a sneak peek

...into my crafting chaos lately.

ps. the bridy decal is actually a dark woodgrain pattern, but it looks black in my photo!

pom pom vines

Handmade tissue paper pom pom flowers and paper leaves from Once Wed. This reminds me of the time I made a giant pink pom pom, attached it to my head and called myself a flower on halloween : )

After many late nights watching the "crafters corner" on the shopping channel and searching for endless youtube demonstrations, I gave in and bought myself the cricut expression! It's a machine that can cut simple or complex shapes out of cardstock, paper, contact paper, vinyl, fabric, etc. Since I am a graphic designer, I didn't want to be limited to only the shapes that are included in cricut's cartridges. Luckily, there is a program called SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) that allows you to cut from .svg files - meaning, anything I can design in illustrator can be cut on my machine!

Stay tuned for some crafty creations!

kiddie style

The other day I had a nice stroll down South Granville and visited some of the shops. After dreaming of fancy kitchen goodies in Williams Sonoma, I stopped in at Pottery Barn Kids. I fell in love with so many of the bedroom accessories - is it bad if I wanted some of these for myself? : )
