Whenever something big happens and I start to feel super sad / down / helpless, it always helps me to create something that has a positive message to it. It might sound silly, but forcing myself to find a positive message during a less-than-positive time makes me a little more hopeful. I wish I didn't ever feel the need to make these things. But here we are again.

My friends over at Vintage Lace are running a Holiday/Winter round of fabulous fabrics and they sent me a few to play with. Bonus on this round for me was that I actually designed one of the prints (offered in two colorways) that is available in this round. I'm pretty sure there's nothing more fun than sewing something that you've made yourself!!
Woohoo! Another pattern release from Made for Mermaids just launched yesterday and it's a good one. This cutie is called "Mama Nina" and she's a raglan high-low swing style dress that will make you swoon. For real.

Not going to lie, every time I see one of my friends post something that they've made with Pretty Posh Prints fabrics, I get super jealous. Brenda seems to have all of the pretty fabrics! So when she asked if I'd want to help her promo her "Sierra" double brushed poly for the Fast Finger Sale that's happening over there tonight....I didn't hesitate.
When we received the schedule for the Cricut Conference, it said that the first night would involve a cocktail party. SHIT. Cocktail party? I don't have any cocktail dresses in my closet...because I have this issue of making a dress and only wanting to wear it once, and then giving it away or selling it.
Empty closet. Fabric that I've been dying to sew into something. And a short schedule before I had to leave for Salt Lake City. I decided not to go as formal cocktail as I normally would, and went with more summer vibes. I AM OBSESSED.

Thursday was a new release day for Made for Mermaids....and I'm just a little bit behind on the party. But I still want to share with you about Mama Tara. The pattern is still totally on sale thru Sunday, July 30, so I'm not late. I'm just coming in as a backup reminder!
I totally planned it out like that..............
Sharing my BeeBox make every month is becoming one of my favorite things! Surprise fabric mail is so fun and the challenge of making something with them is so good for my creative spirit. I also adore the little cards that are sent in each box. I feel like Allison and Lauren are my bffs when I read them, and that they've put so much thought into what they've sent each of us BeeBoxers.
One of the coolest blogging experiences to-date was when I was contacted about this Cricut blog tour. They wanted to get a bunch of us sewing bloggers together to see what we could come up with for projects that involved their iron-on products.
Considering that my whole business is built from the iron-on and HTV world, I couldn't say no to this opportunity. And really I couldn't say no in general, because it sounded so fun! I was officially counted in!

Oh hey! It's release day with Patterns for Pirates! And we are bringing you things to cover your bum, my friends. We have a set of pants patterns called the "Linen Loungers" and the "Little Loungers" and they are a woven pant for women, boys and girls. Can I get a whoop whoop?

SEVEN YEARS OLD.
Seven. How? And why? And how?
I don't even understand how time has flown with this little man...but somehow we are here, celebrating his 7th birthday.
