My Sister, The Designer

Did you really think I was the only talented one in the family? Think again, so is my sister and, my niece but let's talk about my sister.

She lives in Switzerland, drove to Luxembourg for Christmas to visit with family. In between the fun, three bridesmaids dresses were commissioned. She takes their measurements, drives back to Switzerland and makes the dresses. They were mailed back two weeks ago and to my sister's amazement, they fit to precision with only minor alterations were needed. Mind you, no fitting was ever done. Fast forward past weekend, there they were, smiling and looking gorgeous at their friend's wedding. Moi?! I am one proud sister. In case you wonder where we learned the skill from, our mother.
 

Coming Soon To a Theater Near You

I am sitting here racking my brain up, torturing myself to the max, going around the circles with my tails between my legs, searching for a solution to no avail. Call me crazy!

The thing is I have been commissioned to create a new hand painted bag. The client is not looking for a specific design or color but a bag, nothing less, nothing more.

The fact of the matter is that my creative juices have been down in the pits lately. The more I beat myself up, the more I seem to hit a hole in the ground. It is just not there, the inspiration button seems to have been turned off temporarily.

It has been that pitiful but then, suddenly, without a care in the world, a light bulb went on in my head. It donned on me that I did not have to go very far. I mean, I have been creating these fabrics for years, unruly painting like a factory assembly line and storing them in the closet somewhere, waiting for the angels to come down from heaven.

They were intended to adorn your beautiful home in the form of decorative pillows, which I did with a few, click here but flashback a few years, when the owner is out, the cats will come out to play. So,  playing we are, playing we will. Stay tuned for a few interesting things coming soon to a theater near you.
