Below is a little blog post I wrote in 2014 about the meaning of Christmas in my home. It was inspired by someone who commented on my bare Christmas tree. (Thankfully the quality of my photos have improved over the years.) Thank you for following my blog these past 2 years and thank you to all my supporters who came to one of my five Holiday Open Studio & Sample Sales. It was so much fun that I'll surely be doing it again next December.  Please enjoy the Facebook photo album HERE. I'll be taking another week or two off, as it's been really nice to relax and be with my family. Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas! See you in 2017, XO PG

This week's Texture Tuesday (no new post this Friday) is about my studio as I'm busy preparing for my Holiday Open Studio & Sample Sale and YOU are invited!  I'd love to see you, celebrate the holidays together, and show you where I create my artwork.

Texture and color are everywhere in my tiny South Austin studio. So much that I need to do a bit of culling. It seems you CAN have too much of a good thing. Especially when you're a collector, or in more primal terms, as some south Austin stitchers like to say, a "fabric junkie".

I confess. I have A LOT of stuff!!! (But I am not a hoarder, so don't judge) :-)
