I made a bag this weekend that turned out so nice! I was inspired by this beautiful bag, by Morelle and followed this tutorial, on ‘Cut Out + Keep.’ I started a ‘make this’ folder and have added in tons of projects and tutorials I found over the weekend online - My mom recently bought me a sewing machine and I’m really starting to love it. I’ll be posting more about it here in the future and maybe make my own tutorial! I’m thinking of creating a notebook/pocket book to go with my DIY Planner template pages.

In other news, we haven’t sent out our wedding thank you’s yet. 2 1/2 months later! I’m sure that’s the hugest wedding faux pas of all time, but I’m hoping since they’re all handmade/stamped and have several 4×6 photos inside it’ll make up for it?! We started this afternoon and finished all of the cards and envelopes & I’m about halfway through all the messages inside, phew!

I love yellow and gray together lately, my sister’s having a wintery wedding and is thinking about yellow, gray and brown for her colors. I hope so! Below is a picture of my new craft room and part of our color organized bookshelf - didn’t think we’d have enough colors or books but I love it! (Read more…)

Aprile was nice enough to interview me on http://www.notpaper.net! Her analogy about the lollipop covered with ants is just too much, haha! I was curious and did a search on flickr, turns out Joybucket did a whole lollipop and ant experiment! So cute.

Below is an excerpt from the interview, read the whole interview here.

46 days to go!

I had the day off and spent most of it painting, I also updated my Etsy Shop and worked on my website a little! Plus, I just got a new freelance project, designing wedding invites and a wedsite- I love it!

These are the paintings I made today, and a video of the process!

I spent about a million hours working on our wedsite, I’ve realized in the last couple of weeks that I might like making blogs more than I am like writing in them.
