Dawwwww!! This made my day :) Thanks for sending along, Erica!!

A Plush Retreat!!

Oh my gahhhh.... a PLUSH RETREAT?! SHUTTUP! Apparently, there's an etsy street team called, "Plush Team" and they just had a retreat in Virginia this past weekend. Oh man... Amazing! Read more here. I'm just geeking out like whoa right now.

I feel soo goooooooooood

I've been working hard on custom orders, craft fair prep, outgoing orders & this newly acquired part time gig... OMG SO BUSY but SO HAPPY! Closure at last with long overdue unresolved personal stupidities & openness with new projects & friends. FEELS GOOD (yeah). I think it feels especially great because I'm doing all this while within my own personal 'home.' And I have kitties. I love them they're so cute!

LA Love, the first week

I've started my month long stay in LA. It'll be a mixture of crashing with friends & housesitting/cat-sitting in Silverlake. The first week has already got me high fiving a million angels!

custom tin can card order. I modeled the girl's outfit after victoria.
Finished these adorable Ls for Luke & Logan!
a deliciously geeky fabric find at michael levine
a revisit to moca for awkward dance/npr listening party
paper & type's first craft fair of the year!
& my favorite... cicLAvia! They shut off 7.5 miles of road from cars & I spent the whole morning/afternoon biking freely & happily. First I biked via Sunset-Grand to LA Live with Kevin for a UniqueLA meeting. Then I made my way via cicLaVia route to meet up with the folks. Then we went to the end, then back to Melrose & Heliotrophe for some SCOOPS!! Overall, I think I biked more or less about 20 miles which is amazing for me considering I don't really bike. YES!

Progress Report: L is for Logan

who loves trucks & loaders. He is also the twin brother of Luke (of the previous L)

Yep. Back at Casbah. What can I say.. it's my go to coffee shop. I spent the day finishing up some logo work for a dear friend & reading a newly-made friend's writings to gauge if we'd collab-create well together. I think it's a good match! If anything, it was a strange, serendipitous, enlightening introduction.

The fragrance of a new season arrived when I put on my first sweater

Mmmm... I'm reading my first Haruki Murakami book, as suggested by Kevin Biggers. That sentence punched all my senses in the face with fuzzy feelings & warmth. It makes me nostalgic for autumn. I guess it's currently fall-like in terms of temperature... but without the pretty leaves & with all the pollen. Gross.
