Happiest of Mondays!

Hi All-
I am writing this from somewhere on the Atlantic --
can you see me waving!!!!

This will be a quick note, for I am paying by the minute to post, and the systems here are not allowing for things like picture posting, YET.

Workshops started today, and I got to teach one of my favorites - Color Cruisin...

I know, I know... it's texture month, and I can hardly wait for a few free minutes to go wander to start snapping pictures of the amazing textures on board -- and then there will be the islands...WOO HOO!

Hope your week has been kickstarted with fun...
now I'm off to dinner!

Looking Forward

Well, happily we all made it through the predictions of ending of the world...
and on a more personal note,
I made it through the remodeling of kitchen.

Back in August when we found our new house in Kentucky I knew the kitchen had to have some changes made....ASAP! The 1960's kitchen had some big, fun pluses but the oven was just not gonna work, and the idea of cooking on the electric cooktop - that was the majority of counter space overall... well...I hope you can see my concerns.

Luckily, within just a couple of days of moving here I was introduced to Ron Rock --- (keep telling him he needs a web presence). Another transplant to KY from CA, a finish carpenter, and an even better NICE person. When all the wheels of ordering the appliances and materials were in the works, he promised that my before Christmas kitchen would be done.

True to his word, the truly final touches were completed in time for a big batch of cookies to be whipped up for Santa's arrival. The pictures will show just how wonderful it all looks.

Now, with the kitchen 'all together' my mind has turned back to other goals, and I have been busy working on some really fun projects to be part of a month of
Basic-Art-Element Training Month -Line
scheduled to begin with the turning of the calendar to 2013.

There will be quilty and non-quilty sharing.
Follow now-you'll not want to miss anything!

Join the fun...
Artify your life...
&Quiltify your world!

Booking It!

Well, the new book finally came out -- that is it now officially available!
I came home earlier this week to find boxes of books waiting on the doorstep.

After snapping a picture I lugged them into the house and the fun of signing,
packaging and shipping of all the pre-orders began.

Happily they are now all making their way into many hands all over the country.

Thank you to everyone that pre-ordered the book and I hope you enjoy the pattern,  too!

Now it's time for fun!

Happy Sunday all --

check back this week and see what might be in the final box to be unpacked in my new Paducah home.
