roses

did you know tyler is the rose capital of the world?

this time of year you can buy them by the dozens off most street corners in town. they come wrapped in newspapers, & you do have to watch the thorns. the best part is that they have THE most amazing smell. i'm talking about the kind of scent you catch just walking by. and the dreamy colors...

this is the stuff of childhood memories for me.

2 tyler roses themselves came into town tuesday and brought these to me! thanks margaret & mere :)

organization 101

today i spent hours washing & nicely folding all of my new fabric. ahhhh. what a beautiful stack. it makes me so happy just to look @ this picture :)

the only problem is that THIS is what the rest of my fabric looks like...

and...

and these lovelies are in a basket on the floor...

ahhh! so i've spent this evening refolding & organizing & trying to make some sort of sense out of my studio. it's not finished, but i'm already feeling so much better. nothing like spring cleaning in october!
