A Little Spring Inspiration.

So I know I have been slacking with what I've been up to recently, and I just plain suck at taking pictures of what I have been up to, but here is a little bit of what's been inspiring me recently.

Also, another sewing machine?  Yep.  Just what I needed.  Now I have 4.  Oh boy.

So here is my new baby, isn't she beautiful?  Love it so much.

And of course the beautiful old Buffalo houses are constantly inspiring me.  The classic shapes and gorgeous color combinations are just so extremely beautiful.

I love them.

The boutiques I'm surrounded by constantly remind me of the stuff other people are making and producing.  (Also to get off my butt and get stuff done!)

And of course these little crocus babies trying their very hardest to make it spring despite the snow we had two days ago.  We're all hoping it's here too little babies!

Last but not least my little family.  My momma has been here all week and between my boy and my Momma I'm aware of all the support and love I have.  And of course my weasel princess loves me more than even understandable.  

On top of all of that, my boyfriend was just written the most beautiful review on a local music blog!  I couldn't be more inspired by what I have right in my own little world.

Projects to come!

Fun-A-Day Finale.

The finale of all of our hard work came to a conclusion last Thursday night, and it was a wonderful evening.  I was blown away by the creativity, talent, and humor used on all of the projects.  I took pictures of a bunch of the projects minus a couple, but you get the idea.

This is my boyfriend Alex's final conclusion to his project.  He wrote and recorded 28 songs each and every day for the entire month.  A project that took a good 3 hours minimum every day, sometimes more.  I was unbelievably impressed by this finished project, and couldn't be prouder.  

Here is the link to his bandcamp site to download the CD for free!  

The top two were done by my friend Bryan who painted a state a day and a law that still exists in said state.  So great!  

Above on the right is my friend Kristine's project who made a cartoon of a friend every day and little zines with all of the cartoons in them.  And of course little cartoon Alex & Kayleigh are next to each other - we look so cute!  

Another project was pictured above is a poster of February food haikus with illustrations, which turned out hilarious and awesome.  She also has done a bunch of comics all around Buffalo which are absolutely amazing and always blow me away. 

The pictures of the eyes was done by someone I didn't know, but I love the finished result.

The last is my friend Lisa made her friends into dolls.  The result was funny, and surprisingly spot on.  I love my Kayleigh doll, and I really almost wore that dress the very day!  It's awesome.  

And for my project I put them all in a book with the Before & Afters.  It turned out really well, and people were so supportive and complimentative.

Thanks again for everyone who helped with this project!  And stay tuned for more projects to come!

Bangs, Birthdays, & Butterflies.

This is what has been happening in my life recently.

New Bangs.  

Beautiful Friends.

Fancy Birthday Dinner Date.

So my birthday is on Monday, but we celebrated alittle bit early..... I just love birthdays!

My Babies.

Today's "Krazy Kraft" at the Library.
Coffee Filter Butterflies!  

As you can see it's been all work and no play around here....

But really, we did deserve a bit of a break after all the chaos that was February.

And I promise, projects to come next week!  Plus hopefully the wonderful addition of my Etsy Shop!  Woooo!

Enjoy this Spring Saturday!

BonBons & Stuff.

In the aftermath of a crazy month, I've still been trying to get back to a regular routine.

My yoga practice is back on track, my house is finally clean (it was getting pretty bad), dishes are all done, oven is painstakingly clean, and my clothes are (mostly) put away.  These things all took a back seat to the fun-a-day project.  As a result, today was spent doing all the above mentioned chores, and trying to get my studio back to normal.  Not this crazy mess of fabric piles it's become recently.

Feel free to judge my messiness.

Pretty awful mess.  You should have seen it before!  If you can imagine, this is somehow better and slightly more organized studio.  It's getting there.  

Of course I had to stop and make time for baking cookies too.....

Coffee Bonbons with Chocolate Frosting!

Extremely rich and amazing.  This is a new recipe I just tried out tonight, and they turned out so well!  Don't you love trying out a new recipe and they come out tasting great?

And then here is my cat.  He was just staring at me the for the whole process.  

Actually he still is.  Just so helpful. 

He also looks like he is judging me.  I'm not projecting right?  You see that too?

Oh Brucey.

Happy happy tuesday everyone!
