MR loves blood...

Mrs. Bloodmilk, who makes jewelry I covet, linked me in this picture & I had to share. I love seeing a peek into her space and where the piece I embroidered for her now lives. I spy with my little eye some Charmaine Oliva & Ellen von Unwerth too.

Heres the winking sample I made for her & the original piece...

Thanks so much for sharing Jess!

Now seriously you must, really right now, check out the BloodMilk blog- it's full of the best finds, surreal photographs, and great writing... go!

Happy weekend to you! 

lately + this week

 
Loved crafting with Virginia for our Renegade Brooklyn Booth! Lots more pics, but will share sneak peeks as it gets closer.  We both are really into decorating the booth and making a super fun environment- can't wait to see it all up!



Making little letters in the studio lately....


Jeremy working on a lazy Sunday.  We love sitting at our little table, looking out the window at all the people and street cats roaming about and sipping tea...

Painting pottery at Lorrie or Lenny Mud's studio. She gave a great talk on SEO & Etsy for the NewNew Etsy Team.

Happy to spend some time with Virginia's cat, Buggles, who is the goofiest thing ever! Those buggy eyes, crumpled ears, and silly cat tongue!!

This week....
+ 5/7 1:30 pm DONT FORGET! I'm teaching an Embroidery Class this Saturday at Pins & Needles. It's a beginner class and we'll be making Zodiac Embroideries!! Would be a supper fun Mom & Daughter activity for mother's day, or just a fun, crafty afternoon. More info on the P&N blog here, and a my earlier post on the class here. Hope to see you there!!

+ 5/ 4 I'm going to a writing workshop at Etsy with Michelle, who does all the Keep It Weird posts. I'm down for any opportunity to improve my skillz...

+ 5/7 So excited to see the work & hopefully the artist too, J.L of Blood Milk, in the group show, Alchemically Yours. Any local peeps wanna come with?

happy weekend...

My favorite, most inspiring finds from this week:
+ inspiring to read about peoples passions in the comments of this Blood Milk post

+ so happy for my friend Katrina who I just learned is one of PDN's 30 of 2011! woot woot!

+ Liz Kuball's post about doing what you love, Regardless, made me feel inspired about making.

+ this Modish post helps with my struggle dealing with distractions

+ I requested tickets to go to a Martha Stewart show taping with a few friends. so excited to see the Queen of Craft do her thing in person!

+ fell in love with Jónsi & Alex. You must watch the videos!! Can you imagine your own outdoor garden to cook in complete with a little bunny?

+ always inspired, & maybe a bit smitten with, Mr. Sagmeister. His Ted video got my wheels turning. I've really been needing some space from my work in order to have a fresh start and new ideas.

Happy Weekend Everyone!!! Any great finds from your week or awesome weekend plans?
I hope I get to see the Armory show and finish up a bunch of embroidery projects...

the witch in me...

I know Halloween in over, but I wish it wasn't I love dressing up, baking pumpkin pie and visiting old farms on blustery days. I though I'd share my Halloween costume with you.  It was created around this little witch hat made by Chad of Mon Petit Fantome (you must check out his music too!)  I loooove it so much and am tempted to wear it always. It's so perfect and cute and really made my outfit.

I had fun putting together the details... a cast bat skull, a sacred heart necklace,  of a thousand sorrows, by Blood Milk (one of my favorite things to wear!!), a vial containing crystals and coral, feathers, a string of tiger eye stones, and a little drawstring bag filled potion-y.

 

came home to my own little dæmon, bug in a little pumpkin bandana.
