Stuff that is happening...

Wow... school has been crazy.  Well first it was really crazy, and then it was spring break, so I snowboarded and sat on my bum, and shared a new pillow case DIY with you, but that was all...

I have a small DIY to share with you this week (super easy, very cozy - you'll like it!) but then that's it!  BECAUSE... I've been working on something else...

in 2 and a half weeks, a photoshoot with the amazing Kelsey White of One O.A.K. Photography, Freeravin Designs, and some beautiful models and a hair and makeup artist too!  Words cannot contain my excitement!

So there is a slow in patterns for the next couple weeks as I try to get things finished for photographing, and then patterns will come soon after...  GET PUMPED!!!

Check out this beautiful pic Kelsey took with Freeraven a little while back...

How pretty is that picture?  How lovely is that jewelry?  How lucky am I to work with these guys?  VERY!

Thrift Shop

So... Over the summer I started reading the book Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion and became inspired to start my clothing challenge.  No buying anything new for 6 months... and I did it.  I bought some new things in December for birthdays and Christmas... and now I think I'll go another 6 months without anything new... 

Since all of my shopping experiences lately have been at thrift shops... you can imagine how much I love this song...  Usually, my taste in music is a little more calm than this... but I can't listen to this one without busting out a smile.

Fair warning... there is language in this song that some (many?) do not enjoy.



Now I feel the need to go thrifting.  Haha.

V-Day!

Hey all!  I just got a bunch of left over product back from Kansas City Kitty... so it's time for a SALE!

There is nothing better than buying the person who makes your heart warm and fuzzy... something warm and fuzzy for their head, neck, etc...  Time for some knits, friends!!!

I'll be listing more items as I have more time to photograph and get on Etsy.  Sale is on all the way to Valentine's Day!

YAY!!!  Coupon code:  VALENTINE

Now get to shopping!

AAAAAND...  EVEN BETTER!
This Valentine's Day is the 15th anniversary of V-Day... a day to support women who have been victims of violence around the world.  And this year is the ONE BILLION RISING campaign.

This is how it figures... 6 billion people in the world.  3 billion are women.  1 in 3 women in this world have been victims of rape or violence.  That is ONE BILLION women.  Pretty scary thought, no?  So...  Join the One Billion Rising campaign... this Valentine's Day is your opportunity to Strike, Dance, Rise and demand an end to the violence.  In other words, take some time to go outside and dance a little!

You might need a hat to keep you warm while you're out there getting your dance on...  just sayin.  Read more about it onebillionrising.org

Perfect Timing

Other than a few headaches here and there, I made it almost a year without getting sick.  Fingers crossed my sore throat is gone and my voice comes back by the time I make it over to this little event!
