happy belated SPSO!!!

i finished mini sasha for my friend megan last night and he was excitedly given to her at lunch today. i used a retro simplicity pattern as inspiration, but drew my own pattern and hand-sewed it all. (since i was too lazy to set up the sewing machine) my favorite part was tying the giant yellow bow! (dyed silk shantung from m&j trimming) if anyone ever has a job open for tying big lovely bows, i'm your gal.

megan is such a fun(ny) and cute friend, i hope he ends her birthday hoopla week with lots of smiles and love. (NERDY)

pink woodland

i saw this incredible custom designed kids room on craft magazine's blog (originally from cup of coco)--SO freakin' sweet. (as in little girls cute, not napoleon dynamite awesome) my favorite parts are the little owls everywhere and the basket (bushel?) of felt apples. the tree with the little secret door is really great too. make sure to go to cup of coco to see all the pics, as there are so many amazing details that i can't begin to write about them all!

here's to a new tomorrow.

it's amazing how different the world seems today. it's almost like you can feel everyone's excitement and hope for the future. i think after so much craziness this past year, people are hoping for a change...and genuinely feel it's actually possible now with obama's win. it sounds extra optimistic, but i am really hoping everyone's good nature lasts for awhile...it's really quite nice when [most of] our country actually unites together, as per our name suggests.
