    Jayne's Studio

    • Jayne's sewing area after
      Jayne's studio was so fun to work on. Who wouldn't love to be amongst beautiful fabrics, beads, trims and creative company! Jayne is the creative handbag designer behind www.designsbyjayne.com . She is also a wonderful mother + wife. Her story brings tears to my eyes and I'm proud to be a part of her life. (Look for her story in a future post) Jayne gave me a ring when she was ready to take her biz to the next level... take a look, I think she's got it going on! Take a look at the BEFORE + AFTER PHOTOS yourself...

    Does Technology Really Make your Life Easier?



     


     

    Omyth

    If you are a new reader a big ol' WELCOME to you, along with a quicky explanation that I have a radio show along w/ my gal Brandie Kajino.  We chat about life's O myths... Organizing myths that is!

    A tad ironic that the start of the O myth today had some technological difficulties... and of course I panicked while Brandie remained calm.  So if you listen to the show, and you should, just skip the first minute or cover your ears until we get the ball rolling! Listen Here

    We interviewed Wendy Piersall of www.Sparkplugging.com and www.SparkplugU.com.  Is she a Supermom?  Does technology really make her life easier?  I was a bit surprised that she considers e-mail to be the vein of her existence and yet her laptop is her fav piece of modern technology.  Remember when email was new + fun + "you've got mail" elicited a flutter of excitement? Now... not so much.

    We also chatted about vintage technology.  Here is a little pic, ok big pic, of Brandie at last weeks Barn House Flea Market, w/her rotary dial find... courtesy of Queen of Tarte.  I think she should tie a lil' ribbon on it and hang it on her armoire knob.  She thought she may put a photo in it.  Hey... I have an idea, oh I'll need to tell Brandie this one... we can put our cute little O myth logo in it!  I like that idea the best of all... Brandie what do you think?
