HELLO KITTY CHRISTMAS TREE...now I've heard of everything!  But I do have to admit this is kinda cute!  Must be in some great mall in Japan.  Have a great hello kitty kind of day!                                                            DEIDRE  

A VIEW OF CHRISTMAS...

This is a really FUN shot I  got a couple of years ago around the holidays when we had SNOW...what a hoot!  We don't get that fluffy white stuff often, so when  we do, the whole town kind of shuts down.  (Love that part...we get to...SLOW down for a bit)  LET IT SNOW! 
Could use a week of doing nothing...

CHRISTMAS RED...
How can you go wrong with this fabulous POP of color for the season?  Right now my kitchen and dining room are both RED...so I am always ready for the holidays. 
(My house is painted red too...guess I like the color!)
Do yourself a favor...buy something RED to wear for 2012...be BOLD!  STAND OUT!

A VIEW OF CHRISTMAS...

I WANT this for CHRISTMAS!!! is this a DRESS or what? Perhaps a tree...I think I'm in love with the designer that thought outside the box! Most EXCELLENT!

A VIEW OF CHRISTMAS...

Oh so chic...oh so so SOHO! I adore this uptown look of such sophistication! I want to live in a loft...in New York...well, maybe I'll settle for a Spring Fling in the Big Apple! Whatever your view...make it unique, make it special, make it FUN! HAPPY TUESDAY... on this 13th day of DECEMBER!

AND THE ANGEL SAID...

More angels...This one is my "CUPCAKE" angel...I think a calander is in the future...I just can't stop drawing them, I wonder what that means? Maybe I have a couple of 'angels' watching over me these days...(Mom & Dad). This is a hard time of year without them.Christmas is just not the same. No matter how old you get...having parents & family around at this time of year is best!

DRESS UP!

I have a series of 'party' dress wall hangings..that I'm going to putting up for sale on etsy...I have always loved fashion...but drawing dresses...ahhh, now that is FUN! Next week I'll be posting more of these, but I thought I'd give you a peek now at a couple... wouldn't these be great in a bathroom or dressing room?

A VIEW OF CHRISTMAS...

THINK COLOR!!!

Forget the traditional RED & GREEN...think pink, orange, purple...go wild...go over the egde...think exciting! Isn't this TREE spectacular? I just LOVE color...I mean if you're gonna get crazy with anything, why not your Christmas Tree? Next year, put aside your usual ornaments...pick 2 opposing colors...get some fun ribbons...lights and make it a new simple, but BOLD TREE!
Have a fabulous saturday...may your shopping go well.

PINK SATURDAY!

Pattern I designed called ' A Bit 'O Blush'...

It's that time again...to POST something PINK. You know I've never been that great a lover of PINK until a couple of years ago, but for me it has to be HOT PINK...nothing to pale for me. I'm rather a Bold, sassy & wacky woman...so I need the BRIGHTS for everything I create. Funny thing is I don't wear any colors to speak of...Black & White for me only. I like to remain a blank canvas for fabulous accessories! Here's to BRIGHT & BOLD BLING!
HAPPY PINK SATURDAY GIRLS!

A VIEW OF CHRISTMAS...

THINK HUGE!!!

I'm not sure where this is...but isn't it a fabulous way to share the spirit?
I say GO BIG this year...big trees...big ornaments...big gifts...big love!

TANGERINE TANGO!!!

THE COLOR for 2012!

For spring 2012 designers are inspired by diverse influences, showcasing a range of styles and lifestyles, from free and playful and light and breezy, to contemporary classics. Colors likewise reflect these differing moods, encapsulating vivid brights, soft muted tones and fun-loving pastels. "Consumers look to spring for renewed energy, optimism and the promise of a brighter day," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. "They have learned how color can help them alter a mood and provide the vitality and enthusiasm that enables them to experiment with new looks and color combinations." Provocative Tangerine Tango, an enticing juicy orange, is a vivacious and appealing refresher to enliven anyone's outlook this spring. Providing a jolt of energy, Solar Power radiates warmth and cheer. Fanciful Bellflower, a distinct ornamental purple, exudes uniqueness and creativity. Scintillating and sexy, Cabaret is a sensual and intense rosy-red —excellent choice for summer clothing and cosmetics.Sodalite Blue, a classic maritime hue, brings order and calmness to mind. Like an anchor to a ship, this dependable shade works with every color in the palette. Cockatoo, a tactile blue-green, is sure to make your spirits soar. This unusual hue adds a whimsical touch to the palette and will surely make a statement this spring.Margarita, a piquant yellow-green, lifts spirits with its refreshing and stimulating glow. Reminiscent of a blossoming garden on an early spring morning, fragrant Sweet Lilac evokes the fresh scents of summer. This delicate pinkish lilac adds a touch of romance to any wardrobe. Natural versatile neutrals add practicality to this season's brights. Driftwood, an adaptable blend of beige and gray with a slightly weathered feel, and Starfish, a perfect warm summer neutral, complement all colors featured in this season's top 10. For an ultra-bold vibrant look this spring, try mixing Bellflower with Tangerine Tango and Cabaret. Combine Margarita with Sweet Lilac and Cockatoo for a subtle alternative, or combine Margarita with Sweet Lilac and Driftwood for a more practical variation. Solar Power is best juxtaposed with Sodalite Blue. For a safer bet, add a natural neutral like Starfish to the mix. For over 18 years, Pantone, the global authority on color, has surveyed the designers of New York Fashion Week and beyond to bring you the season's most important color trends. This report previews the most prominent hues for spring 2012.
