the dailies: sian keegan.

Whee! Another Daily! In case you’re unfamiliar, The Dailies is a series in which your favorite artists/designers take us on a tour of their daily life. Today’s lovely spotlight is the life of Sian Keegan, one of my VERY favorite pattern designers and crafter extroadinaire. I first fell in love with Sian by reading her blog and the love blossomed from there. I’m so so excited to share her day with you! Take it away, Sian!

I wake up at around 6:30 with this little dumpling, Ollie.  I get ready for work and then take him for a quick walk around the neighborhood.

I walk to the 15th Street/Prospect Park F train stop around 9:00.  This is the view from the subway.  I spend a lot of my day on the F train!

I make it to work around 10.  I work at a textile company in midtown Manhattan.  I start the day working on some color stories for our Spring 2010 collection.

I was so happy to get an invited to the Anna Sui Spring 2009 show in Bryant Park…I go later tonight but don’t bring my camera, doh!  I found a photo of one of my favorite prints.  I love that Alexander Girard was part of the inspiration for the collection.

I get home to Ollie around 9.  I play with him for a while to get the craziness out of him.

I work on a little craft project, and then we head to bed around 11:30.  We fight over the pillow for a little while before falling asleep.

Ohhh, what a dear Sian and Ollie are!

  2. yes – they are very intriguing. Give me a few weeks to set everything up properly here in London and I could also be ready for a daily!

  6. I’ve noticed that a lot of artists seem to have pets! I wonder what it means…? Maybe I need to get a puppy to spark some creativity. ;)
