When I was still designing toys - I did a set of puzzles call "See Inside" and when you lifted the puzzle piece you could see inside the item depicted. The most popular was the Dinosaur Puzzles, where you saw the bones under the puzzle pieces.

Well, I haven't designed a children's puzzle in a quite a few years. But, today I'd like to invite you to 'See Inside' my studio. I love Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion Magazine, because we get to 'See Inside' the studios of creative people. Anyway, here are a few shots of where I work and create.

This is where I do my bookkeeping, file management and some design work.

My drawing board sometimes collects large piles of stuff,
but it's a great place to spread things out to have a look.
Yes, I sometimes still design there the old fashioned way, pencil/paper.

Fabric Stash + Wiener Dog (Heidi)
Gosh . . . my fabric stash is looking low. Perhaps I should
go shopping and do a little replenishing!

Cutting/Sewing/Pressing worktable.
FYI, Lonni Rossi fabrics quietly waiting for my rotary cutter.

Simply the best place to sit and work.
My best ideas come to me in that chair!

I love it when you inadvertently pile up a bunch of stuff
and you realize, hey that stuff works together. Go get the camera . . .

Well I hope you enjoyed your visit. I sure do love working here!

As always, may my inspiration be your inspiration!
