August Sale

The July Roomy sale was crazy. I sold 8 pieces of furniture, which is amazing in my small space. Just so things wouldn't be on the floor I had to find, bring home, paint and move furniture in, all in the same day. I was happy to have the sales, but very very tired by Sunday.

Fortunately, Chip and I were able to get away for a mini-vacation to celebrate our 11th anniversary. Chip had also had a stressful month job-wise, so the peace and beauty of Mendocino was just what we needed. We stayed in a nice B&B and browsed through the galleries and shops, and enjoyed the many fine restaurants.











This months sale was a lot easier. I started painting early, so I didn't have to do it all at once. I also hit a few very good sales, and had a few fruitful trips to the thrift stores. This was good I haven't been feeling to well and wasn't able to do as much as usual. It funny, as it always seems I won't be able to get enough done, but it always works out in the end.










I was really happy with this burlap pillow I did. My friend Lainey told me about this fantastic thing call Sheer Heaven. With this product you can apply any image onto fabric. You print your image on your printer with the special paper, and then spray the image with alcohol, place it on the fabric, burnish a little and the image transfers right to the fabric. Unlike t-shirt transfers, there is no hard plastic finish. I printed the image onto muslin and then applied the muslin to the burlap using steam-a-seam.

I hope to have time to do more of these pillows next month and doing other things with this fantastic product. I 'm doing a few shows with a fellow Roomie in September, so I better get going!
