Yippee! Time to look at mood boards! This is the first of several entries that I’ve selected as a finalist for the decor8 & Amy Butler Contest. I’ve decided to extend the deadline to Monday, June 11th to give everyone a chance to enter since Memorial Day weekend was hectic and many of you wrote [...]
So, I’m blogging about Creating a Craft Room and noticed that Country Living used the talent of Keith Scott Morton, whom I’d never heard of until now.
I am forever amazed by the internet for this very reason – instant gratification for nosey —>me
I love to read blogs, but wow, with so many, I’m finding myself a bit lost at sea sometimes. Take today for instance. I stumbled upon a blog I’d never read before called One Good Bumblebee. I know the name from attending craft fairs, but had no clue Miss Bumblebee was a fellow blogger. After [...]
I’m back from vacation feeling refreshed and ready to go, go, go! I thought I’d make a comeback by sharing an inspiring chat I had recently with talented Florida-based artist and decor8 blog of the week, Claudine Hellmuth.

I’m still on vacation, but I had to drop in and say hello and blog some exciting news of course… Designer’s Guild of London now has an online store for the US. Yup. I told you, this is huge for Tricia Guild fans in the states. Just look at these patterns and colors – hot, [...]
It’s time to totally unplug and take a vacation! I’ll be on the road, so I’m signing off for a few days. I’ll be back on Thursday, May 31st to share with you all the contest submissions (hint, hint) that I’m hoping you’ll send in between now and then (nudge, nudge). :) Enjoy the big [...]

I was quite excited to see decor8 mentioned in the June issue of Elle Decor magazine as a blog that the Margaret Russell, Editor in Chief, considers one of her favorites. Pinch me!
On the editor’s page, she talks about her personal experience as she blogged during Top Design on the Bravo website and then [...]
I’ve been blogging a lot about artists lately. I think I could devote an entire blog to it and never run out. My current obsession has to do with my own need to start painting again, not to sell but as a hobby. It’s also fueled by my friendship with Marisa of Creative Thursday. I [...]
You absolutely must read Anna Torborg’s new book, The Crafter’s Companion: Tips, Tales and Patterns from a Community of Creative Minds. Let me tell you why.
I discovered the book, not via a blog or surfin’ the net as you’d expect, but the old-fashioned way. At a bookstore. As I navigated my way towards art/design (where [...]
If you’re a Steven Harrington like me, you’ll be happy to know that his new online store, You & I, just launched. I’m still hoping he’ll do a limited run of his peacock print, but until then, here’s some great options. I have the Un Royaume print (top right) and love it, the colors are [...]
