I was about to give up that the UPS guy would bring my author copies today. About 5:10 pm, Scooter started barking. He hears much better than Mr C and I. Mr C went out the front door and came back in with my box of 5 author copies. Sorry for the weird photo. It was taken with my Macbook Photobooth cam.
The book is really gorgeous — just chock full of beautiful photos of our quilts and our own personal stories. If you want an autographed copy from me, I will be setting up a buy now button as soon as I have some time and know how.
The Lark blog is doing Twelve Days of Twelves. I was the featured artist today. Be sure to follow along. They may have a give away of our book at the end.
At breakfast, I found this lovely plant in a pot that Mr C knew I would love. He was right!!
I have my sage/blue/brown piece done except for sewing down the facings. Here is a sneak peek of the work in progress.
Today, I started a mini-Photoshop Elements class. I am totally self taught in Photoshop and Illustrator, meaning, I don’t know much, at all!!
Here is my first project — a cropped photo with text — color matched to the stem of the daisy!
I have to tell you that listening to Stephanie talk about her photography job in Savannah was such a thrill for me. She had fun, learned a lot and was very successful. Now, they wait for the client to make some decisions. Soon, I can tell you the name of the client.
Lisa says she can die now because she was mentioned in the NY Times magazine yesterday. Click here to read about her. My kids continue to amaze me.
I haven’t shown you a photo of the lovable, Scooter, lately. Here he is, sacked out in the tv room. He lies right at my feet. Sometimes, I forget he is there and trip over him. Such a sweetie.
Gerrie,
A thousand apologies for spelling your name wrong in previous commment.
Congratulations to all the Twelve by Twelves for the new book, also you must be so pround of your daughter, children do surprise us all the time.
OK, I’m looking for the Buy Now button! Can’t wait to get your book! Exciting!!
And what about your girls! How cool is that???
Don’t you love the way our boys are always there for us (I’m talking Scooter and Barker here, not Steve and Craig!). All during the move, Barker was ‘in the way’…..but how can you get angry with them when all they want is to be with the pack leader?
xo
Congrats to Lisa on the NY Times mention! Saw the article about her in the SF Chronicle, too.
Yeah! Congratulations to all 12 of you!!
Congratulations Gerrie, Lisa, and Stephanie! Wow!!! What a talented family of beautiful women. Waiting “patiently” for the book.;)
It’s all fabulous, congrats!
How cool is that!
You’re published!! How exciting for you all. Can’t wait to see the real thing.
Such amazing talent in your family. Wonderful.
I bought myself a Kalanchoe in the orange color yesterday. Such a pretty plant. Anything with pretty color this time of year is so welcome.
Glad you had a great day.
So glad to hear that the book has made it to the Pacific Northwest and Diane got her copies too. Next stops Hawaii, UK, Belgium and Australia!
By the way, Lark will be doing “a few giveaways on some of the posts” so it will pay for readers to check in regularly.
You had a very nice Valentine’s day!
Today, I’m working on my 12×12 landscape.
