Have you guys seen these?
I was swooning in the aisle of my local Michaels. Deciding to purchase only one and not every single piece in the collection was painful. But, since I don't scrapbook...I decided one was enough (for today).
Run don't walk...
this stuff is super, no wait, UBER cute!
Until Next Time,
Tracy
Oh and the little brass spool charm rocks.
Mostly done leads to a contented lull in my efforts to achieve "completely done". Which translates to my studio still looking something like this...
(Here's the part where I start to sound like my kids)
But it's because I have been doing all this other stuff...like designing two new patterns for release & re-stitching an oldy but goody for possible updated release & stitching a freebie to give to my favorite floss company in the whole wide world (which ultimately means, in theory, you get to go download a free pattern in the not to distant future) and helping kidlets complete book report projects & "how to" presentations for school & managing baseball/softball dugouts for same kids teams...and the list goes on.
BUT...
The uber good news is that typepad has graciously decided to allow me to post pictures again. So, I will begin to post some with interesting little stories...at least I think they're interesting.
Until Next Time,
Tracy
Things I am Thankful for:
the opportunity I have to be my kids teacher
the fun I have managing dugouts
new designs & inspiration
(the wool display on day 2 of a show...after it's been picked at by several hundred women)
I L O V E wool...
I really, really, REALLY do. Really.
And every time I get ready for a show I have to remind myself that in order to be a business,
(and not a serial hoarder)
I have to sell a good portion of that
hand-dyed goodness...
Makes me wanna cry.
So now you know.
be back soon with pictures of a very clean studio.
Until Next Time,
Tracy
I am making progress.
The floor is clear of debris and vacummed.
And what's left is "neatly arranged" (aka piled) on my work table waiting for me to put it away.
Even if I don't get too much more done, I can actually work in here now and that is a good thing!
Be back soon.
Tracy
The studio has been a DISASTER with all the hustle & bustle of my top secret work. But now that I have met all the pending deadlines I need to do something about the mess before I can't even get in to work!
This is after several hours of sorting, tossing, and putting away...
Not totally done.
(not even close)
But I can see progress.
Hope to finish it up today and then I will post
pictures of a clean Plumcute studio.
Have a great Monday!
Tracy
I started "re-stitching" a design.
Decided it needed an update.
The other option was "retirement".
It will be done soon. (fingers crossed) and then I get to do my favorite part...find the perfect frame for it. Ok, so it's only my favorite part when it goes well but since I already have an idea for the frame I am thinking it will go well & thus be my favorite part.
Other goings on around the house of Plumcute are baseball and some deco "shuffling"...
My bestie helped me create that little wall of delightfulness yesterday and I uber love it. I have a few pictures to change out & some minor tweeking to do but otherwise it is finished & the best part is it's all deco recycle so it didn't cost me ANYTHING but time.
Would love to hear what you guys are up to!
Until Next Time,
Tracy
Things I am thankful for...
family time
bestie time
recycled decor
"re-stitching" instead of retiring
Lator Gators!
To get back into the swing of blogging things...
Not having much success.
It seems I am prone to stitching secretive things as of late. I even tend to favor starting projects I am not at liberty to share over the ones I can reveal.
Something is wrong with me. But then we knew that already. Didn't we?
As soon as I get some unclassified stitching going I will surely post pictures instead of "snippets".
Hope all is well with you!
Tracy
Top Secret:
It's what I have to finish before I can go back to posting pictures of what I am doing!
Hope you have a fantastic weekend!
Tracy
