This face and hair reminds me of my momma. I'm going to do another one with some moles, so it could look even more like her :)

Take It Easy Journals

My first 2 color print! These hardcover blank journals are now available in my Etsy shop - here.

I'm going to work on a "This book belongs to:" sticker to include with each book.

Coming soon to the shop!

Here are some of the items I brought back home after Art Star Craft Bazaar. Unfortunately I forgot my camera home, so I don't have any pictures of my table or goodies. If you happen to have a picture of my booth, I'd love to see it!

Vintage inspired t-straps completed!

I made the uppers and then had the heels professionally put on. Now I just need to learn how to walk in high heels and then I'll be good to go :D

Some new goodies from the garment district

(click on the photo to see what's what in Flickr)

I've pinned a few places on Google maps in the garment district and beyond worth checking out for textiles and craft supplies:

If you know of any other good places for supplies let me know and I will add it to this map. I will keep updating it when I find new places. Some of these places are just open during the week and not on weekends, so call them to see if they are open before you trek out.

book cover tests

I'm trying out some new book cover designs. This apple design came out a little too Italian/ Mexican flagish for my taste but still kinda cute. I think it would make a good recipe book.
