Tangly Bangly Mess

I've been absent from the blogging world for way too long, and its time to step back in. I'll start by sharing some of what I've been up to. I moved into a treehouse! The elf and gnome share a small bedroom and love love love their bunkbed. Mama's futon on the floor is their "stage" for ballet performances and the building site of what they like to call the Tangly Bangly Mess which consists of piling all the blankets in the house, their big box of fabric, and any other soft thing lying around. Then they hide each other. My requirement is that they leave an air hole...ahh, the freeplay of childhood. My bed is in the main room (it can be folded into a bohemian couch during the day) , and the bedroom is my studio. You can see where my priorities are.

I've been busy in the studio lately, with four commissions and lots of sewing. Today, I am sewing eye pillows and soft props for a yoga studio. When I'm done, I envision my own sort of Tangly Bangly Mess, falling into a heap of pillows and floppy bolsters. I am working on Art for the Walls, a series of mixed media collages on canvas, inspired by quilting and origami. I need to take a bunch of photographs of my work and put them up somewhere. My Etsy shop is pretty bare, and I would love to have a gallery of previous work on my very own website...anyone know a good website designer? I need some help organizing this mess.
