I had five months of time on my hands…and during the warmest of the year…did I travel, no…well at the very end, but I was only there for 14 hours…did I catch up on all the stuff I never have time for…like paint and read excessively and relaxing…not really. I spent most of the time freaking out that I had too much time on my hands. I wish I was the type of gal who could take long walks without the need to go as fast as I can…or lie on the beach, in a bathing suit or tench and just be still…

…or even be in my house without working and not feel really guilty about it. I can’t seem to stand still unless its to stop and think about what I should be doing, but forgot because I am doing 18 things at once. Ah, to be able to just stop…that would be nice…but then I guess that I would no longer be me…

I have moved the Open Studio’s to Thursday afternoons/evenings and this week is the first one, yay! If you’re in the area, please come on by and hang out for bit…
I know the New York Fashion Week anded so long ago, but I was really into it this year and enjoyed going through each collection ever so much. So today is the last day I will blather on about it, I promise…but it will be in two posts.
I had to share these two Badgley Mischka images as I loved the use of fabric in both of these…my obsession with lightweight beautiful textiles continues…and the feathers, oh the feathers!


I am loving the long, long necklaces right now, I think they are a great fresh way to play with jewelry, and I even added two to ManicTrout.com the other day!

The Logan Everythings Magic Necklace measures 32.5 inches and features a sentimental heart locket hanging from a this brass chain which is adorned with amethyst swarovski crystals and is $50.

The Tekoa Just Like Magic Necklace is 32″, made of beautiful vintage brass chain and is ornamented with three leafy charms and amethyst and lavender glass.
I don’t think I’ve admired a piece of clothing with legs in ages…how odd…anyway, no idea where I found this image from, but I love it and thought I would share…

p.s. don’t forget to check out the amazing new goodies at ManicTrout.com!

I am not supporting smoking…I do not smoke, but you have admit that this is still a pretty good looking photo…
Yes, I did it!!!! There are 11 new necklaces on ManicTrout.com including the Scarf Necklaces, Ms. Trout and 2 super long beauties…oh yes, happy dance time!
So I was playing around online instead of making jewelry or working last night, and I designed some shoes! I have been told more then once to that it would be cool to incorporate my paintings into jewelry, and I am working on that…but until then you can own my paintings on your shoes!
Pleasure of My Company
I think Keds is trying to catch up on the DIY movement, and although I am a die hard, old school Vans fan…they won’t let me put my painting on them…so I may switch over.
Complexities of Intimacy
If you go check them, please give them a nice rating as I’m curious to see what happens if the word spreads…
