Tula Pink

Just to clarify… THIS IS NOT MY TATTOO… Just a few lovely ladies out in the world who liked my owl and decided o make it a part of their lives forever and ever and ever and ever.

Okay, let’s discuss commitment. Personally, I have commitment issues, just ask anyone I have ever dated (no wait, don’t). I don’t know that I even have words for this. Who says that this whole crafty thing isn’t tough? This looks pretty rockin’ to me. Full Moon Forest has been immortalized in ink. I couldn’t be prouder. Can you even stand how amazing this is? Is that a tear of pride? Yes, I believe it is.

I can just picture Corrine and Kathy bouncing their grand children on their knees telling them inappropriate stories of their wild youth. I like it. It’s the kind of grandmother I always imagined myself being. I told my mom that if she really loved me she would get a tattoo of my fabric across her back. She just glared at me and then her Christmas present got a lot smaller, like magic!

My 5 new Plume patterns have arrived. They are all glossy and shiny and beautiful. You should make them. The middle one, Le Petite Salon was my show quilt for Quilt Market. Everyone said they loved it, not like they would tell me if they didn’t but still, a compliment is a compliment and I am in no position to refuse one. Plume, arrives in stores in January. The patterns are already available in my mom’s shop and have been flying out the door. I am sure that the rate they are selling has absolutely nothing to do with me standing next to them frantically waving my arms in their direction. No, that’s just a coincidence.

This is what I do when I’m sick. In real life I sew everyday, it’s kind of my job. So when I’m sick and stuck in bed for what feels like years I get bored. When I can’t get to my machine I do what any sewaholic would do, I make miniature dresses followed, naturally, by the making of miniture hangers. If anyone has time to make me a miniature closet that would be great. I am running out of places to stick these things.

Anywhoo, I am feeling much better. Thanks for all of your comments and emails. I was down for a few weeks but somehow that managed to put me a few months behind in my work. How does that happen exactly? Just another mystery of the universe I guess, like turkey bacon or that place in the Redwoods where the ball rolls up the hill.
