It has been over a month since i blogged last - and I am barely able to make it to any one elses blog for even a comment or two. I haven't been working away feverishly in my studio, but i have been donating my time and creativity to a worthy cause. First I took the month of September (which spilled into and continued thru October) DE-cluttering my house. My husband had begged me to find a

i (finally) finished a series of 9 pieces to be hung in my friends babies room. They have a new baby named Otto - and i was so pleased to have found a vintage dr. suess book - "a fish out of water" - where the fishes name is Otto. it was perfect for the occassion. I packaged them up and sent them off to go live in LA. with becky.brian & otto. I hope they love them.

how lazy am i - i have had 9 pieces sitting in a stack waiting to be hung in my living room for almost A YEAR! dreading making 9 perfect measurements to make them hang perfect. and all for nothing. I actually just used push pins because the pieces arent heavy - and then my holes were a lot smaller if i needed to tweak them one side to another. It only took about a half an hour.... and i LOVE

We racked our brain thinking of something we could MAKE for our dear friends baby that was born the beginning of August. Finally we decided to make a series of custom Tshirts. Mia and Ryan drew some pictures for baby Otto shirts. and then we all printed them. I think they turned out really cute.

I might not be having the most productive & creative summer - but my daughter is. I came across the coolest camp of the summer - - - or i should say - - the coolest camp IN DENVER (for girls...and boys who dig sewing crafts!) We were off to a rocky start....when she heard none of her friends could go with her, she was in tears and dragging her feet to HAVE to go... but when i came to pick her

The Summer Art Market this year was anything but DULL!Friday afternoon the skies were dark and ominous. The clouds seemed to be hanging out to the north, but the entire time we were setting up we were surrounded by lightening. It put us all a bit on edge. At least the rain stayed away while we were working outside. Saturday morning was beautiful. No clouds, not too hot and we were BUSY. We

I have many new things to show and share this year. First is the new size - a lovely long 5x10" and they sell for $100. The houses for me have always represented a place and relationship. my place in the world...and the relationships i have, where i have landed, where I want to go - to visit or to live. The people (friends and family) in my life and where they are in relationship to me. My

NOT YET! - i will sleep June 15th. The SUMMER ART MARKET IS COMING UP QUICK! and it is my only show for the summer.. HOORAY! I usually like to do a few shows a year, but after last year i was exhausted and drained. I decided to work more on my online sales and less on shows and travels to the shows. So this year - one show - one week from now. THEN my summer can start! off to work....

just when i want to sell it all and move far far away and simplify my life.. i walk into my studio and i am reminded of the core of my being. i am a packrat.... collector.... (horder?)..... and it would be very very hard for me to condense. ill think about that later. Im off to go buy more ink.

Yes... i love mixing new colors and having it all done and ready. As soon as I got my desk ready to print... i had a visitor. She thinks that its HER desk and those "cubbies" are hers as well. I was in HER way. But i did enjoy the company!

Ryan (my youngest) tagged me with her infamous style of drawing and signature. I left it on my hand for as long as i could and considered what a nice tattoo it would make. (alright - slightly large and on my left hand.. but i still love it and wore it well and long)

I have been printing day and night and have just caught up with round number one of Tshirt orders. I think they are super cute! I have had some help along the way (as you will see) Tootie helped, John helped for one night, Tootie helped (moral support) and then Cheeto supervised and she also guarded the shirts when they were done printing. If you would like a Tshirt and have not already

We decided to make posters and tshirts to raise money for Tooties surgery fund. Tootie is our 4 year old Boston Terrier who has developed cataracts in both eyes. We have been referred to a specialist in time to regain her sight (with pricey surgery) Given her age - we have to give her a chance to be able to see again. Right now she is "legally blind" so she cant drive a car or watch TV. (that
