Too Cute...

Paisley and Posies is an etsy shop you must visit. They carry custom tutus and unique accessories for your favorite little princess. The bold youthful colors and dramatic silhouettes really set them apart from similar shops.

Crafting Update (with pattern)

There's nothing like the holiday season to kick my crafting motivation into high gear. I have finished quite a few projects so far. Thought I would share this really cute scarflette I made as a gift. I'm not really an expert on knitting patterns but this is generally what I did:

Using a bulky yarn like Jiffy Quick cast on about 24st. *Knit across turn purl across Repeat from * until it can wrap comfortably around your (or recipients) neck. Then begin moss stitch, for 5 rows. Cast off in moss stitch. Add buttons of your choice!

Enjoy and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Debut 2009

I had the wonderful opportunity of being chosen for a Cotton Incorporated competition called Chairing Styles. I designed the textile print for a fabric that was then used by a fashion designer to create a gown for Barbie and an interior designer who created a chair. We all got to walk the runway with our designs at FIDM's Debut 2009. It was a great experience and I am really proud of my design. Feel free to watch a video of the show on FIDM's website.

Keep this shade in mind when looking for items to add to your spring 2010 wardrobe and decor. Its a serene icy blue shade that adds a sense of modern softness. I think its a fresh, clean and crisp shade that's absolutely timeless.

The future scares me...

This fembot looks way too real for my comfort, I'm not quite sure how I like the idea of hot girls that can literally be programmed and turned off running around. She is a product of Kokoro, a division on Sanrio and her name is the Actroid DER2. Amazing technology with a frightful future!

A Great Cause!

Kitchen Gardeners International (KGI)wants you to help them Crush Hunger. KGI is working through its members and partners to plant school gardens around the world so that those in need can learn to provide for themselves. I beleive this is an amazing cause, because we are teaching them to be self sufficient. It is not a hand out it is the opportunity to change their way of life. If this is an issue close to your heart look into donating to KGI or find your own way to help fight this massive world issue.
