We had a visit by an editor and photographer from California Home + Design Magazine at our shop recently. The coverage is due out in the May issue. I had so many projects to finish in time for the visit...embroidered wall art, settee cover, pillows, damask drapery panels, and a lighting fixture, just to name a few!

The photo session was a bit rough on me as I was fighting off a migraine, but the photographer, Jennifer, couldn't have been more sweet and understanding.

Below is a vignette in the shop that includes my embroidery art, an Eastlake settee that I covered in burlap with one of my block print pillows on it, and a pair of silver metallic plaster lamps that came out of the famous Monte Carlo Hotel in Las Vegas:
I would love to have a studio where I can work on all of my projects...large scale textile embroideries and block prints, sculptural lighting, furniture fancies, etc. Must make that happen. It's what feeds me.
