:: m.i.a. ::

Good morning, my dears!! I just wanted to apologize that I didn’t get the Refashion Reveal up or the Friday Inspiration links yesterday… But my Sweetheart came home a day early, so its been a bit of a muddle around here with my schedule!! hehe. I will post everything late tomorrow instead… so stay tuned!

I hope you all are having a lovely weekend!! I’m off to enjoy the lovely, springish weather we’re being treated to! Hurrah!!!

Cheers!

:: dreaming of inspiration to come… ::

[ a new skirt from Frecklewonder in the background!! look at all the extra goodies too! ]

This is a super-duper quick post because I’m off to spend the day immersed in an art gallery! The reason for this trip is twofold: one, I need material for two gallery reports for my Design class; and I have never been to this particular gallery (more details later…). So I’m off to do some exploring, look at beautiful exhibits, and hopefully come back with lots of inspiration and sketches… er, I mean: homework! lol!!

Before going on to the Inspiration links for this week, I’d like to introduce you to a fantastic new blog: the Indie Wedding Guide! It is focused on “recycling, reusing, reducing” on your big day; making the event more about sustainable style. Its hosted by Gabreial of Vintage Indie and Emily of Eco Chic. Be sure to swing by a take a gander–even if you’re not planning a wedding!

[ I love this... so sensible! ]

:: almost there… ::

I’m quickly poking my head in to say a big thank you to your dear comments about my dress, as well as the exam well-wishes!!! I have one more review before Spring Break “officially” starts, but otherwise, I think the most worrisome part is over. Though my hand still is sore from handwriting Tuesday’s Design History midterm that consisted of twelve pages of essay questions. Oh my!

I had grand plans to show you another sewing project I’m working on, or perhaps a wee peek at the backlog of thrifted treasures from the past month. But alas, my schedule is quite full this beautiful, sunny morning! So those will have to wait until later. Here is what my day is looking like:

to do
+ work out
+ answer “business” emails
+ work on graphic design commissions
+ answer comments? *fingers crossed*
+ clean studio space (really needs to be done! lol!)
+ scan new images for VM features
+ catch up on blog reading
+ work on blog commission

I hope you all are having a lovely day! I am enjoying this beautiful, spring-like weather we’ve been treated to in the Mid Atlantic! *dances* I managed to sneak out for a couple hours yesterday afternoon and snap some photos of the sun-filled towns nearby. Hooray!!!

Cheers!

[ Emily’s news about Martha Stewart?! I can’t wait for that episode to air!!!

 

:: pause ::

Taking snippets of moments to rest. Think. Reflect.

Recharge my batteries for midterms. And then a blissful week of rest; I love spring break!

Thank you all for your super sweet words about my “Ugly Duckling”! I shall return tomorrow, with the Friday Inspiration links and perhaps more peeks at what these photographs are…

Cheers!
