Progress


There comes a time when procrastination hides it's ugly head and progress pops in to say hello. Recently I've just been trading one for the other on any given task, but as far as all my wedding stuff goes, there has been a huge success! Save the Dates are done! And I don't just mean the design, I'm saying they're tucked away into their shiny brown envelopes and just waiting for postage, then it's see ya later, get outta my life, time to move on to bigger and better things.... like invitations and RSVPs. Ugh. The agony of figuring those out is yet to come. So for now, I present my simple, handmade, completely unique, nobody else has 'em, custom designed STDs (that's Save the Dates in wedding-speak)! And when I said simple, I meant it. Also, my typewriter has no exclamation point, so everything that comes out of it is pretty matter-of-fact, which I'm rather fond of.


Honestly though, if you have Photoshop and a printer, you really don't even need artistic skills to make your own invitations. Although I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would, it's really annoying and time consuming. But artists aren't known for their sanity.

Tiny Dress Factory

I don't care much for children really, they're messy and loud and have complete disregard for anyone else's feelings or obligations. But boy are their clothes cute! There is something about a dress or a pair of pants that is just so much better when in miniature form. So in light of this, I've turned my sewing station into a one-woman factory of tiny dresses. Of course holding a full-time job, looking for new employment, planning a wedding, and being an all-around awesome person does take up most of my time, but I've managed to squeeze out four of these little adorables so far, and I don't intend to stop anytime soon. They will soon be sold at a store in San Francisco, which I will disclose the location of once the dresses are actually in-store, but until then, or during or after, I am selling these for $65. The second dress in line is refurbished from an old button-up plaid shirt I no longer liked to wear, or perhaps never wore at all. Point being, if you have an old shirt you don't like the fit of, but love the fabric... I'll turn it into a baby dress for you!
