what's happenin'

I'm in the final stages of instructions on my newest Prims (not yet pictured). It is less stressful for me to have everything done before I post pics, because then I'm not scrambling at the last minute when people start ordering. A few should be done within a week or so. I will post them as soon as possible. Judi

3 of my newest patterns are now posted under the "Whats New " page. They will be available for sale on 2-15. These are the first of the Prims. I can't wait to get the instructions done so that I can keep working on the fun stuff!!

Well the boxes are all cleared and my life is back to normal. I've setteled in and at long last am back to designing. For those of you who have been asking for new stuff-I'm sorry that It has taken so long. It has been a long ..... long.... year.
But I do I have about 5 or 6 new things already done and about 10 or so more on paper. I hope to have at least 12 to 15 done before the year is out. As usual the hardest part is the writing of the instructions, as I really take my time . I want for people to be able to follow every detail without a hitch! as always I strive to write as if a beginner were reading / sewing.
Some of my newbies are Primitive, so it will be fun to get messy with the paint again. I always love doing primitive work, but don't get to do it as often as I'd like. Optimillaly It would be best to get patterns out one at a time, but that just isn't practical to my situation. I have to do all painting in my kitchen, as I don't have a designated sink in my studio. (I always make a HUGE mess and paint ends up everywhere) so I try to do all of the painting at once, which means that I have to get a bunch of stuff designed and sewn up so that I'm able to paint them all at once. Basically I don't cook on those days -weeks -monthes. So.ooo that is what I'm doing now, so that I can paint paint paint!!!
So many of have asked for finished items and I've always said the I couldn't possibly offer them because I need them for the shows. But recently I decided to put the "prototypes 4 sale" button put on the site because I am now at the point where I have so many designs that It is impossibe to take everything. So I have decided to put some of my items up for sale. This won't be for a while yet and I'm still not sure how many will go up but I am making preparations. So if your interested just keep checking.
Thats it for now. Today is a "sewing" day so am anxious to get to work.
Thanks for stopping in to see whats new.

Well the move went ok but Imade a HUGE mistake. I was still at the old house supervising when my guys were moving instead of being at the new place. I had color coded the boxes to be placed in appropritate rooms and they just dumped all of the boxes wherever they could find room. When I walked in at 3 am that first night I couldnt believemy eyes. There were boxes piled from floor to the ceiling about 5 or 6 boxes deep, in 3 rooms and one tiny meandering pathway cutting through the sea of boxes. I just sat down and cried- Was so overwhelmed!! Meanwhile I had my 3 cats in only 2 cages. Fortunately they placed my couch at the very end of the path directly at the bottom of my stairs and miracle of miracles there was a small space about 4 x 4 around it leading into the bathroom. Of course there were boxes piled high on it but i pushed them off and stationed myself while I decided what to do wiht my cats. I wanted to bring them upstairs into my bedroom for that first night but soon realized that I would never be able to drag the cages up over the couch to the stairs. ( you had to step on the couch to get to the stairs, and i kept thinking DON'T LIFT-DON'T LIFT!!( I had been working on packing for about a month and it was a miracle that my back had held out this long and I was sure that one last lift would have pushed it over the edge!!!. ) Meanwhile my big male started a fight wwith the other cat in his cage so I had to let those 2 free. I was very worried because I couldn't get to any windows ( due to the boxes ) and wasn't sure if any were open due to the fact that it had been a very hot day.. I knew the cats would explore every possible inch of that house and knew if a window were open theyd find it!!! Nevertheless.... I collapsed into bed and to my surprise and relief, they were still around the next morning.
Next came the daunting task of finding my clothes...soap,....HAIR GEL...... for my curly naughty hair that turns to utter unmangable chaos without it. - and NO you can't just go out an buy any hair gel- it has to be special ordered hair gel. Hair gel is my biggest problem in life. because without it I look like a witch, a nast frizzy witch!!!!. "You think they'd place the box marked bathroom in the bathroom!!! ....Or the boxes marked clothes in the bedroom!!!" I'd sputter under my breath as I waded through boxes, and warded off the anger!!!. All the while thinking "how on earth can I do this... I can't lift, and even if I could there is nowhere to put the boxes" ( since eveyr inch of the space was occupied!) So I'd have to send the boxes crashing into the path, ( hope to that my breakables wouldn't break- all the while thinking that NOTHING that I have is worth my back) empty it, distribute it and repeat the process.Sometimes letting them drop 5 or 6 feet. Day after day. It took me two weeks just to find my DSL box. In fact just located it a couple days ago wherein I had the task of trying to figure out how to hook it up. ( STOP YELLING !!! i'm an artist not a computer geek!!!) Needless to say I'm still swimming in boxes and plain ole' stuff. I can't lift with my back but my legs are sure getting a workout. It takes me 10 times as long, but I manage. I just have to do or else! Im frustrated though 'cause I want to start working. I did set up a tiny space about 3x3 and set my sewing machine but haven't actually sat down to sew yet. Pretty soon I'll be back on task and in full swing - can't wait to get back to work.! And for all of you who are contemplating a move - Learn from me.......Be at the recieving end, not the sending end!!!!
Till next time XOXO Jude

Taking a much needed break from painting. I only have two rooms to do but one will need 3 coats and theres only about 18" around the perimeter (due to the room being packed) to work! I've been working on that one. The sooner that I can get work done here, the quicker I can get back to work. That always relaxes me -
For all of you that are filling out the feedback at the bottom of the pages (Comments/Suggestions) Thank You. I Seriously like to hear feedback even if it is not good. Its the only way that I can improve. When I was younger andI would make something ( i was constantly making things ) I would ask my mother how she liked it and I always got the same response. "looks great.. wonderful. ...perfect." I always wanted to know what was wrong with it. I would get so.oo frustrated because I would asK what would she change? "Nothing!!!' shed respond! Eventually I got to the point where I'd say DONT LIE -WHATS WRONG WITH IT! She still has a difficult time being honest but Id always let her know thats what I NEED! Sounds terrible to be complain about a supportive parent but.... its more supportive to be honest,albiet tempered. Maybe I would have stopped making things early on without it that bridled response. Who knows! But the long and short of it is, please let me know what I need to do to improve! I won't be upset- I promise!!
Chris Thank you for your words of encouragement. Your words ment more to me than you know. If you want to adopt me I'm up for grabs!!! : )
