Today the fedex man delivered me a great surprise, an advance copy of my new book Stencil 101 Decor! Chronicle Books deserves a packaging design award for this one! You just have to see it! The new decor book comes with 10 precut stencils designed to repeat. You can create a great wallpaper effect using just one stencil! This book is scheduled to reach shelves November 1. You can pre-order it today. Hope you like it!


I’ve posted earlier how Erica Domesek of P.S. – I Made This totally hooked it up by asking me to cut some of my stencil designs for the Sharpie DIY Fashion booth inside the tents at Fashion Week. Well, I went to the booth today to help out and stencil some stuff. I met the Sharpie people and a ton of fashionistas plowing into the booth to give it a go! Betsy Johnson provided a t-shirt that people also could stencil on. Check out all the pictures!



If you are in the Bay Area, tune into View from the Bay at 3pm today on Channel 7 ABC News. I was honored to tape a segment with energetic host Lisa Quinn in her stunning home. I  showed Lisa how to make t-shirts and more using the stencils from our book.  Not in the Bay area? Well, they also stream the show live on their website here.  Hope you like it!

Country Living September 2009
Country Living September 2009 Featuring Stencil1 page 110

The NEW September issue of Country Living is a must-have and not just because it features Stencil1(page 110!). This issue shows so many affordable makeovers done in such a modern yet country eclectic way, I was honored to be a part of it. The magazine features our ever-popular birch tree stencil done tastefully on a simple white canvas pillow. I do have to add, you will want to use our non-aerosol fabric paints, the Stencil1 Sprayers, and these can be sprayed on or just open the bottle for more control with a foam brush or stencil bristle brush. Well, go check it out on news stands, it is a packed issue!


The first design blog I ever heard of and followed would definitely be Design Sponge so when they asked to feature my home in Sneak Peek, I was so honored!

My dog Larry made the cut too!
