In order to help herb plants grow its essential to pluck off those yummy little leaves. Today was harvest day- fresh basil and soothing sage.

Harvest on birdees :)

Prepping for Holiday Season

The holidays are vastly approaching which means I'm a very busy bee, working day and night on my handmade&one of a kind cards. 

(that's me: printing and painting away)

My goal is to have my thia, the small etsy account by November 1st starting with these holiday cards and some other special goodies ;)

 Anyone out there have an Etsy account? Advice? Opinions yay/or/nay?

 I haven't started an Etsy account yet... honestly I've been so apprehensive on creating one because I feel like I need to have lots of items made and ready to sell before hopping on the Etsy train.

Honestly I would love some feed back!  

P.S. this is as close you'll be getting to a SPOILER ALERT!!!! on how I make these beauties

Upcycle DIY

Hey there birdees,

I told you I'd be working on some DIY apartment projects, and last night my boyfriend & I got our crafty crafty time on!

Weather is getting cooler and one of these days that first frost is going to hit which would just devastate my patio plants (poor little babes).  So they needed a space inside my one bedroom loft apartment, only problem is there really is only one corner in the entire space that gives enough light to let them grow.
 
.......with the help of my amazing beau we took apart one of his old skateboards and transformed it into a chill shelf that is now home for our plants :)

      This was a somewhat simple project that took just one evening; the best part we got to collaborate and do it together

All you need is:
*skate board deck
*hemp & sturdy rope/yarn
*creativity
*love

         My plants look pretty comfy and settled after the move <3                  Tell me what ya'll think!?

Happy space= creative place

Tights season has arrived

So we're (meaning my boyfriend and two pups Lila&Mya) headed to the skate park, a typical morning off activity. Heading out the door I notice boyfriend is in corduroys , it's chiller than I thought. He sighs as I run upstairs to change which normally turns in to a wardrobe change. But alas.. Tights! 

Slipped them right over my Vans and out the door we went :) 

 Cheers to layers season!

Friday's DIY

Evening birdees,

So yesterday night I posted that it was my free day and that I'd be getting crafty.  Today I pulled out lots of scraps, like all those blue jean legs I have laying around from the many pairs of jorts (jean shorts) I made over the past few springs.  From leopard print, faded mom jeans and those dark wash Ralph Lauren jeans I chip choped; to those endless piles of old tee shirts.

Perhaps its a mix of colorblocking + some quilting piece work= a doggie bed cover!

My pups could not be more thrilled to be getting a cozy bed to call their own... not to mention my boyfriend will love the extra space we will now have in our queen size bed!

Still searching for a few more scraps to complete this doggie bed cover, but here is where I am at in the doggie bed making process.

Let me know what you think! (I think baby Mya likes it)

Don't be shy- enter blog giveaways

I have always been skeptical to enter into those big blogs who have those one in a million odds to win one of their giveaways... But guess what you may actually luck out!

I've never had the best of luck... Well ever. But today my trip to the postbox has completely changed my perspective.

This girl entered one of the Zoe Reports giveaways for the new skimmies collection by Jockey- and guess what... I won a free pair in the right size! So comfy! I think I could, can and will be wearing these skimmies everyday!

Cheers to optimism :) and skimmies

Well I'm almost a little bit embarrassed that it took me so long to put 2&2 together... But I'll just come right out and say it there's a blogger app for my iPhone and this girl just downloaded it! 

Get ready for a whole lot more posting
