design crush: the giveaway
Remember how I praised architect/interior designer David Easton last week? Remember how his design philosophy sang to my heart? Remember how I said I couldn't wait to lay my hands on his book, Timeless Elegance? Well, if you needed further proof to what I wrote there, here it is: Mr. Easton ...
Hi! i was just catching up on your blog and saw your dog and pup pictures. I too to tortured my border collie by bringing a small maltese puppy into our ranks...it has been an adjustment to say the least! The puppy cruises around the old dogs backs like a toddler would use a coffee table! Too funny! glad I am not the only one!

A book review, a give away, a sale... (oh, and puppies!)
Yay! I received another book from those nice folks at F & W Media! It's Made at Home by Lisa Stickley and I was oohing and aahing the whole way through it. Honestly I'd never heard of Lisa Stickley so I went to her website and wow, I'm her newest fan. If you want fresh and hip then this boo...

I love pjs (seriously LOVE)....
My daughter takes after me...no doubt about it. She is really a mini me in so many ways but perhaps the most important way we are alike (seriously, it’s not the most important way but humor me ok?) is our love of pjs. I mean OUR LOVE OF PJS. We could live in them...we don’t (although my husband ...
See, only a sister would comment on my hair! I love you Seashell!

Home! Still Wired!
Ok, I have not had the crash yet from my 4 days of travel to The Creative Connection Event and as I download pictures I cannot decide what to show you first! The things I made...the people that I met...?! I will be honest when I signed up for this event a couple of months ago, all I ...
oh, the angst over blogging! My husband is a marketing guru and he tells me to blog with a purpose. Pleeze! I am a woman and I have about 100 different purposes! My original intent was to showcase more of my illustrations without having to change my website. That was YEARS ago. Now I blog about 3 times a week about what turns me on, what caught me eye and occasionally I will show my art. My 'purpose' changed because now I am a full time illustrator (who can't showcase work until it is published) and before I was scrambling to get work. I sometimes beat myself up because I have been blogging long enough that I "should" have a good following by now, ha! But...I have changed, my audience has changed. So I guess my blogging 'purpose' is to make myself happy:) Novel idea.

quiet no more
Somewhere between the freezer aisle at Whole Foods {where I couldn't stop tweeting} and today, a whole surge of things I want to talk to you about have popped into my mind. You see here a couple of things I've been experimenting with. Well wait ~ first let me preface this post with this: Wh...

Beach Wedding
Getting back in the groove today, following up Surtex leads. But I have to show beach and wedding pictures. My girlfriends Holly (a real photographer) and Joann, a click happy shutterbug promised to send my photos of the ceremony...but alas no one is on the same blogging schedule I am,...

Samples!
Yeah! I love samples! It is so great to see my art onto products. These samples arrived in huge box and it was so fun to open it up. These are from Design Design. The products include tissue paper, 2 sizes of plates, 3 sizes of napkins, 2 sizes of bags, wrapping paper and even little sniffs f...

I completely agree about the quilting fabric not being good for clothing. I am old (hmmm, older) and my mother and I sewed all my clothing. You simply cannot find fabric easily for clothing anymore. You should do a clothing book! Maybe these companies will start selling cotton in different weights!

Liberty blouse
This blouse was made out of a Liberty print I had saved for almost 2 years, much like the Nani Iro fabric. I had originally intended it for Sadie (sorry, honey) and then thought about how cute it would be made into tap pants for myself, and then thought about maybe making it into a belt (I th...

savoring summer
Here we are on the latter half of August in a summer that's been, well, unlike any I can remember here in New England. It's been a strange season. But for all the rain, and the very small crops (these might be some of our only tomatoes - late blight is everywhere), there are indeed some. Some ...

Handmade Home: Projects, Giveaway, and More!
A few weeks ago I opened a special package in this very room. I knew it would be coming, an early copy of Amanda Soule's new book Handmade Home: Simple Ways to Repurpose Old Materials into New Family Treasures, but it's arrival still felt terribly exciting. I settled in with Emily, right on t...

Feeling quasi-human again
Okay, so I thought I was in a "semi-funk" when it turns out I was actually sick. What I thought was a case of the "blahs" was actually a sinus infection creeping up on me. It irritates me that instead of taking care of myself I just assumed I was lazy and was kicking myself for it. Anyway, I wen...

Hello first day of Spring!! It's about time you got here! I have been waiting for far too long and now I can finally breathe. I think I am in dire need of some spring cleaning around here and just to illustrate my point I cleaned up an old image I did years ago to this one.. Here is the old one...
