feeling blue... and green

A few images from my week:










I did a little sewing, a lot of thrifting (and some estate sale-ing), tons of embroidering, had a sick day (but no barfing), and finally did some gocco-ing.

The days here in Chicago have been very gray, and I'm not usually one to complain about it (grey days are my favorite!) but they do not make for good photos. So I was actually thrilled when the sun peeked out about an hour ago and I was able to take most of the pictures you see above.

I planned to have a shop update this weekend, but I haven't been able to take pictures of any of the vintage stuff yet, and ended up having a lot of custom orders to work on, which depleted my sewing time. I'm going to try to at least get the vintage stuff into the shop this weekend, and maybe work on the handmade goods for next week. I am SO not complaining about being busy!! I remember the days when the ideas would not come, and the frustration I felt because I really wanted to create... but had no inspiration. Now it just seems like there aren't enough hours in the day. And I'm quite happy about that.

Tonight, Jack and I are going out to dinner with some friends, tomorrow is a big field trip to my old stomping grounds for some serious thrifting with my sister-in-law; and then Sunday I'm working on the shop.

I hope you have a nice weekend, too, sweetiepies!

xoxo

I love that woodgrain fabric! I'm currently on a hunt for some myself.
