Hello, friends! Here's a little bit about life right now:
What are you listening to?
My current favorite podcast is "Stuff You Should Know." I just listened to an hour on patents. It should have been boring, but I was fascinated. Hosts Chuck and Josh dive deep on stuff that we all sort of know about but really ought to have a stronger working knowledge about.
Black on black on black. It's my favorite color to wear. It mixes and matches and allows you to wear obnoxious earrings. 😉
What have you bought?
Can we talk about something that I haven't bought yet, but I've been shopping for?
I'm trying to figure out the flooring in my future studio space (the attic of our new house). I'm thinking this hardy laminate from Home Depot is the way to go, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience/advice? From what I've read, it's supposed to take a beating and clean up easily.
What are you reading?
I'm heading back through Jane Austen — a ritual I take on every decade or so. I'm always amazed that I can be surprised by books I've read a million times before. The truth of the matter is that I know the plots inside out but depending on where I am in my life, different details strike me each time I read the books.
Who are you stalking…er, admiring from afar?
Susana McDonnell aka linocaveprints. Her carving and printing on yards and yards of fabric is fabulous geometric perfection. I swoon over her work and I think you will too:
So much yummy geometry. So impressive!
So, there you have it! That's the scoop on life around here at the moment. If you'd like more behind-the-scenes real life fun, you can always check out my vlog. I post a new vlog to my YouTube channel every Wednesday! This is the most recent vlog:
Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. I will be hosting a Facebook Live event on my Facebook page tomorrow (Wednesday, September 26) from 1-1:30pm EST all about the **new** ScanNCut. If you've got questions, I've (hopefully) got answers!
Hey Julie,
I have an Armstrong vinyl plank on my studio floor in my basement. I love it! It does clean up nicely. Noodlers ink is the only thing that has not come totally clean. (note to self-CAREFUL with bullet proof ink!)

I also think the vinyl plank flooring is the way to go. It’s the flooring of choice in new homes on the Alabama coast where it’s always humid and a lot of sand and water tracked in. Also, it’s more forgiving than tile when you drop something.

We’ve got a similar vinyl floor in my office at work – super high traffic, 2 years in & still looks great.

I had pergo in the kitchen of a previous house so have laminate experience. I loved it. It was easy to clean. You didn’t have to worry about anything with it. My last house had bamboo flooring in my studio. It too was pretty hardy but I never really spilled anything on it that required a serious clean up. This house I put wood lank tile throughout. I was done with carpet. Now with experience having all surfaces in my studio I would definitely go laminate, tile or a high in vinyl. The only problem with vinyl is some solvents could eat the vinyl surface. That’s about all the floor knowledge that I have!

I just put down an Armstrong vinyl plank floor in my studio. I love it. I went to a janitorial supply store and got Neutral Plus concentrate cleaner. You can buy Swiffer type mops that you can use your own cleaning solutions in. The floor cleans up like a dream and dries fast. My only recommendation would be not to get a textured plank…paint could get in the grooves making it harder to get out…
