While I Was Sleeping…
So… At the risk of sounding like a complete lunatic, I’m going to share a secret with you…I solve a LOT of my design problems while I sleep!(among other things) OK- for those of you that did NOT hit the delete key, let me explain… Most of us at some point in our lives have…
Read MoreBias Tape with a Smooth, Flat Finish… It IS Possible!
I get a LOT of questions about bias tape. (It evidently cause more than a few, a BIG problem.)Folks always ask me how I put my bias tape on so that it’s flat and smooth.No rumples.. no bacon edges….and no gathers.And here’s the thing is, it’s easy as pie, but you know what? it’s one…
Read MoreOn Being a Grandmother
So… I doubt you could find anyone who has enjoyed being a mother more than I have, and that’s because, quite simply, my daughter is spectacular. I may not be much of a domestic diva. I’m a so-so cook, and my housekeeping at times has been legendary (and NOT in a good way), but I…

Read MoreStudioUpdate- Closet Space!
So… the carpet is down and I love the way it looks. Joba’s still a little on edge in the new studio as you can see, but we’re all getting more comfortable everyday. This weekend, we were cleared to start loading things into the closets. I had this secret fear that they wouldn’t be big…
Read MoreListmania
So… I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s really only two kinds of people in this world, and I do not mean male and female. I’m talking about about the listmakers and the non-listmakers. Chances are you know exactly which group you belong to, because there’s really no in-between about it. Me, I’m a full-on…
