Revisiting




I was looking through some of my older art and I still love the pair above, I can't believe I did them back in 2009! I'm going to go back and revisit that style. Already made one so far, my husband isn't too keen on the color combo. What do you think?

New acrylic and paper paintings


Here a few small paintings i'm doing for an upcoming local show. It took me forever to get back into painting mode, I so got used to the undo button on my computer. I did the second one down months ago, If you haven't seen it already check out the time lapse video of me painting it.

Fun with toothpicks


Made a fun little sculpture for one of my new shelves. I was going to make it a bit bigger, but I lost interest since I didn't really have the right glue for the job. The unpainted tooth picks were rejects, ugly glue globs. I hope someone out there has fun making one, I want to see pictures!

My new children's fabric line with Moda


I'm thrilled to announce my new fabric line called Ten Little Things, which will be hitting the market this March.

I didn't really think of it until now, but I guess this is more of a boy friendly fabric. I'm not really a "pink" kind of gal, so I just never use it, well maybe peach, but no pink. Anyway, If you want to see more click here to see a PDF of all the designs that will be available. Happy quilting!

DIY Floating shelves, part 4



Hooray! They are up! I had so much fun decorating. I'm even thinking of doing a huge wall of these to replace my Ikea bookcases on the adjacent wall. Seeing this project done makes me want to do so much more! I want to make a storage bench/table to go under these shelves, and I'd love to have a really cool sconce to light up that corner... but I'll go into more detail on that later.

DIY Floating shelves, part 3

Priming and painting done! Wall brackets are screwed into the concrete wall, the shelves can now slide on and be secured with a few small screws on top. Now after days of waiting I can finally decorate this sucker!!

DIY Floating shelves, part 2



A lot of work goes into making these shelves, even they look soo simple from far away, like one solid piece. These shelves are actually kind of complicated and time consuming, but the end result will be worth it.

Progress: Most of the pieces have been cut and the inside structure has already been assembled with wood glue and brads (nails from a nail gun). The top and bottom piece is on, now it's time for loads of sanding.
