And the AFTER

Fabric Fabric Fabric!

Doesn't even look like the same space does it?

Studio

So, we've been in the new studio space since mid June. These photos were taken pretty much that week, right after the move. The photos here are pretty much the four corners of the room, it's one nice, big open space.

The first photo here is my corner. It's where it all goes down.

Notice my empty cutting table, not too cluttered floor (yes some clutter, but in a creative world there has to be).

So, we'll call this photo the before photo, as I am about to show you a more recent photo of my work space. In all it's glory.

Necklace

Notice the necklace on the bust that I made with the pendant I showed you earlier in the month!

This is one of the shelves of the two jewelry cabinets that I have at the store... Fresh Collective.

My blue shelf.

Window Display

Here are the photos of the display that I've had since mid August at the Fresh Collective. My new favorite fabrics on the skirts! I have this window until the end of the month... so merely days left :(. Bye bye window.

More Fun Fabrics

Most of these fabrics are for aprons (especially the psychadelic black and crazy ones) but some I loved so much I though I'd try skirts with them, like the beige and camouflage ones... I'll show you later. ;)

I've been slaving away in the studio for the past couple of weeks. Tons of aprons coming out AND I made a dress!! I love my dress. I've only made the sample which is full of mistakes and fixes so I'll show that one off when I've made more. I'm also going to try and make a blouse out of the same idea of the dress. So much to do and get photos of to show you!!!

Also, I've been slacking off on this blog thing. In my mind I would like to post at least 10 times a month. And it's now the 29th so it looks like you're getting hit with 6 posts in about 3 days.

Not a problem. I have things to show you.

See you in 5.

New Pendants in the Making...

I've been wanting to start making these for almost a year now, maybe even over a year? I'm finally on it! It's been a matter of finding all the things I needed to make them... but here we are. At least it's begun. I still need to find some lighter coloured wood.... a bit of variation.

For now here are a couple of pendants that I have yet to turn into necklaces. Coincidentally they match PERFECTLY with my new fabric that I showed you the other day... with the browns, blues and yellows.

That wasn't even on purpose. Can you believe it?

It's true.

Mmmmm mmmm good

As per summer tradition, here is one of the (not-so) little guys that was consumed while on holiday. (Notice that he doesn't even fit on the plate?)

I miss him so.

Now back to work.

I have begun work on all the skirts for the feature window coming up on the 16th. Very excited about that! After that it's straight on to the One of a Kind Show preparation. Full speed ahead and I should be able to reach my insane goal... or at least get close. We'll see.

Tons of fabric to play with and more photos coming soon!!!

It's Go! Time

Back home and back to work but so excited! I have so much new fabric it's a bit insane.

I'll have a feature window at the store (Fresh Collective) from August 16th to the 31st and I'm making a bunch of skirts out of this fabric!

I can't wait to see the finished products and will definitley post photos!
Some really cute fabrics for aprons I'll show you soon too!

Stay tuned.
