Hattie Block - 200

I have officially reached my 200th painting! I'm trying to think of some sort of contest we can have to celebrate.

This weekend (starting tomorrow) I'm dragging out the sewing machine and I'm going to get my slipcover project done once a for all!! I have been inspired by Gina at The Shabby Creek Cottage to finish this project. This summer I purchased the The Lazy Girl's Guide to Custom Slipcovers and I'm also armed with a tutorial from Miss Mustard Seed.

So, RIGHT ON, I can do this!

What do you have in store for 2013? For me…more and more painting.

I received a lovely hat block signed by milliner and fashion icon, Hattie Carnegie (who my daughter is named after), from my husband for Christmas.

I was so excited and happy it brought tears to my eyes.
