A Day in the Life: Refresh

Mitten!!


A new year, and I time to reflect and refresh our daily routines. I am ready to start more fabric ventures. Winter seems to be a time for ribbons, fiber, yarn, fabric and beads for me.

I am trying something new (of course, aren’t I always??) and will experiment with fabric jewelry. Stay tuned:)
Something very exciting for me is my fabric line which i will be listing on Etsy. I have made fabric out of several of my paintings!

New Fabric


From my “Smiling Faces” watercolor.

More Fabric!


From a small floral watercolor done this past summer.
So exciting! This fabric comes in silk, cotton jersey(so yummy and comfy feeling!) and quilting cotton.

Remember to check out my Etsy shop!

List fun tomorrow!!

It is the New Year!!


Whew, can you believe it, 2011??? Sounds so futuristic!! We are in a brand new year and have a chance to start anew!! So, in celebration of that opportunity, I am initiating a fresh schedule for my blogging week! I will no longer be posting recipes on Mondays. Why? Because my son, JJ and I are in the midst of compiling our vegetarian cookbook!! We are testing the recipes now and will keep you abreast of the progress.
