Lots of new things are coming out of my studio. I am having so much fun hand-dyeing scrumptious velvet and vintage linen, stamping them, making ruffles out of them, creating romantic bags and...well, so much more! You can find them HERE. Working on lots more, as well.
Here's some photos.... ... Comment - Like

My great-grandmother lived in a tiny house in a beautiful, old neighborhood in Salisbury, Maryland that was filled with beautiful things she has made with her own hands. She worked for The Singer Sewing Machine Co. as a young woman and my mother has many stories of making Barbie doll dresses with he... Comment - Like

Want to take a peek inside my studio?
To be honest, this is just a corner of my studio and I've left loads of clutter/mess out of the photos but this is the pretty part and what the rest of the studio will look like soon!
I share an art table with my husband who does some small-scale modeling, so ... Comment - Like

Not sure how to go about it, but I have a couple things to share for those of you that stop by and "know" me a bit. You might have put two and two together but in case you haven't, I'm gonna give this a shot. Feels a little odd, but seems important, too. Have I scared you yet??? :)

And work at your pattern;
It will come out a rose by and by.
Life is like that –
One stitch at a time taken patiently
And the pattern will come out all right
Like the embroidery.

Today I have the house to myself. I exercised, showered and then headed to my newly-cleaned and organized studio, coffee in hand.
I picked up some handwork and then scanned Netflix for something that looked good to watch while stitching and my eyes fell on "Bright Star."

Where do “Art” and “Motherhood” intersect, or do they? Are they mutually exclusive? Does one enhance the other? Can they exist in one person’s life harmoniously?
For many of us artist-mothers, the place they intersect is guilt. Neither role – artist or mother – is ever enough in... Comment - Like

Found this PRECIOUS book at the public library. It's a Mother Goose "anthology" called Mother Goose Remembers by Clare Beaton, but all the pictures are done in handwork! Applique, hand-embroidery and amazing 3-D elements.
Here's just a few photos of some of my favorite parts of the book....
