beautiful skies

Working on tons of new jewelry, morning coffee, the great outdoors (of my backyard) and the beautiful sky. I'm loving sitting at home and working on new items for my shop, but my need for travel is pounding in the back of my head. I'd love to get out and see a foreign city or some of natures amazing phenomenons. But until I get the chance to go somewhere I've never been I'll be sitting on a chair in my backyard crocheting away happy as ever.

saturday already

So, I haven't had access to a computer for the past couple days. I've been hanging with friends and family, taking a little vacation from home, but still working. I've started on some new projects that I hope to put up in my shop soon, some crocheted clothing (vests, shirts, ponchos) for the fall season coming up. I also, want to start making some more jewelry and actually putting it up for sale, so we'll see how that goes. And lastly I want to create a section of my shop dedicated to upcycled clothing and jewelry. I've started on that by dyeing some old jeans which are now shorts, and picking out pieces of old jewelry to made into something new and beautiful. As for now, this will all be postponed until I finish all of the orders that I got this week. Thank you everyone for buying handmade and taking the time to check out my blog.

weekly

recap of my week. fun food, fun shopping, fun work, good books.

new labels for my tops - new color on the bottom

I ship internationally! so far I've shipped plenty of orders to Canada and Australia

good finds at Crossroads in Santa Monica - lace, shorts, buttons, skirts <3

love this nail color - don't look too closely at the air bubbles and the dry skin from too much crocheting

9$ used at Bart's Books in Ojai, can't put it down

today's munchies - easy & healthy, veggies in toasted pita bread smeared with super spicy hummus

places - getty

Whether you're traveling to Los Angeles or need a break from the busy city, the Getty is always a nice place to visit. The architecture itself is one of the most beautiful exhibits. Also, it's free! You just have to pay for parking if you show up in a car.

I've been looking for more fun and adventurous things to do in my area and the areas around me, and though LA isn't the closest of cities to me, there are tons of things to do there and plenty of museums which are always fun and easy to find.

ocean air

So, I know I made this blog and then stopped working on it, but I can explain! I've been enjoying the beach and hanging with friends, gathering some of summers inspiration. But now I'd like to get back on track. I'm still not completely happy with the way this blog looks, but I'm going to try to post almost everyday until I find a way to make it look the way I want it to. If anyone has any tips or suggestions let me know! I've created a new about page for my shop which I am very happy with right now. I've also updated my facebook and tumblr pages. Plus I've mainly been working on new designs for my shop, I put a few up today and I'm very happy with the outcome! I'll continue to work on designs as my mind is racing with ideas, but no one will ever be able to take me away from the beach:

 Another new love of mine is riding along the Ojai Valley Bike Trail. I can ride north to the post office and south to the beach. I might just sell my car :)
