I got so busy with other things, that I left this series hanging! A few weeks ago (months at this point), I opened my Instagram Stories up for questions and I’ve been answering most of those in blog posts. If you missed those posts and want to see them, you can find them here… Instagram Q & A Home Stuff Instagram … Read More
the creative’s s-word
S-t-u-c-k. The s-word dreaded by creatives all over the globe. And there is good reason for dreading it. You’re humming along, in a creative groove and then you come to a complete halt.

Lucketts has been such a huge part of my business since the beginning, but it’s now over 1,000 miles away.

rugs & quilts & other things dreams are made of
As my business has grown and hit milestones over the years, I’ve learned that things seem to come in waves. There will be a lull just before another swell. Right now is a swell. My first fabric line officially launched just a few weeks ago and in April we launched a new MMS Milk Paint color and I just got … Read More
