I’m back from Portland. No fabric was purchased….more about that another day. But for today, the following notice shall kick off my new feature, Fabric for the Home – Here’s the Deal! I’d say 80% off qualifies as a deal, wouldn’t you agree? Stay tuned. Periodically I’ll post information about home dec fabric sales I [...]

Portlandia, here I come!

I’m off to visit the great northwest for the first time. I’ve heard a lot about the city of Portland, Oregon ever since my youngest moved there last summer. Seems they have a lot of things I like there. Like this. Powell’s Books for Home and Garden. An entire store devoted to books about home [...]

Me two.

As time goes on, this fabric designing hobby has really begun to grow on me. I can create just about any little thing I can dream up. I can change background colors with the stroke of a key! You’d think I could actually draw or something although I’ll bet you thought those two fabrics above [...]

Prints, charming.

I have something to show you today. Check out those skirts, people! Flouncy! Now, I practically OD’d on chintz in the 80′s.

I am indebted to my Yoda, Laura Coyle. And pleased to say these are my new, spring-focused fabrics! I’ve [...]

We’re knee-deep in baseball playoff games here in Michigan. To alleviate my stress and prevent a sure heart attack while the score has been whittled down to a paltry one run difference between the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees, I thought I’d pop in for a quick second to show you some unbelievable [...]

Fabriconundrum.

An embroidered fabric I ran across. Interesting, isn’t it? In my Guest Picks submission for Houzz.com this month I had fun with fabrics. I can literally feel the wheels turning as I decide where this beautiful peony fabric by Victoria Larson Textiles should live in my home. So many fine fabrics. So few windows in [...]
