There’s lots going on over here at “Einmo Studios Central” these days. With my new book release and the new Craftsy class launch, I’ve been busier than a bee tending five hives. (I just made that up.) So, first things first. Judi Madsen quilted my Orange Zest

Welcome April! I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m happy a new month has begun. March certainly “went out like a lion.” We had a surprise snowfall this past Sunday. It was supposed to rain all weekend, but the temperatures were cold enough that

Frohe Ostern, which means Happy Easter! Such a glorious time of year and so much to feel joyous about. Spring has sprung in abundance here in Sindelfingen — the forsythias are the most exuberant shade of yellow, and the daffodils and tulips are in full bloom. I even saw some

Made ya look! (smile….) Ok, so it isn’t carpet like floor coverings in a house. Personally, I think this kind of carpet is even better. The stone pathway seems even more enchanted than usual to me. For weeks now, I’ve been watching a portion of our backyard come
