I have a older lady classmate at the college that I have been attending. She just had a birthday and she is going in for surgery in a week so I decided to treat her to a California version of an English High Tea. I spotted a cute tea room in the city that we…

Welcome to my blog. It is a little of this and a little of that as I explore ideas and share my designs as I plunge headfirst into starting a small design business. I am an empty nester wife and mother. I stayed home with our son during his formative years.He is now at NYU and it is my turn to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I am an avid amateur nature photographer and surface designer. I like turning my photos into artwork and fabric designs. I sell my photos and graphic files on Adobe Stock and I have fabric for sale on Spoonflower.com.
A mother’s love
I am preparing to be parted from my boy for the first time in a long time. This will be the furthest he has been away from us. A different continent. We will be halving the distance because we are going to a US city that is five hours closer to his destination. It is…

and I am done!
I am so thrilled. I am finally done with my final digital painting project. I am so happy with the result. The vignette was of our own design. These items were things I had in my sewing supplies. It took me about 6 weeks to finish it just in time for the final presentation on…
and it goes on and on and on
This is the project that never wants to end. I have been painting this forever but I must say that it is coming along nicely. My professor helped me fix that issue with the paint on the buttons and La Mode logo but I biffed it and forgot to save it as a riff file…

Floundering
What a truly weird day. I actually walked two miles this morning before 8am. Crazy. I set off and headed back when it started raining . I almost got home and the clouds had passed over and this is what I saw so I kept on going. This was for the first time in weeks…
