Hunger Games are On!

Nikki and I have been devouring the Hunger Games series.  She will have to read it for school next semester, so we decided to get started early.  What a treat!  We are in love with Katniss, and torn between Peeta (me) and Gale (Nikki).  In celebration of our new found interest, I put together a tricked out tee as an homage to the Hunger Games.  From a discounted Gap tee shirt with a boat neck (love them!), it just took some scraps of fabric and a whole lot of zigzagging.  Can't wait to wear it now, and when the movie is released on March 23rd.  "Keep calm and may the odds be in your favor."

Lime Green is the Color of Monday

With Christmas in the air, and cool weather on the way, I am thinking about warmth, cocoa and NO cooking!!! Can I get an AMEN?  But I am also whipping out scarves and sweaters galore.  Ck these recent ones out. Lime green is the theme of the day!! A good way to brighten up a dreary Monday.

HO HO HO and away I go!

Bubble Scarves are the Best!

I love anything bubbled---bubble cuffs, bubble skirts, bubble coats.  Recently, my best buddy Pam taught me how to make bubble cuffs, so I have added them to some of my recent sweaters and hoodies.  The other day, it occurred to me that I might be able to add them to the fleece scarves I'm playing with.  So, with some thoughtful engineering, I have been able to create scarves with bubble ends.  The real fun?  Being able to use extra sleeves (cut off from tees to make our flutter line) and cuffs to create some really unique pieces. For this creation, we found the perfect tie dyed baseball fleece.  Scouting about in the studio, I grabbed some super soft red polka dotted minky and started my bubbles! The result is this baseball scarf, perfect for the year-round fan.  I love being able to stick my hands into the bubbles when it gets cold!!  Fun, fun!

Scarf, Anyone?

First, I want to apologize for being gone so long.  As a designer, artist, mom, daughter, wife, friend and utility player, I let my time get away without posting.  No more.  I will do better as I have some fun creativity that I want to share!


Recently, Nikki and I have been into scarves.  Maybe because we have had such a warm fall here in Atlanta, or just because we can't resist all the cool fleece patterns in the fabric stores- we are ready to wear them. So, we've been creating----both for the Etsy site and as gifts for friends for Christmas.  Ck our carwash style out, and get inspired yourself! We love this one for anytime you need a pick me up.
See it on Etsy--- we had to keep one, and made another for the site. http://www.etsy.com/listing/87050277/ladies-or-girls-fun-fleece-scarf-xxoo
