I won my first fabric giveaway. Some cute On a Whim 2 fabric from Amy at Red Fish Circle
Please check out her blog. She is an amazing illustrator!

Happy Birthday to My Grammy, my Nagymama who immigrated from Hungary over 100 yrs ago. If she were alive today she would be 121yrs. She was a weaver in the woolen mills in New England. She was awesome. She came to live with us when I was 1 yr old. She raised me. She taught me how to knit and the appreciation of the fiberarts. She taught me how to “Cheat the Devil” at Solitaire. Maria Ana Soltesz walked so fast––even in her 80s––that I could barely keep up with her. She sang beautiful songs in Magyar. I miss her. I miss her lost in translation sayings… like… “How much clock?” meaning, ‘What time is it?’
So my dear Nagymama…thank you for loving me (in your own gruff way), thank you for raising me, thank you for your song, your strength. Thank you for bravely leaving your homeland, alone, at age 15. You lost your family to Hitler’s Nazis. You taught me how to persevere. I love you. Until we meet again.

I love all things ART! This is a great video. My friend Maddie over at Fresh Thread posted it. It is so great I just had to share it with you. Enjoy

Well I was supposed to be spending the day getting my Studio––aka, my daughter-who-left-for-college-and-I-took-her-room––and sewing/knitting supplies in order. I made a teeny bit O progress.

But I got sidetracked working in Illustrator and made this

Tomorrow’s another day to focus.
