Regina said:

Love, love, love your scarf. Can you share the instructions?

Reply | Edit | View | 2 days ago on 8 a m

Regina, I am a girl with no direction! I can tell you that I used two stitches that I learned from New Stitched A Day videos-the Drop stitch and the Veil stitch. I started with a caston of 63...then 14 rows of the Veil stitch and added in some Drop stitches with more Veil stitches mixed in, lol. And I am going to end it with 14 more rows of the Veil stitch. Forgive my chaos-this is my first time knitting in [15] years. I just find videos of stitches I like-to teach me quickly!!!

HI Keisha :) Love everything you do on here.. your photos are gorgeous :) I just have a quick question about the paint in your crafting space, Martha Stewart Metallic gold, I'm planning on doing my Linen closets in it, but Its not available in Canada yet... (sigh) How did you think it went on? Does it come in standard gallon and quart and is it around the same price as her other paints? I also heard shes ending her paint line, and transferring her colors into CIL.

Reply | Edit | View | 2 days ago on 8 a m

Hey Brianne, Thanks! The sad thing is the paint only comes in 10 oz jars-we used 4 jars(about $5 each). It does take at least 2 coats-we used a roller. You can see some strokes-not a lot. I figured you would have that with metallic paint. This paint is better for smaller projects. I think closet are perfect for metallic paints---especially-if you're more of a perfectionist, lol!!!  I didn't hear that the line was ending-I do love it.

Kim said:

Such an awesome space! Where did you find the curtains??

Kim, JoAnn's! The outdoor fabric section!! I don't know the fabric maker, sorry.

Beatriz Jennings said:

love that blouse Keisha!!! If I can ask where you got it? thanks! Love your new studio photos :)

Reply | Edit | View | 3 days ago on 8 a m

Thanks, Beatriz & ladies...I am a bargain shopper-love a good sale. That top is from the Off Saks outlet store-last summer(40% off day)!

 

8 a m

====================================================================================

8 am this morning-before makeup & hair! But dressed for the day, lol! The sun is best in my studio early in the morning before 11am. I never really play with my camera this early and I need to do it more.

====================================================================================

==================================================================================

Knitting too...another hobby. I started this scarf two weeks ago-I wanted a summer scarf this is big enough to be a shawl. I also wanted it to have a very open lacy stitch...

===================================================================================

for Holly-i took full view photo of my jetmax today...i'll post more photos of what is in the drawers soon......

Holly S said:

Those shelves are in the closet, right? Love the close-ups A LOT but would also love a wider shot to put it all into perspective...if you know what I mean?! If it's too much trouble I'll use my imagination...thanks for sharing your beautifully decorated scrap room with us!!!!

katharina pradel said:

LOVE THAT PAGE! (; And can you tell the manufacturer of that embossed stamp on black?

Reply | Edit | View | 2 days ago on s p l e n d i d

 

I have been using this set for he past few months on my tags-I LOVE this set by Martha Stewart. Funny thing is-I had it for over a year before I ever used it. Now I can't stop using it!!

OK, it's 73 and sunny...Lulu & I are going for a long walk! I will be back later today with updated studio photos & I'll add a new sidebar album of them all.

Hi Keisha! As always, I'm loving your scrap room! I found the organizer for the Slice from Michaels (thanks for sharing that info with me, by the way!), but now I spy a divider in the drawer that I must have! Is that from the Container Store? It seems to fit perfectly inside!:)

Reply | Edit | View | 3 days ago on s p l e n d i d

 

 

Hi Liz, lol...it does fit so PERFECTLY-I was shocked!! Go to Target...in the closet organizing section...there are some clear drawer organizing bins in 3 sizes-this is the smallest...i think it is about $2.99.
