A sneak peak...

I am super excited about the fashion show this weekend, at Bragg's Pie Factory. This lovely event is part of The Second Annual Grand Ave Festival. It is a full day of art, fashion, music, and culture. I have been sewing up a storm to get ready, and my studio bares the mess of fabric and threads to prove it. I love the latest fabrics I have acquired and stashed away for Fall. With a new season comes new inspiration and ideas for color and design. I have been working with deep jewel tones, bold patterns, and rich texture, all with a vintage flare. Here are a few photo to give a sneak peak at the newest pieces in my fall collection. Hope to see you Saturday!

Bay Area Maker Faire 2010

Gearing up for summer with a quick trip to San Francisco! Just as the school year ends and my crafting season begins, I am going to go get motivation and inspiration at the Bay Area Maker Faire, a 2 day handmade, D-I-Y, crafts, festival that features the the best in innovative projects and processes for those who love to make things. Check it out at makerfaire.com. Make and Craft Zine, two of my favorite quarterly reads, are parents to this event. The whole weekend is dedicated to the D-I-Y lifestyle and the makers who live it. I will be embarking upon this adventure with my long time craft accomplice Lacie Murphy of Laciebug Designs! We plan to see it all and do as much as one San Francicso weekend will allow. It is sure to be a delightful debauchery in technicolor crafty-ness!
