reality

it's hard to focus when a loved one is having health issues.
{i'm thankful it's not life or death}
but it still wreaks havoc when it comes around.

the last couple days have been a little stressful.
doctors visits.
new prescriptions.
trial and error.
it's exhausting and scary.

all i wanted to do was create something happy and fuzzy
to distract from the worry.
so i came home last night and laid out all the fabric i owned.

what could i make that would help us smile?

i started cutting and rearranging fabric until i got inspired.
i accidentally made what looked like and owl shape and decided to go with it.
i *love* animal pillows.
like love, love them.
so i went with it.
++and now i officially can't stop++

i went to the craft store and bought every remnant they had
and a metric ton of stuffing.

if this doesn't cheer us up, i don't know what will.


p.s. it already has.

dreams, goals and ice cream

i have big plans for myself and i'm pretty excited about them.

guess who already has a side project even though she hasn't finished her priority projects yet??

i've had this collaborative side project (regan design.) in the works for months now with one of the most talented artists i know. we have created so many amazing designs together, but have yet to make anything of them. our goal was, is and always will be t-shirts. I love the idea of wearable art, but haven't had access to a screen printing setup until now.

i. am. thrilled.
and you will be too. i pinky swear.

ps- i started making some hair accessories for my first series! these are not even the beginning of what is happening here in my little studio.
it's madness!

making.stuff.happen.

i'm on a journey to unify creating art and making a living from it in one of the most misunderstood places in the world- tacoma, wa.

all my crafting and sewing and drawing and gluing will be documented here to keep me in touch with reality and help me to create without limits. i'm giving myself one month (two at the most, i swear..) to finish my first series of projects and put them up to sell on etsy.

this will probably get interesting.

ready?
me either.
