Our over 100 ft. tall pine lives on ( https://catherinewhallsmith.com/2020/05/01/catherine-whall-smith-sees-lines-and-shapes-everywhere/ ) . . . attached to the “She Shed”.  We’ve repurposed some of the tree limbs into fences on either side of the shed that was just cleaned out to get ready for the VIRTUAL “2020 – Artists Open Studio of Northeast CT”.Even though most artist studios will be virtual this year, I decided to re-purpose the shed to hang a few of my pieces during this event. I will be updating my website in November. So stay tuned – Artist Open Studios of Northeast CT – November 27, 28, 29, and December 5 and 6, 2020.  https://www.aosct.org/artist.htm?id=KN5uDokT

FASHION UP-DATE:  Wear a mask, even if it doesn’t work – which it does – why not treat your mask wearing as a fashion statement like; In the 60’s – The hippie subculture promoted ponchos, moccasins, love beads, peace signs,  chain belts, polka dot-printed fabrics, and long, puffed “bubble” sleeve;

• In the 70’s – The Parisan peasant look included capes, turbans, puffy skirts and shirts with billowing sleeves;
• In the 80’s – Severely tailored military-style suits/padded shoulders were worn side-by-side with printed t-shirts, velvet tracksuits, and baggy harem pants or leggings.
•   In the 90’s – While not quite as loud as the eighties, the nineties took that attitude and tried to be a little smarter and a little classier.
•    In the 2000’s – Casual clothing and leisurewear were the trends. Think crop tops, hoodies, low-rise flared jeans, jean skirts, platform sandals or Ugg boots.
•  During the 2010 decade – Black boots, leather jackets, denim vests, sports jerseys, tapered sweatpants, drop-crotch trousers, land ayering shorts over leggings.
• So what are you wearing into the 2020 decade? . . Stay Safe . . . Smith Stitch Studio
