Schucks, thanks Janet! If you saw my room (with floral border, messy floor stuff bursting) you’d think twice about calling it hip. A mess is more like it! Ryco sounds like a fun destination. Do they have a big selection? It’s tough to get a handle on it from their website…

I read your blog faithfully and enjoy your many talents.
I, too, have a craftroom/office but mine is nowhere near as hip as yours.
I buy my ribbon at Ryco in Lincoln, RI. I think it may be worth a trip. Check them out at http://www.rycotrim.com.

That’s funny – I yearn for Austin, though I’ve never been there. I hear it’s a fantastic city and great place to live!

I get my ribbon from all sorts of places, but nowhere really inspiring: Michael’s, Joann, etc. And when they still existed, Wright’s factory outlet in western MA (sooo cheap and great!).

I appreciate the heads up on the color scheme and color-sucking colors! Hadn’t thought of that. I secretly dream about painting each wall a different color so that I have photo backgrounds in different colors We’ll see!

Love it. So simple. You make me yearn for my Austin days when we had a house–a house with a room all to my little old self. Sigh.

Where do you buy your ribbon? I’m digging the red print. Are they mostly for purse embellishing?

And for color schemes–one thing to remember is that you want to be able to really “see” your fabric. SO if you get any color that is really “intense” it can suck color from your fabric when you are looking at it. I read somewhere that as long as you have two white walls that come together in a corner and a true-lite you’re golden.
