well, I’ve had the links back in the right sidebar, but had to collapse down to HALF the list — and then, they were gone again!! Grrrr.  (if you want to find them– try clicking one of the tabs up above, like studio– they should display)  I’m working on it…  For my students reading this, [...]

For those of you who have been with me through the switch to the new site, you know I am NO computer whiz… with that said, be warned I’m trying to get the shop working properly *still* and some things here may go wonky — like everything in the right sidebar DISappearing [...]

23 May 2009 – afternoony
Since the shop is STILL malfunctioning, I’m taking this opportunity to re-do a few things. First, I’ve added a new page: the Shop Gallery  *link*
it will be an on-going project to spotlight some of the things that can be done with Fearless Stitcher patterns (and a good place to put [...]

So, I’ve added more bullion flowers, a ton of detached chain stitch, french knots, and pinned on the super secret dyed paper towel leaves (which are looking more and more like some exotic fabulous handmade paper *wink*)
which will get stitched down tonight

For the last 2 days, I’ve been diligently updating things — mostly in a panic of getting ready for the opening in July. So,
the Root system diary*link*
and the  Hardest Working Stitch Thread salad feature *link*
Meanwhile, I’ve gotta dig into a Hershey bar and write an artist statement!
I wish you stitch!

For the SWISH: SundayWednesdayInStudioHappenings this week, I’m all over the Root

I’ve moved her into the sitting room against the piano. I’ve also updated the root story in the gallery  *link*
I’m starting to think about display options — the frame is SO heavy that I don’t know if I can attach it to the gallery [...]

Realizing it’s been WAY too long since I’ve updated you on the Root, I decided to take a few pictures and show you the progress…  Above is a field of bullions (rust with burgundy pistil stitch tops)that will serve as a bit of forest floor decor along the lower left corner of the piece. In [...]

If my mom were alive, this is the exact sort of thing we’d exchange for mother’s day — a grand dame! (image captured from the aforementioned Boudoir Queen *link* — if ya haven’t visited, you’re missing out!) Happy Mother’s Day mom, wherever you are…

(just so this post isn’t without pictures — here’s my studiomate waiting very patiently for mommy to get the hell off the computer and go for walkies…
Ok, I shouldn’t be allowed to play on myspace… It’s no secret that I HATE facebook (it’s just not fun, or easy to use, or customizable…) but myspace is [...]
