sleepy

for the first time... ever, i find myself wishing for more hours in the day.

my studio looks like an episode of hoarders.
it's pretty frightening.

i started making 2 owl pillows for a customer and am really excited on how they're turning out.
i had to take a quick break from them to make mackenzie's bday presents
{which are awesome)
but i will continue with them tonight so i can post some pictures.

here's what i made for the birthday girl
{she better not read this before i see her...}

this scarf is dropping f-bombs :)


felted flower brooch with zipper leaf

thick headband with felt, fabric and zipper flower
two! jersey arm cuffs with felt, fabric and zipper accents
{diamond and cassette tape}
tree pillow!
it says mp + gi on the tree for her and my brother <3
adorable.
made with felt, fabric, buttons and a ton of hand sewing
plus bleaching, gluing and a little bit of crying :)
it was a labor of love.xo,meggers

oops!

i guess i took a little blog vacation.

not intentional, of course.

my mind has been twisted and wrapped around so many 'to-do's' i can't remember what i'm supposed to be doing.

i've found it very meditative to start drawing everyday.
i used to do it all the time, but sometimes life can get in the way.
i think i'll use some of these to get back into watercolor painting.
i found some really awesome paintings floating around the internet and i got inspired.
i haven't used this medium in a very, very long time.
and even then it was for various art classes and not because i wanted to be using them.
they're difficult!
{not unlike me}

i'm just going to dive in.
what's the worst that could happen, right?

my indieTACOMA project is moving along!
it's all happening so fast and with relative ease,
but i'm not as scared or frantic about it as i thought i would be.

wait until i set the date of the first show and have to go through all the vendor applications.
i'll probably be singing a different tune. :)

i took a couple shots of the venue where the craft show will be.
quality is low because of the silly iphone camera, but you get the picture.

looking toward the back of the speakeasy

from the stairs to the front of the venue.
this space is great.
open and airy with tons of natural light.
if all goes well we'll probably be using half of the upper section for vendors as well.
my initial goal was 25 artist, but it may be possible to fit more than 30.
that would be pretty neat.

actually, this is all pretty neat.
