Figs on the Floor

I know I haven’t posted any pictures of Market since I’ve been back…and some of you have been waiting patiently for something, a little decoration, a little fig, a little something… Well, I have to make a confession… for the 3rd Market in a row I have brought my camera with me and yet failed to take a single picture! The camera just doesn’t even make it out of the hotel room. And every year, as I am in the middle of taking my booth down at a break neck…

Fresh Vintage Adventures

Okay, so I’m still cleaning up my studio. Although I do have to tell you that I’m almost done cleaning, the floor has slowly come into view.. I know you probably doubt me, but its true…. pictures coming soon. To celebrate my “cleanliness” I treated myself to a little flea marketing before an afternoon of fabric design and painting today We are lucky enough to have a wonderful Flea Market right here in our own backyard, the Alameda Naval Point Antiques & Collectibles Faire, which happens to be about 15 minutes from my…

I Don’t Know What My Story Is This Time

You know I promised to blog at least once a week when I started this venture!

Although maybe later tonite, I…

Not a Technical Genius

Okay.. I’ve finally conquered my technical difficulties!! My quilt pictures, which by the way I thought were uploading all the time, are now finally loading! If anyone else has this problem… I had to change shots that I had ready for print production in CMYK to RGB or change them specifically for the web???? Go figure? They were coming up on my MAC but not on my husbands PC? Could I tell you what that means…. no. But for those of you who have been emailing or asking me about why you can’t see…
