It was a weekend of mixed emotions. I was home for four days. For my moms birthday and for one of my childhood friends memorial. He died suddenly a month ago. Very sad. He was one of the people who looked out for me growing up and i have many fond and crazy memories of him.

Which doesn’t necessarily mean you have to hop on a plane or travel far at all. I started going to the central library more often or visit places in my neighborhood that Ive never been to.
Its easy to get in a creative rut when your daily routine is consistently the same. For me lately i have been sewing and making the same things everyday.
So I’m going to New York to to work on an art project with one best friends who is one of the most talented and fantastic people i know.. I have not been to the the city in a decade, so am looking forward to this trip and project and all of my New York pals Ive been missing for far too long.
Ill be updating while im gone.
Where do you find inspiration when your in a rut?
And what is your favorite city to visit?
By the end of the day tomorrow i will have a new website & you might have already noticed my blog is looking a little different as well. then soon after ill have a new shop.
These things always take forever, esp since im so picky about visuals.
I hope you guys like the new look of everything. I love my old site but it was just impossible to update and thought it was time for a simple streamline sort of look.
And wanted to make it very easy to navigate.
Anyway let me know your feedback.
