The last apple blossom on the tree at the studio. We had thousands of tiny apples in 2007. For 2008, Bubba and I have a bet: he says we won’t get apples this year, but I believe we will. Lotto tickets hang on the outcome. We’ll take progression pictures during the summer. I hope I win cause the apples were super tasty!

Shout outs: hello Lynn, new mentor of Thing and Thang the enchanted soul twins. I’m happy you 3 compliment each other so well. See examples of Lynn’s creativity on her blog including a beautiful spread in Cloth Paper Scissors Oct/Nov, 2007 issue, she has a gift for embellishing art quilts (I think of them as art quilts first, collage second).
Further hellos to the lovely Yoga lady who had much encouragement and support for our new endevour: the Life Coach with the words of encouragement and hope: and the Magnet Wall lady who inspired this slide show album of the studio tour:
and to QuiltingLizzy (posted on the quiltingshow.com) I would love to see what you’ve created with your new EYembellishment, and hopefully post it here. I hope to see you all in the future, sincerely michele. love
The girls are off to the show in Chicago so I’ll be guest posting for them while they are gone. The platter above is one of five they have taken with them to the Quilt show along with the embellishment cards, buttons and kits. See more of our ceramics at EYstudio.com
They will be in the Make it University section. For more information about the participants and venders in the Make it University section visit QuiltingArts.com

Another departure from the button cards, since they are getting packed up by the minute to go to Chicago. Your studio can be a table, kitchen counter, closet, garage, bathtub, tree house, lawn, basement, bed top. Wherever you create, treat yourself to one small creation, or 15 minutes devoted to a larger project. It is true: the more you create, the more creative you become. So give yourself that gift.

Our homes are our studio space, a restful place, a refuge. The temple to our love of fabric, paper, paint, pen and paper, food and drink, children, cats and dogs. Click on image to see the beginnings of the artist’s neighborhood.
