Costume Weekend

Firstly, thanks for all the good wishes for my trip - it went great and I am back home safe. Just before I left, I had been getting requests from the kids for costumes, and I wasn't able to get them done. So the day I came back we went fabric shopping. Here's Anya's mermaid tail, she wanted a tail that she could put her feet into, but I wanted her to be able to hold the tail behind her so that she could walk properly. We ended up doing both with the slits that I left in the sides of the tail. It was really easy to make - took about half an hour and she loves it! And of course she loved posing for pics - check out her backdrop!! Sid's costume next...

Going to NY

I am going to be in New York for the next 3 days for a trade show. I love using vintage props in our displays, it gives it such a unique look. Here I am using a metal toolbox in a fantastic shade of tomato red to hold our catalogs and sketchbooks. Wish me luck!

The best pattern maker of them all

... is nature. Wish I could have told you I found these on our beaches, but I only get so lucky at thrift shops!

Seedlings

One of our wonderful retailers in Tampa has an Annual Baby Shower event - we did this installation last year. This year I will be there showing our Art Cards and Wall Graphics and a few other items. Hope to meet all you Tampa moms there tomorrow!

Excitement

This evening is my son's Spring Concert at our local theater. He has had his outfit ready for a week. So cute!
