random friday
~ Latest journal entry for alphabetica round robin (trying to get caught up!) Over the Rhine lyrics surrounding the photoshopped butterflies:
Dip your hands in colors
while the young night flutters in on you,
And fingerpaint me pictures of all you see….
~ Little pink suitcase I picked up thrifting in Austin with my sweet friend Stephanie. Don't you love it?! It's the perfect purse size for carrying essentials plus a magazine or two. It is probably best that we don't live in Austin anymore. I'd be so broke all the time.
~ Some vintage patterns I also picked up in Austin. I'm freaking out over the cuteness of those skirts.
~ No picture, but exciting news! One of my designs is going to be used on the cover of a book of short stories being published by Random House Canada. I've seen a mock up, but I can't wait to see the actual cover.
Have a great weekend and have fun creating!
Wow, congratulations! I can't wait to see it! I'm starting a business to do crafty stuff! Its very exciting!

Oh my gosh and I think of all the patterns i threw away - I am so old my patterns would be considered vintage!
Love the suitcase by the way!
