Glass Jars

a quick picture of the studio slowly coming together.
I love having my tools out where I can see them.
[please overlook these granulated pictures, I'm hoping Sinterklaas puts a camera in my shoe this year. although I will greatly miss the delightful drop.]

NYC, UICA Markets, FABRIC!

I just fell in love...with a store.
purl soho to be exact.
I was in New York for the weekend and spent 90% of my time in one store, one store.
[and I was thoroughly content.]
who knew fabric could make me this happy...


picture is not that great, but here are some of the fabrics I bought.
really love the Kokka fabrics and linen (surprise, surprise).
oh the linen was so beautiful...
I could go on and on about this store.
it was a complete delight.


also, I am officially in the UICA holiday artist market!
super excited about that.
Come and check it out on December 3 and 4.
I'll keep you posted with information as it comes.
