Breaking News | Shade Garden 1st Strike-offs are IN

This is always the exciting part of the process: seeing how your artwork translates to fabric. It can also be a little stressful. I wanted to give you a little glimpse of the real fabrics. There are color corrections to be made, so I'll be busy on Sunday or Monday going over them with a fine toothed comb.

Here in the North East, we're having an early summer. No thanks! I'd really appreciate a bit more spring, Ms. Nature. But on the other hand, it certainly makes me want to enjoy a margarita on our new glider love seat under our new patio umbrella... so, I suppose I shouldn't really complain.

Enjoy your weekend!

Another congrats to add to the list. Strike offs, ah yes. We are also under time pressure when mine come and must send them back out the same day. Take a deep breath and savor the moment as much as possible.
