We decided not to wait til July to work on our Etsy store. Nancy got it going again and immediately we got two sales. What fun! I hope we'll have enough time to do a good job. We'll be back full time in July (unless we get a new job.) Nancy and I r…

About Me:
My sister, Nancy and I have been in the craft and needlework business for a very long time. We used to produce needlework and craft kits that were sold in the major craft stores. Then we switched to books, starting with counted cross stitch. We now produce books for a large publisher.
We're semi retired so we have more time to make things that we like to do instead of having to always appeal to the mass market. We love paper art, atcs, collage, ephemera, etc.
We've accumulated lots of stuff through the years and now want to share it. We have paper and ephemera galore. Also lots of fabric.
Barbara has a background as an L.A. art director and Nancy has a degree in anthropology.
Our studio is in an avocado grove in Southern California.

Vacation

We've been so busy with our new job that we let our etsy shop expire.
We'll have to start all over in July when this job is over. It's all about recipes
with lots of food photography. It's been a real learning experience. I guess you
can teach an old dog new tricks. We've never had a job that involved food before.
It was very hard in the beginning but now it's actually kind of fun.
Anybody need any food photography or recipe development, or recipe testing ?

Watercolor workshop


I went to a watercolor workshop last Sunday and learned a few neat tricks. I painted this using an antique photo of bathing beauties as an inspiration. I think it needs a little more work.
