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) :-)
Modern angles and warm interiors were "de rigueur" for several modern homes in this 2nd post of a 3-part series on the Austin Modern Home Tour produced by Modern Architecture + Design Society.
It was another FANTASTIC Tour! I always find homes that inspire me - not to mention incredible architectural and design details - which make me want to run home fast to remodel. (HA!! As we know, that's not always possible, but the kitchens dying for a remodel!) Last week we talked about everything Mid-Century Modern HERE. This second post, of three (up next week is

2018 has been a jolt right out of the starting gate! Starting off the year we've got a lot of irons in the fire. To keep up with our studio's growth, we welcome our new student intern, Stephanie Munoz. While Stephanie's working on improving your experience with our

2017 was quite a year! In fact, I think it was one of my BEST year's ever, because I turned 60 and was determined to seize every moment of the year. You know, that number on my cake could easily be 50 or even 40, cause as the saying goes, you're only as old as you feel, and I feel like I'm just getting started.
My plans for my 6th decade are

Spring is my favorite month of the year and our Shumard Red Oak has almost all of its fresh green leaves on it! (I'm sorry for those still suffering through winter, but maybe this post will put a spring into your step!) I also love the month of April because it's my wedding anniversary and birthday, back to back, and this year I've been working on my garden to get it all ready for the special occasions. I love nature and it feels great to get back to gardening.

Are you sitting down? Okay, here's the news: This week's Texture Tuesday is going to be brief. I know that's hard to imagine, since my blog posts are basically short novellas, but I'm going to try for a few weeks to see if I can keep Texture Tuesday shorter.
