2024-09-30 16:02:34 +0000 UTCI have a canopy on my bed but it is a basic one I did ages ago. This gives me ideas…….

2024-03-22 07:50:01 +0000 UTCWhat are those nectarine colored jeans. I must find them!

2024-03-13 20:44:21 +0000 UTCHOO-LEEE Moly I didn't think you could make that bed any more incredible, and then you go and prove me wrong! I'd just lie there and stare at the canopy top all night, it is hypnotic. Beautiful job as always, ma'am.

2024-03-07 01:04:50 +0000 UTCI am a freelance interior/ accessory designer. My father owned a custom upholstery and manufacturing company. Whenever there is a mistake the solution must be beautiful and uniform. You do this so well my mouth falls open! You are a wonderful designer as well as an artisan. Skill without good design principles is so contrived looking. You are also not lazy! Very inspiring to say the least!!!

2024-03-04 05:55:56 +0000 UTCHello! I think I had about 20 yards and I sewed the end and the beginning of that yardage together creating a large hoop :D
Christine McConnell
2024-03-04 02:06:55 +0000 UTCHi , I’m confused, I’ve been sewing for years an years , but when you explain putting the sides together an sew , so then you have a massive circle , I just cannot see what you mean , it may be me mixing things up but I’ve tried to work it out and I can’t please help ,❤️

2024-03-03 03:43:43 +0000 UTCDoes anyone else find themselves searching for The Captive in the background of the exterior panning shots? Almost like a Michael Myers-esque "Where's Waldo"? I realize it's probably Grant doing the filming for the exteriors, but it's always a fun little Easter egg to spot him, lurking in the shadows...

2024-03-02 13:23:46 +0000 UTCNo I almost died. But I'm finally seeing the up side I think.
Jess
2024-03-02 01:22:28 +0000 UTCI call those challenging moments "design opportunities"! :) It looks absolutely fabulous, and guest room or no, I think I would take a nap there every day.

Beth Hooper
2024-02-29 17:59:26 +0000 UTCI know you understand. I wish you could have met him too. You would have loved him, and he would have loved you. He was a great judge of character. Our current cats are lovely in their own way, but Albert was our best boy ever.

2024-02-29 02:49:59 +0000 UTCBeautiful!
tamviolet
2024-02-29 01:32:16 +0000 UTCHere I was thinking you were going to stick a googly eye in the middle of the medallion so that when someone sleeps in the bed and they look up, they can feel like they're being watched hahaha! The whole bed looks absolutely amazing Christine, well done!
Mari
2024-02-28 22:12:13 +0000 UTCThis literally made my day, thank you!
Mylie
2024-02-28 21:10:16 +0000 UTCOMG! That star in the middle of the canopy.... with the braided dome in the center....?! It looks SO cool!!!!
Kiki Reef
2024-02-28 20:47:30 +0000 UTCI love seeing a different approach to the house in the intro!
Tammi Harris-Crocheted Atrocities
2024-02-28 20:20:42 +0000 UTCThis is beautiful and the fact that there is a hidden googly eye in the center of the bed canopy watching over whoever is sleeping is the perfect gothic mansion icing on the cake.

2024-02-28 20:06:37 +0000 UTCTHIS IS FUCKING GORGEOUS OMG!!!!!!
Hongmin Jin
2024-02-28 18:44:26 +0000 UTCOMG. I am just loving(!) that you are cutting etc in your hallway. Inspiration. (Though there is that energy to hoick the board up and down those stairs. Kudos.) Truly, would only a woman work where it makes the most sense for her? :-D

2024-02-28 17:33:45 +0000 UTCHaha well I’m totally patient for perfection. Although I may scratch just a pinky nail on the corner when I’m 85.
Katie Milone
2024-02-28 17:30:25 +0000 UTCI'm so sorry Mina. I don't think you ever get over the loss of a truly special kitty. I wish I could have met him.
Christine McConnell
2024-02-28 17:28:34 +0000 UTCHaha! I think the trick to that is to use new silk and then wait 60-100 years ;)
Christine McConnell
2024-02-28 17:25:28 +0000 UTCCan I make mine with old silk cloth that slowly drops tendrils of thread on my face while I sleep? 😊🥀
Katie Milone
2024-02-28 17:16:55 +0000 UTCOooh I know what I’m gonna sneak and watch at work today. 🖤🖤 Can’t wait to see what you have in the works.

2024-02-28 16:32:00 +0000 UTCThis is a lovely treat for a melancholy day. 12 years ago today Albert A. Cat wandered into our life and changed it forever. This is the second year we have celebrated Albert Day without him. I miss him every single day, but most of all today.
