New Rusted Fabric

After moving, I know the process is the same but I had to get comfortable in my new rust dyeing area.  All seems well, Here are a couple of new pieces.

This newspaper print fabric is one of my favorite things to rust, it gives you a wonderful vintage look.

Yeah Tennessee

We made it, I actually have my studio unpacked and am sitting in it typing on my Blog.  My room is small but I am going to take some time and share it with you. I think I used my space wisely. 

I have a full size cutting table, a 5 foot sewing table and a 5ft big board for ironing.  4 book cases for fabric and a book shelf.  Oh Yeah, also my TV. 

Happy to be in My New Home

Moving On

I have been so busy, I have been a terrible blogger.  Hoping for a simpler Life we will be loading a moving truck this week and moving to the Knoxville Tn area.  A small town called Luttrell just 15minutes NE of Knoxville.  I am very excited to be able to concentrate on shows all around the area and on to the East Coast.
