Not off to a great start. And it's all on me. I had received the printed swatches from Spoonflower before I released the designs to the public - but I hadn't looked at them very closely. . The collection from which a sample is featured on the table runner in this picture - the repeat is broken. Somehow, I loaded a bunch of wrong swatches to Spoonflower. . . So, once I realized my f*ck up, I kinda panicked and deleted that last IG post - about having a shop set up. Now I realize I probably should have left it and just edited the caption. Thing is, so many people look at the image and don't really fully read the caption. I know cuz I do it all the time. So, I'm loading a new image with this caption. I will fix and load new designs in a bit. . The broken designs are now disabled so no one can order my mistakes. Oh well - back to the drawing board, for both IG and Spoonflower. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #makesomething #mybarnstudio #tracycreativestudio #tracycreating #dahmenartisanbarn #artisanbarn #dahmenbarn #artistofinstagram #2ndguessing #repeatingpattern #pattern #design #wtf #wip #spoonflower #fabricdesign #blockprint #fiberart https://www.instagram.com/p/CpJE63kvELc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some on the design wall. Some on the desk. . . . . Freezer paper stencil... . . . . . . These are hand dyed cottons and cotton with rust, and rayon with a metallic oil stick rubbing from linoleum block. . I think I need to do one more set of stencils - circles this time - that cross multiple panels. . . . . . week, werk, werk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

So, I don't post pictures of my face. Not a taker of the selfie. But, thought I'd pop in here to introduce myself and to say a couple things. . Hello and Happy Lunar New Year. It's a cold day here, so I'm wearing my fuzzy for warmth. Hope you are warm and safe and the new year is good to and yours. . . . Also, happy 50th to Roe. Women's Marches are happening, hope they are safe as well. . . . . . . Listening to Siouxsie and the Banshees on Pandora, and Morrissey asks - Is evil something you are or something you do? A rather fitting question for our point in history and the human condition in general. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . So, I probably won't post another selfie this year - maybe again in 2024 to wish you all a happy LNY. . . . . . . . . . . #makesomething #mybarnstudio #tracycreativestudio #tracycreating #dahmenartisanbarn #artisanbarn #dahmenbarn #artistofinstagram #happynewyear #happylunarnewyear #happybirthdayroe #wedeservebetter #wtf #womanofacertainage #hellinahandbasket #thenextthing https://www.instagram.com/p/CnvGmZhPOIX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Trying to find the bright side. Beautiful blue cerulean sky. Leaves doing that thing they do for fall. This is my front yard - how amazing is that? So much beauty in the world, sometimes you really don't have to look that hard, just have to open your eyes. The weekend will be here soon. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

And just like that, it's spring. I took this pic last weekend. It is actually supposed to be a bit colder and rainy this weekend. Today is lovely - calm, bright, warmish. I need to go to the Barn, but staying home to help trim / prune trees is also a thing I should do. And l might get a Mule for my efforts. . Just to be clear, we have been dry all year, this was just a little celebration of one year WFH, and a little reward for getting a lot of pruning done. Still a lot more trimming to do... But I gotta do the Barn today. . Hope everyone has a safe and happy week, sliding into the weekend. . .

Still not feeling great, but I have the week off and the Barn is closed, so I don't have to worry about people being around, and I can concentrate on pulling some fabrics for the new piece. Been dreaming about working on this - just love this phase of the process, when everything is still possible, all the "what ifs" are percolating. . . . Colors will be mostly warm - autumnal, browns, apricot, caramel - with small pops of turquoise. . . Pictures are of hand dyed fabrics in my studio - auditioning the players. . Cotton sheeting is wrapped up with rusty metal and some vinegar in the sink. Can't wait to see how it turns out! . There is much ripping and tearing and then sewing 🧵 back together again in my future. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Still not quite done - so close! Maybe I'll get there tomorrow. I'm still thinking "hot flash" is a good title. . The wheels are turning in my head about the next project. Eager to get started. . I'll post pictures of this piece on my section of the Barn's site when it's complete. . And I'll post pictures here along the way of the work on the next project - you know - the same old drill. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It is happening again. In late October of 2020 we had an early heavy snow that broke some trees - woke up to this yesterday morning. And now some cold and high winds are on the way - with - you guessed it - more snow 🌨️. . 2 years ago I ended my message with, "Hope you are safe and warm this weekend. Stay safe and vote!" Applies again! . . . . .. #makesomething #tracycreativestudio #tracycreating #dahmenartisanbarn #artisanbarn #trees #leaves #park #plants #grassy #winter #fromthegarden #whatgrowsinpullman #summernomore #organic #rest #gardening #cottagecore #backyard #earlysnow #winteriscoming #autumn #fall #brrrr #cold #weekend #hellinahandbasket https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckg800CvMcO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Middle stone attached and now the bead embellishments begins. 😊 . Also, spoke with a woman the other day about a commission. It will be rather a big project, but in smaller chunks. The wheels are turning, ideas are clanging around in my head about the next project, while I'm still working away on this piece. It's a nice place to be. I'm excited about the possibilities for the next project, for the shapes and colors, within her requested perimeters - which are really very few. And this piece is coming along and will be complete soon. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
