hooray - hooray - my website is finally live...

hey there i'm sooooo happy my website is done! i've had some "motivational" experiences as of late and needed to kick it into gear and get the website done. i'm trying to get my act together to apply for a show that happens over the holiday season in milwaukee - cross your fingers for me everybody!
on some sad news my serger has been in the repair shop - hopefully to be completed by this saturday - i'm having withdrawals....BAD!
we're also trying to finish up loose ends to get our house ready for sale, and i've decided to return to school to try to finish up my degree...between this and regular family and work stuff i'm just about ready to burst. i hope i'll be able to keep some sort of balance...it might be tough.
i'll be sure to send out an e-mail when the i update the shop...hopefully mid-next week.

christmas in august...

well...i got a little present today from an unnamed person who has a job in the "garbage" industry. he brought me a big bunch of upholstery samples that an unnamed fabric store had thrown away - what fun - it's like christmas.

i couldn't begin to tell you all the amazing things he finds on a daily basis. it really makes me think about why there is soooooo much trash and how i can help just a little by creating something useful out of this "trash".

i'm going to try to get in some studio time in this week so keep your eyes peeled for newness.

p.s. the other day i hit the mother load of awesome industrial cast-offs at a thrift shop that sells the fabric scraps from an unnamed furniture maker in the area - funky totes coming soon!
