Great gowns

This is the gown Barbra Streisand wore in "Hello Dolly". My number 1 favorite movie gown.
I was inspired to write about my favorite movie clothes after reading Tom & Lorenzo's blog about "White Christmas". They show my #2 favorite gown which is worn by Rosemary Clooney when she sings "Love, You didn't do right by me". I found this blog after reading their Project Rungay blog. Both of their blogs are witty, biting and incredibly funny!
It's not really a great gown, but I love the "ice dacha" set in Doctor Zhivago. And Julie Christie makes even th drab commie garb look chic.

Here's the next one

The inside reads "These are our wishes for you this season."

New pic-collage


I have trying to come up with an idea for our Christmas card, but since we are not all together, I haven't been able to "pose" a picture. I cut and pasted these shots together today. I like it. But it isn't holiday. Maybe I'll get an idea later!

Mission Accomplished



Whew! I have really got it done today! I have not been working in my studio this week for a couple of reasons: my boss, and other visitors were in my office this week and was at the office very late each day; my studio has been a wreck. The boss and visitors left Friday. So I decided to tackle the studio today. As you can see by the pics above, I got it done. I am very pleased with the results. I needed to go through completed project piles and purge. I can not keep everything, I need empty, clean areas to work. Too much stuff makes me fidgety. I also cleaned the closet in this room and moved in a wooden shelf to hold more of my supplies. Amazing that I have waited all my life for such a room. A creative space, not a corner in the bed room, dining room or den. A space where I can store my stuff and organize it so I will feel relaxed and ready to create.
What inspired this? Well, I am ready to start another quilt. I had to lay the fabrics out on the dining room table since my studio was a mess. That did not make sense to me, especially since we are trying to get some holiday decor out! Now, I have the studio ready, which leads to the dining room being clean, and now I can put on the Christmas centerpiece.
Feels good to have a clean, organized space!
