Apartment Therapy House Tours

A few days ago Mat Sanders of Apartment Therapy came by and shot my place from their House Tours.  I love to nest, I like design, and I want visually pleasing things around me so this was a very flattering experience.  I work from my space unless I am painting, then i go to my studio so when someone comes over, i hope my cabin fever doesn’t show to much. I made Mat and I lunch and by “made” i mean bought a quiche at the farmers market and made a salad. i was afraid he might not be into my dog Larry but he loved him and wanted him in some shots(I was stage mom trying to get Larry to look his best). Well, he informally interviewed me, took a ton of photos, and I filled out a funny questionnaire, enjoy that!  You can see it all in the link below. Thanks Apartment Therapy!

Simple Times – meeting Amy Sedaris

Last nite my friend Betsy and I went to Barnes & Noble where Amy Sedaris was signing her new Book Simple Times, Crafts for Poor People. Yep, that’s the title! She spoke beforehand, did some craft demo’s, and answered questions from the audience. Her new book is pure mental illness and involves a lot of googley eyes, pompoms, acorns, pantyhose,I think you get the idea. It is full of fantastic photo spreads, “Stretching Before Crafting” being one of my favorites! Well, After waiting on the line for hours and some security guard complaining to me the store was closing, I finally got to Amy.  I gave her a Stencil1 gift package – a tote bag with my Stencil 101 Stationery set and Stencil1 Journal. She said “I love stencils!!  This one’s actually a keeper!” She was so funny, cute and chatted with every person on that line. Thank you Amy! Hope you all enjoy the pics!
