Happy New Year! I hope you and your family and friends had a lovely holiday. I don't know about you, but I'm NOT one of these people who bolt out of the gate come Monday, January 2nd, with all my goals and plans set for 2017. No, no...I'm one who always wishes for TWO weeks between Christmas and New Years because I need more time.
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) :-)
Happy Texture Tuesday! I'm super pumped up because I just got off an AMAZING Instagram webinar that got me INCREDIBLY inspired!! Which is exactly what I needed this week. And you probably need a boost too, since you might have eaten a bunch of Halloween candy last night, right?
Hello all. It’s kind of a cloudy day here today in Austin, Texas, but it was anything but that in New York City during #BlogTourNYC. In fact, we only had one night of rain, and it would be the one night I’m trying to catch a cab out to Brooklyn to hear my son play in his band. Just FYI, there are no cabs in NYC in the rain!!
But on our first full day of BlogTour, after a chilly but lovely morning with Tess Casey floral design, then a delicious Italian lunch and DXV showroom (and this was only 1/2 way through the first day!) we were treated to the next 6 hours, from 3:00 – 9:00 p.m. to the modern showroom of one of our top sponsors, Miele, food photography, and the most spectacular gourmet meal in the world!
