At this moment I feel as though I’ve lived patterns for the last few weeks. But now– finally– they are ready to go to the printer! What a major relief. It’s still difficult for me to believe that the first-ever marie-madeline patterns will be debuting in the next month or so! That’s the grace of God, let me tell you. Three down and about, maybe, 20 to go?
My workspace in the studio is incredibly crowded… so crowded in fact, that I often have my stuff strewn all about the house on every available countertop and table. However, my brilliant Dad has finally come up with a plan. After eighteen years of sharing a bedroom with one of my sisters, I have a room of my own… complete with workspace. (In other words, this was a very logical and reasonable way to keep my things somewhat contained!) When I moved in the room was a blank canvas. Completely white and completely empty. I painted it the most gorgeous shade of pink last week…. now it glows every day when the sun comes peeping through my window. Pictures can’t really do it justice at all.
That’s the wall for my personal "studio". I have enough room for a six-foot table! I plan on having some shelves hung to accomodate my jars of piddle. Still haven’t found a good table, but we plan to go flea marketing one day this week. Flea markets yield the best furniture! Like this little blue chair that I picked up a couple of weeks ago in Oklahoma….
In my spare time I’ve been sewing up some new pillow shams, too. I am doing my room in Freshcut fabrics by Heather Bailey… that vintage-modern feel is wonderful!
Hopefully I’ll post some more updates soon!
