Caren Baginski, HGTV.com's decorating editor recently interviewed me and asked some really fun to answer questions. It's a great blog with interesting interviews and beautiful design ideas. Don't know how I missed it until recently but HGTV.com is a great resource. Neat blogs and a really great message board community for do-it-yourselfers, crafters, quilters and more. Also, they've got a Flickr group where you can post pics of your projects and home!
I was so excited to learn last night that fellow blogger and friend Melissa Averinos is the newest addition to Free Spirit. She's totally fabulous as is her blog so I can't wait to see her collection which will debut in August. I talked her ear off last night in my excitement! Look for lots of great things to come from this girl.
That's it for now, I've got 2 sick kids to tend to...
