Fix You.

Fix You.

The Gulf Coast fundraiser was a huge success!  We made over $3,000 from just shirts, snacks and raffle tickets.  It feels so good to know that your community cares about the outside world.

I created a bag for the fundraiser, and sold it today.  It's a hand painted (yes, it took forever) double sided cotton bag, and I couldn't be more proud.  My first customer!  Knowing that someone I don't even know is loving and wearing something that I made with my own two hands is such an incredible feeling.  I got so much adoration for my logo, and it feels so gratifying to have my work appreciated, especially when it's for a cause like this.

I'm on top of the world.

This is a necklace from over the summer, made from metal hinges and a key shaped ceiling fan pull from Lowes.  I hadn't put it on the blog yet, and I'm really proud of it, so why not.

I'm in the process of making a shift-like dress for spring (which is not so much sneaking up but barreling down the street unannounced, egads!).  I'm using this incredible pale celadon polyester shantung, but the design issue is that I don't have much of it.  I love this stuff.  It has so much character.

Above is a necklace/scarf made from hand painted strips of cotton jersey knit.
