I have fallen in love with these fabulous designer pieces at La Redoute catalog! The Falbala Trench is a gorgeous Fall coat! I would wear this every day, picking up my daughter from school, shopping at Walmart, ah well only in my fantasy!

My second favorite Christian Lacroix piece is the Sevillane Dress, also a fairytale come true!

This Texas gal had a very exciting week! My artwork came out in print and it was a fabulous way to start off this fall!

Check out the newsstand for the very first Sew Somerset book by Stampington and Co! It is a 144 page eclectic mix of textile artwork and crafts, and a mini quilt by your’s truly. This is the very first mini quilt I have ever made, so I was really blown away to have my Secret Garden quilt published! I hope you can check it out.

Also, we were really excited to open the mail this week and there in the pages of Somerset Memories Fall 2007 was my little girl all “Dolled” up! My memory album page, The Art of Making Paperdolls, was created out of a whim one day while making paperdolls and what do you know, they look great in memory albums! My “Doll” was thrilled to be in a magazine (and I think she was born to be in one, but I’m just her mom)!

What do you know, we are finally up and out in the open! It feels great to have a place to share my artwork and collections with you guys! I hope you check back often as you never know what goodies I’m going to post next or what the next pink dilla sighting will be!
