Do Whatever it Takes - An Inspirational Story

I read this story on MSN this morning and it reminded me so much of my life and my sometimes rocky road to where I am today. Along the way I just did whatever it took to succeed at what I was working on. This is something I have tried hard to impart to my children, that there are no excuses, no others to blame, just you and your success or failure. Be accountable for your life and you will achieve success. Read the article here.

Still More Pillows !!!!!



Am I driving you crazy with these pillows? Sorry - I have pillows on the brain.





This is a set of four different designs each in a vibrant full color. They will be printed on a gorgeous washed linen-cotton blend ground cloth. I can't wait to show you the real thing!




These fun pillows show my Zebra Stripes pattern, that will be available as yardage, used as the background with a floral embellishment complete with some lovely butterflies.

These will be printed on a rich cotton canvas that adds a great rustic texture to the design.

I hope to have some photos soon of the real deal but I am still waiting for test prints. As soon as they arrive I will post some snaps.

Are You Passionate about Peacocks?



I'm working on a series of illustrations for decorative throw pillows that will be offered with my fabric line. I've always been fond of peacocks so I decided to explore how they would look on a pillow front. Are you a fan of peacocks or do you think they've been overdone?




I think I'm still loving them. Picture these two colorful beauties on natural linen ground cloth covers overstuffed with feather down inserts. Hummmm...............

Have a great weekend.
