From the Atelier – On to the Next Project

Pulling three more racks of clothes for the next job to join the two that are already at No. 11, and more on Monday. Leaving Wednesday am for three weeks in different locations in Southeast Arizona; Adam will fly out to join and help wrap on the 24th. Townspeople (fashionable and not), saloon types, rough ranchers, lawmen…and hoping to style a few lovely *non feathered* saloon girls. Prepared with petticoats. More is better.


Tombstone At 20 Years

I have a little laugh when people here in town don’t know I’ve been here for twenty years. Well…it’s true. The big 2-0. This is the week we bought this place and life changed in the weirdest ways imaginable! I’m still a California girl, but I love this town…still can’t figure out why, but I do. Friends who are family now bind me here, half the time I drive out, I stay here and just sew. Sorry about the barking, Tombstone…Angus and Fiona are here, too. 😁

C’Est La Vie

It’s winter, and this girl’s fancy turns to bustle-y ballgowns…but then I got a call for work and my plans went to heck. There will be time to make fancy things later, because work always wins. 😁 So much to clean tonight!

At No. 11

Quiet supper with Old friends…really old ones! This one has a long history of LA film construction and is always happy to see me. 😄
