Progress

We contracted a local company to repaint the parlor.

You may remember it looked like this.....

And now it looks like this.....

I'm utilizing the Cottage Collection by Behr for my color palette. The parlor paint is "Candlewick" with "Garden Rose White" as the trim color. Quite different from our old house which demanded bright clear colors; this house, with it's old Queen Anne styling, needs a softer touch.

You can find the color palette here.

New Digs, New Life

So the big move has been made - we are official Massachusetts residents.

Our historic house in Hyannis is a gracious Queen Anne in a complete state of disrepair. It will take us years to put it right.

Disrepair.....

And when I say disrepair....I mean it.

Thank heavens THAT'S gone.

We celebrated out first Halloween and now will have Thanksgiving as well. Next summer we hope to have a houseful of guests who love the beach.

Big Move

We are now located on Cape Cod, specifically Hyannis. Woo hoo! As the studio gets set up, I'll update.

Heart in my Hand

I am having a lot of fun with my Zooiis XL heart press. I just LOVE the way these turnout. And I get a compliment every time I wear one.

Spring Weather = Bees

Well it's FINALLY getting to be Spring like here in the metro NYC area and I'm sure I heard a collective sigh of relief. Although we may still have a last gasp of cold, it looks like winter is over. Yah!

I've been making some bee beads to celebrate and have been trying designs for a honeycomb bead to make a set. Here's a first attempt.
