Mischievous Boys

Our cowboys come to the studio after school. They hang out, eat all my Oreo cookies (note “my”)…and dust cocoa powder about the kitchen while making their hot chocolate. Do homework, read…then get squirrely and start in on the staircase…..and me having eyes all around my head…..well naturally I caught them in the act…just as we were about to leave for home!




I know this video has been a long time coming for a lot of you! So grab your cup of tea & get comfortable… in your luscious leggings!


xoxo,

Good morning, Tracy….your boys are darling….I, too, have a son…he’s 15 and growing into such a fine young man….we’re so proud of him…..I’ve been remiss in letting you know how much I LOVE my Magpie Bohemian Duster….so much fun to wear….I thought about adopting your habit of “burger Friday” but not today….dinner last night was at a charming French cafe….foie gras, sea bass with beurre blanc, and apple tart for dessert….a wicked indulgence to be sure, but it was so-oooo good….I’m walking an extra mile this morning to make up for it…..cheers and have a great weekend!

I’m really enjoying having your blog back — especially the videos. There have been a few mentions in the comments about an alternate “tp” site. Does anyone mind revealing the web address? Have a great fall day everyone!

LOVES!!!…well…I’ve just finished snarfing down my cheeseburger…and ….happy cheeseburger Friday to all!…I mentioned to Rebbecca this morning that Sarah once again set out donuts now on Fridays….this is really getting be troublesome…all i need now is a big tub of butter to start dipping my donuts into. i am going to be on a 10 step plan in no time…again thank goodness for leggings….they’ll always be there with me….if not a wee bit more snug! CC…there are cookie crumbs anywhere my children are….seriously…I keep telling them there is NO cleaning fairy ( i am starting to wish there was) JULIE…good eye my girl, yes, the big “G” is missing…he gets picked up after the big guys….not sure i would get anything done if he came to the studio….gaaa! CAMEO…somehow they find my vanilla oreos….do you guys like these??…maybe the ring around my belly is not from breyers oreos ice cream maybe it is simply just an OREO ring. ( again troubling!?!)…..I have in front of me a pile of new spring shoes, new fabrics, new jewelry and my cheeseburger remains….as you can imagine…I am smiling.
xxxx…love to all of you…happiness and kisses!!!….BTW….thank you for all the chatter…i adore you for it!!
xoxoxo

Have to say….looked pretty good with your Gigi Jacket:) Although I still am missing the perfect accessory: YOUR lonnnng legs!!!!!!! Alas…My legs + YOUR guidance will have to do:)

Well, just LOOK at those glorious boys draped all over your studio staircase (which is also making its debut here on the blog, I believe…love the shots from previous collections)! I have to say I thought that was Gus in a heap on the landing in a black fleece until you mentioned that he wasn’t there, having those 4-year-old end-of-day flops they get? Glad to know he was busy with his own activities!
You know, I think the issue with leggings is that it’s generally hard to find tops that go well with them – some are too short (yikes!), some are too long or too slouchy…but NO MORE! Now that I have found your line, Tracy, with your “cover your bum” policy, I’m all set! And the chance to layer pieces over them and zip up some smashing boots – well, that just puts me over the moon! What a lovely opportunity to transition from my post-partum yoga pants (yes I’m still wearing them after 11 months…shhhh…they’re just to comfortable) to snappy, snug, just as comfy leggings!

Tracy,
Love, Love LOVE your blog!! My two daughters and I can’t get enough of Tracy’s INSPIRATION!
We have four cowboys of our own too. They roll their eyes when we girls are watching “Tracy”.
We are a homeschooling family, so we just added you to the curriculum. Home-Ec never had it so good!!
Thanks for sharing about the leggings, my husband calls them “The Body Sock”, and fondly remembers them from our teenage days together! You have inspired me to get them out again.
Big hugs…. Laura and the girls.

Hi Tracy! Ive always been a fan of yours. Your radio show was great. But I have to tell you,your blog is one of the best. Your talent and zest for life is contagious :-)

Your children are precious and look like alot of fun. I think “Mailbox” should be the star of a childrens book. What a rascal!!

Im a fellow artist from Saukville Wi and have found you to be an inspiration on my creative journey. Thankyou!!! You are a blessing.
