Christmas, Christmas Time is Near....


In the words of the Chipmunks, Christmas time is near and that means Christmas cards! For those of you who don't know I also design cards when I am not sewing. I will be doing Christmas card designs for Christmas this year. If you are bored with the choices you are given at Target and Costco, let me know, I would love to come up with a beautiful design with or without your family photo! The reason why I am mentioning this now is because I need time to design, print and for those of you who love to send out Christmas cards but don't like stuffing or labeling, I can do that for you too!

I charge $30 for designing the card. Printing costs depend on the design and how many are printed. Send me an email with what you are thinking about and we can discuss price.

Here is an example of a birth announcement that I did that could be translated into a holiday card.

Does the internet ever end?

I don't know about you but I can search the internet for hours and hours! There are so many blogs out there I get so caught up going from one blog to the next. I guess you can also blame it on the fact that I get bored easily. I finished all of my current projects and I don't have a wedding, or shower to plan (would someone just get pregnant or engaged already?!) So anyways I love reading the blogs of some of my favorite designers, looking for new fabric, and finding new blogs of people like me doing the things they love!

My other search I am currently on is fabric stores in LA. Jimmy and I are heading West in a couple of weeks and I would love to find fun fabric stores out there, I know I will find some great stuff!

Well I am going to get back to my blog researching while watching America's Next Top Model (one of my guilty pleasures). I'll report back with some of my favorite blogs to get inspired by.

I love Wednesdays!

Tomorrow is Wednesday and it's my favorite day of the week. It's a strange day to love, I know but for this past summer it's been great because it's my day off of work (I work m,t,th,f,sat). My typical Wednesday in summer goes as follows:

8:30am Pilates class at Lifetime
9:30am Poolside at Lifetime for a few hours
Lunch
1:30 off to work on fun projects!

I am sad that tomorrow may be my last Wednesday to worship the sun but it will be nice to have all that time to work on projects since I won't want to leave the house it's going to be so cold! I hear from the farmers almanac that it's going to be, and I quote, 'numbingly cold'.

On my list tomorrow is a computer laptop bag, I can't wait to see what it's going to look like and I know that Stephanie can't wait for it (she just got a new mac and is in love).

I will be sure to post photos once it is finished!

Happy Hump Day!
