Floral Hooked Pillow

This is a primitive hooked floral pillow by Pam Richardes at Indiana Rug and Textile Fabrication. It's the glimmer of Spring on the horizon for me since the weather is gloomy outside here in Mishawaka, and we are expecting another round of snow. After a thaw and rain storm last night, I'm so happy to see this reminder-- Spring is on the way. Thank you Pam!

Tango Tangerine Treasury List at Clear Frills

I fell in love with a Large Abstract TREE painting in mimistudio's Shop !

It's all about an organic subject but has a vibrancy of color that captures the excitement of investigating our natural world with a song.

Here's what she has to say about her work.

I am a watercolor artist who loves creating colorful modern wall art to decorate your home. Buy impressionistic & abstract watercolor paintings in many genres. Be sure to check out all my art galleries and shop sections to find the perfect modern artwork. Contemporary themes for sale include landscapes, animal art, and mixed media collages.

I am always happy to take on custom commissions for portrait and non-portrait subjects.

Even better than that, she does custom orders that you can review before shipping!

I wanted to share some finds on Indiana Rug and Textile Fabrication's online shop Clear Frills. I hope you find them as irresistable as myself! Check out our latest Treasury List.

Pebble Rug Gem

Today, I had a pleasant surprise come across the work floor in  a piece from Kane Carpet. It is a cut and loop piece with great potential as part of a custom area rug-- offering the pebble texture. It is seen here just as a bound finished piece and is admittedly striking as a stand alone rug should you be looking for a subtle rug with a  natural feel.  Remember simple custom bound rugs can be made to any size or shape.

This piece is from Kane's Exciting Journey's Collection in Expedition. It comes 13'2" wide if your considering something like this for your own project.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I found this great printable at mypapercrane.com . It was actually a post from last year, but I just loved it.
I was going to make just two, one for my niece and my daughter, but they we're too cute. I ended making one for my whole family.

The Studio Table Saga

So, I got a little carried away with a table project in my studio. Sometimes, I just get an idea in my head and then I'm obsessed or possessed. I'm not really sure how to look at it. I found this picture of a studio space table that would solve some space problems I've been having here on pinterest .

Unfortunately, my tirade started just as the next session of my surface design class was starting up.  And of course, it entailed reorganizing some other areas of my home studio.

I'll spare you the monotony of details, but woo hoooo! I've finished the project!
