Today I received my much anticipated custom hoops from Gretel Girl.  She contacted me a while back about using my photograph for inspiration on some of her hoops, and I quickly said yes.  I think her work is outstanding, super high quality, creative & original.  All of the things that make a great artist.  She was so kind to even send me two as a gift!  I dont know which one I love more.  I hung one in my sewing room, and one by our bookshelf next to another friend's painting.  Now I will see it everytime I pass through to my bedroom.  She has a few others in her shop that I would like to collect over time, especially this one.  She has even more awesome work on her website. And even her packaging is pretty adorable with vintage pattern paper and striped twine.  Thank you so much Tracy for finding my photograph inspiring enough to work with, and for sending me these two very amazing pieces of artwork. 

And how ever so funny, I was just clicking on her sites to share the links, and noticed she posted a little blog about me yesterday!  how sweet! 

PEACE,

Laura
