and necessaries.   As inspired as … Continue reading Can’t Get Away from Fabric

Day one of the show is now over. It was so much fun! The Indy messenger bag was sold as was the Ellie Peekaboo bag.

I also … Continue reading Accessories Trunk Show 2013

O time! swift devourer of all created things!

December 4, 2013September 12, 2014 ~ mindyqs

The Seasons

November 23, 2013September 12, 2014 ~ mindyqs ~ 2 Comments

About 2 years ago a friend of mine came to me with a request. A commission for an actual piece of art. By me. I was flattered and eager.  I took a long time sketching and finally grid-designing 4 individual wall hanging representing the four seasons. Each piece is 32-inches wide by 60-inches tall. Each … Continue reading The Seasons

Meet Indy!

November 18, 2013September 12, 2014 ~ mindyqs ~ 1 Comment

Cutest Little Box Bag Evah!!

November 15, 2013September 12, 2014 ~ mindyqs ~ Leave a comment

I've been wanting to make one of these for years.  Ever since I got one from a student that I'd helped out at Berkeley. It's held all those small things that have a tendency to drop into that black hole that all bags have.  That original bag is long since gone and I cannot tell … Continue reading Cutest Little Box Bag Evah!!

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain

I want to be rich. Rich in love, rich in health, rich in laughter, rich in adventure and rich in knowledge. You?
