I wanted to pop in and say hello to eveyone. How are you doing? I know the weather is very odd this summer, isn't it? It hasn't bothered me one way or the other because I have mostly been glued to the studio. We just turned in the final corrections to the strike 0ffs for my 3rd fabric collection, called Woodland Delight. Hows that for the weakest of sneak peaks above? Sorry about that, but for some reason I have the tiniest swatches and if I got in much closer it wouldn't be a sneak peak, now would it? You'll just have to wait. I turned this collection in last February, and it is just now getting finalized, so I've been waiting much longer than you will. This line will show a more carefree, playful side to my designs. I like to mix it up sometimes, you know.

What a lovely surprise to find my Summer Soiree was being featured yesterday on one of my favorite sites, print & pattern. Go check it out here. I LOVE print & pattern so it's quite an honor to be featured twice now.

A few minutes ago I also got news that True Up has just posted this interview they did with me recently. It's hot off the press, so go check it out here. I really enjoyed doing this one for some reason; just had more fun with it, I guess.

I am in the midst of some projects, one of which is patternmaking. Yikes. What a long, arduous process. I'm very excited about a couple first tries, but I have quite aways to go before you see sneak peeks on these, geez.

Finally, I told you I had a bit of an announcement last week. I still do, but now that is being put off another week. Welcome to my world. Hurry up and wait.

Drop in to say hello. Gets kinda lonely being glued to the studio.
That sneak peek is enough for me! I'm excited already. I just bought a boat load of Summer Soiree yesterday and I can't wait until the mail man gets to my house.
ReplyDeleteEven a sneak peek perks me up! You have the cheeriest designs. Always an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWooooooodland!!! Okay now I'm excited! Can't wait to get a better look at it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the peek! Looking forward to seeing the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me to hear how LONG it takes to get a design to print. I would think I would be sick of the designs by the time they make it to the public, I'd lose all enthusiasm. :) But I suppose that helps keep you looking forward to the next new design set!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a third line, you have a knack for color that's so bright and cheerful but never overdone. I love it.
Aah! I haven't even had a chance to get some summer soiree and you are already coming out with something new! I can't keep up!
ReplyDeleteLoved your interview on True Up, I always love hearing how people got started and learn a little bit behind the scenes...can't wait to see what your up to next!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had fun with the interview, Paula! We'll have to do another when Woodland Delight comes out -- which, by the way, looks pretty awesome from here. Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the sneak peek!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs little as I was able to see, I already know I can't wait to get my hands on the Woodland Delight collection! It looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHowe exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the sneak peek:)))
Hugs,
Kay
Congrats on so many great things!!!!!!
ReplyDeletehello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....
ReplyDeleteThat's not much a sneak peak, more like a tease--ha! ha! Well, I took two pictures of just the fabric and hope to send those to you soon. I've got some great ideas for the shoes... can't wait to show you. I wish I was able to working on something with reckless abandon like you can! Congrats on the features!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to get a better peek at those babies! i am sure they are fabulous like everything you do!
ReplyDeletePaula,
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how I've never heard of you but I'm in love with your summer soiree line. The totally fun and totally crazy thing about you is that I live in Carmel, Indiana as well. I design women's jewelry and childrens clothing as well am a photographer. I can't believe you've been right here all this time and I've never run across your fabrics. I'm in heaven. We just returned home after being away for 10 weeks on Summer vacation. I'm ready to get sewing again and can't wait to get some of your fabrics ordered. Are there any local shops carrying them or what is the best way to order?
PS...I started out on eBay back in 2004 with people like Patty from Mod Kid and so forth. Such a small world! Keep up the awesome work. Love your pallettes!
Blessings, Angie Seaman

Oooooo...do I spy my favorite color combo-- fuschia and orange?? I'm swooning!
ReplyDeleteI love your fabrics, they are so nice and very bright. I love that. I look for brights often for the kitchen towels I make for my etsy shop. I need to try some of yours out now.
ReplyDeleteAlso I think I am already loving the new line you have coming out. The picture you have in the background looks awesome. I love the orange, browns, and pinks. Have fun in the studio.
