Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint turns 7
On April 27, 2012, I announced to the world (well, to my blog readers), that I would be launching my very own line of milk paint. That makes this Saturday, April 27, 2019, the official 7th birthday of the Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint line! And we’re celebrating with a walk down memory lane and […]
designing fabric & papers for spoonflower
A few weeks ago, I shared that my second quilting fabric collection with FreeSpirit Fabrics wasn’t going to be produced. (You can find that post HERE.) Thanks for all of your encouragement on that, by the way! The brief feeling of failure that comes with any news like that quickly shifted into excitement. This means […]
straightening the studio closet doors
As I shared a couple of weeks ago, we got the first set of doors for the studio closet built and installed, but unfortunately, they were a little warped! Ah!

farmhouse white dresser makeover
While at Junk Bonanza, we decided it would be fun to shop for a piece, paint and finish it in Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint products, and then offer it up as a giveaway. We did it last year and it went so well that it was worth an encore. So, Wednesday evening, after our […]
monogrammed smock
A little over two years ago, I borrowed a smock while teaching a workshop at Me & Mrs. Jones in Memphis, TN. The smock was heavily used and smeared with paint, but there was a crisp new linen one tagged for sale on a hanger nearby. I fell so in love with my borrowed smock […]
