Today's One Minute Tip comes from Judy Ross, who recommends framing a small (or large) collection of your personal art. (And don't worry, if you can't draw, she has some great ideas for you, too!)
• The Star: Judy Ross is a New York based designer and artist, specializing in home textiles: pillows, rugs, fabric by the yard, bedcovers and wall hangings, and furniture pieces such as stools, cubes and screens. Traveling in India to work as an independent textile designer, she developed a passion for the centuries-old hand embroidery technique known as chain stitch, used by men in the Kashmir region to embellish shawls with traditional paisley and floral patterns. She started by living on a houseboat on Upper Dal Lake while collaborating with the master embroiderers to develop a line of impeccably stitched contemporary wool scarves, and now her products are sold worldwide at high-end stores such as Barneys, Comerford Home, ThreadCount, Hollace Cluny and Lillian August. She lives in Manhattan with her two sons.

Seriously loving all the Judy Ross clips. Somebody give this woman a television show.
Yay, more Judy! Love, love, love.
That closing line about it not having to be famous, just something you love, is such great advice!
Lovin' Judy Ross. Hope she gives us a house tour soon.
Yeaaaah, as a working artist, I can't bring myself to frame and hang my own art in my home. Like most artists, I hate what I do not too long after I do it and to have it hung (semi) permanently seems like my own personal hell. It's the same for my husband.
However, having both worked as professional framers, our home is almost completely covered in framed art. Just OTHER people's art! Quality framing can be expensive, but it really should be done. It brings SO MUCH value to your home. Homes without art are half empty!
ditto. she's great.
fun and fresh. love the artwork~ thanks for sharing.
