Studio Updates (142)

So, I thought I would take some cute shots of the studio, as it’s starting to feel like home, I love being down here, love the windows, and all of the inspiration around me…enjoy this sneak peak…

An old ladder I found while antiquing throughout northern USA…I’ve been looking for one for so long and this one was perfect.

I also found a couple of quilts, log cabin that is truly used and I’m sure it’s missed as well as a lone star – both are around the 30’s and 40’s.

This pic is an adorable basket my Mum bought for me which is sitting in an old pear crate and it’s full of this new silk floss collection I’ve brought in from India. These silk flosses come in 116 colours, and are so gorgeous to handle and work with…beauties.

 

This shelf below, has had a few displays on it so far and this is the newest one with a family of antique irons from various shops…some cuddle up with a quilt books, inspiring signage…. I love this shelf

This picture of Tig was taken right before the Open House, she’s inspecting my presentation…Did I pass?

Until next time, please enter for this great giveaway, vote on our upcoming block of the month clubs and leave me a comment with your thoughts – would love to hear from you 🙂

Friday: Update I miss you :) (140)

So this summer has been full of holidays and I haven’t gotten much done lately around my studio and so my blog seems to be suffering. I’ve also been sick! Which I hate as it rarely happens to me because I tend to take pretty good care of myself but hey life happens and now I’m sick with a stupid head cold.

I’ve taken a tonne of pics lately of all of my goodies I been purchasing from the most adorable antique markets, malls and shoppes throughout our travels in norther USA and sunny and beautiful British Columbia.

I’m also starting to get the impression that many of you are also on holidays and like me, not following all of your favourite blogs as diligently as we normally would, is that right?

I hope to be back at it come September because I miss staying closely connected with all of your to-do’s and goings-on in the wonderful blogs I read…

So I hope to get back at it soon, get some goods pics out and start back to reading all about all of your YOU soon…

 HELP do any of you have a Stocking Pattern either paper pieced or pieced that you would be willing to share or send me a link to, I need one really badly for our September Guild Meeting….I was thinking more of the Elf style but open to suggestions 🙂
