Check out Design Sponge today! Hello Snowman...

My snowman ornament kit is featured with a whole bunch of other beautiful bits to decorate for the holidays...

Look what arrived...

not today- but a week or so ago and I finally got around to taking a photo of the new Artful Blogging that I'm profiled in. If you're visiting here, most likely you've seen it all, but it's a nice magazine with lots of artist blogs... check it out!

Outtakes: part 2

Here are more outtakes from the photo shoot for Where Women Create... See the published piece here.

Outtakes: part 1

Now that the new Where Women Create is out on the news stands I can properly share all the outtakes from the photo shoot- "Hey, Here's my studio- Come on In..."

today in my mailbox- It's Here!

The August/September issue of Where Women Create is out- and I'm so honored to have been included with such a fantastic group of ladies: Amy Butler, Ashely Carter, Wendy Addison, my Mom- Pat Murphy and many other dynamos. Wow.
I shot all the photos myself, which was overwhelming and harder than I'd remembered. It had been over 4 years since I'd done an interior shoot and with the added weight of this being my studio... well, suffice to say I was a little stressed about it. Now, holding the issue in my hand that's all fallen away and I'm left just feeling proud and lucky. Thanks to Jay for putting up with me, everyone at Stampington, Jen O'Connor, and my Mom for all their help in making it happen.
Order your own copy from my Mom, Jen O'Connor at Earth Angels, or your local bookstore- or pick up a signed copy at the Creative Connection.

Side note:
I opened the Magazine today to find the image I posted just yesterday- I'd completely forgotten I'd sent it to WWC for the article. So I guess it will be seen after all!

Look who's in here...

One of my little cake toppers was part of a wedding recently featured in Martha Stewart Weddings! Laura Normandin and Ben Tyszka's beautiful wedding in Brooklyn's Prospect Park looks fun filled - with dancing, a barbecue lunch, and a bicycle-riding. Pick up the magazine or check it out more photos on the website for all the details from the day...

I am so happy I was able to work on this Bride and Groom for Laura and Ben... The little wool pom pom Wrens stand atop the vintage fabric box covered in vintage flowers and little floating butterflies. The details is what makes this piece so special.
