I have had a few people order some yardage of my fabric in the past year, which is always super exciting. However, I've never had the privilege of seeing any of my designs in a finished product until now. <br />
<br />
Check out the link for the first finished product I've ever seen that included my fabric! It's a quilt made with zombie fabrics no less! Good god I love that. <br />

Don't ask me why. It was a weird project and I tend to like those. Anyway today, I finally saw the pics he took and they are great! (I can't <span style="font-style: italic;">believe</span> it actually fit.)

Once again, I've neglected this blog in favor of <a href="http://www.blogger.com/reddit.com">reddit</a>, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/spoonflower.com">spoonflower</a>, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/hulu.com">hulu</a>, and <a href="http://twitter.com/">twitter</a>. After working what seems like all the time, I don't usually have the energy to get creative with words for you. I can barely sentence! :sigh:
<br />
<br />Nonetheless, here are some short sentences which tell you what I've been up to and what I wish to be up to. That was the longest sentence in this post.
<br />
<br />Here's this: I want to make many! It looks wonderful and fragile!
<br />http://www.moredesignplease.com/moredesignplease/2011/3/4/diy-doily-lamp.html
<br />
<br />Here's this fabric I designed! I like Russian nesting dolls a lot and wanted to make some fabric that looks similar to my Matryoshka tattoo.

<br />I am so in love with Spoonflower and its infinite possibilities. Maybe I'll actually purchase something from them larger than a swatch sometime.. So far, I've been really happy with the quality of prints they offer, I just can't currently justify paying $18/yd. You can see my shop <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/checkerboardskirt">here</a> if you like. If you have never perused this site, I <span style="font-style: italic;">highly</span> recommend it. Just don't look at the prices. They recently revamped the site (it's particularly noticeable on the shop profile) and I love it even more now!
<br />
<br />Lastly, here's a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/61634238/hat-crochet-pattern-dinosaur-hat-pattern?ref=sc_1">dinosaur crochet baby hat</a> pattern I found recently. Talk about falling hard for something. This hat is FREAKING ADORBS. Below is a crappy phone-shot of mine. I've got multiple pregnant friends in my life right now and they're all getting one of these badboys.

On Friday the 18th, we had our Etsy Craft Party in honor of Etsy's (sixth?) birthday. It turned out great. We met a lot of people with many different interests and talents. I repeat: it turned out great. Here are some pictures my roommate Sara and I took of the event.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">We received a box of party supplies from Etsy because our event was one of the top 50 on Meetup.com. (18th to be exact.) This box had some really cool stuff in it, which we were able to share with our guests. We got a silk-screening kit, a <span style="font-style: italic;">ton</span> of glass paints, and various etsy and Pabst themed handouts.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a style="font-style: italic;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZH3CbFlB7DUETFjI37C3Wee2Rxz_OmIWBPuZir0ULTgq8qemkYiUXgsYAaKdSJQunyVMWoG-SUkE9psK8n3Mqn1ksqMZV3LgaE_ZGulS_yp2IUnzmh5BYX7URpaHEaKZAUpDQoWVDwGZQ/s1600/DSCF5317.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZH3CbFlB7DUETFjI37C3Wee2Rxz_OmIWBPuZir0ULTgq8qemkYiUXgsYAaKdSJQunyVMWoG-SUkE9psK8n3Mqn1ksqMZV3LgaE_ZGulS_yp2IUnzmh5BYX7URpaHEaKZAUpDQoWVDwGZQ/s320/DSCF5317.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486772042837421954" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Here I am <span style="font-style: italic;">freaking out</span> about the kit we got.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXBkOjiY07CkViWlyEg1F-ACPIXGBdElnT461TlGSN-_yiY101Fitcfph8JHyNtgEu2iXfCt-NePI6WsxfAgxN_C6gahkd302RDejiKvxNqGbGfZJCMt-KUcvshyZOE1mfwJLpWhJfXUIF/s1600/DSCF5341.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXBkOjiY07CkViWlyEg1F-ACPIXGBdElnT461TlGSN-_yiY101Fitcfph8JHyNtgEu2iXfCt-NePI6WsxfAgxN_C6gahkd302RDejiKvxNqGbGfZJCMt-KUcvshyZOE1mfwJLpWhJfXUIF/s320/DSCF5341.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486776725222438706" border="0" /></a></span><span style="font-size:78%;">Glass paint pens in my TheCraftateria jar I started but did not finish.

This is due to (among other things) the craft party that my roommates and I are hosting as The Craftateria. I'm pretty excited for everything to get underway, but also a little stressed.<br /><br />Yesterday, we found this <a href="http://www.nashvillescene.com/nashville/Event?oid=1606087">write-up in the Nashville Scene</a>, which is awesome! (However I'm a little afraid way more people will show up than anticipated!)<br /><br />I can't believe we made the Scene!! Crazy!<br /><br />I'll be sure to take tons of pictures, but it may be a few days before I can upload because I'm driving to DC tomorrow!Whitneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16189990863056055812noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099319832235119694.post-70181153711765205842010-06-01T21:36:00.001-05:002010-06-01T21:36:53.010-05:00Bloglovin'<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/1797631/checkerboardskirt?claim=jk7gg6yfh55">Follow my blog with bloglovin</a>Whitneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16189990863056055812noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099319832235119694.post-53818013225784211692010-06-01T17:31:00.004-05:002010-06-01T18:35:18.235-05:00Treasury love!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZdSclphCnA0LPj9Z1ml3NVpywUe8900NJ01HvBE2BNQU861C_2fvLXykN6czE15T36GUs6b1jeaW1m30vLYFX-awXBUVjrgWJP7sH6CLtQM4t8k_KkFDkb5wINnMr_3uBXld9q7anyV0n/s1600/craftparty3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 125px; height: 125px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZdSclphCnA0LPj9Z1ml3NVpywUe8900NJ01HvBE2BNQU861C_2fvLXykN6czE15T36GUs6b1jeaW1m30vLYFX-awXBUVjrgWJP7sH6CLtQM4t8k_KkFDkb5wINnMr_3uBXld9q7anyV0n/s320/craftparty3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477951265001372082" border="0" /></a><br />Quick update to announce more random <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4c02a314c42b6d91d3f83154/light-blue-sky">treasury love</a>!<br /><br />Also, I'm working on a custom shirt (larger size) of the same design for this <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/adencreations">girl</a>.

After all, it's an etsy party. How can I not wear something I've made? Remember that purple flowered fabric I have? I think I should use that, but I'm still not sure what to make.

I have been pretty busy lately with some sewing projects and a few random art projects. So far, I've been spending about 5 hours a day working in our workspace. I'm finding that staying busy and trying to keep a regular work/sleep schedule is helpful. It's such a weird feeling to not have to be anywhere! Below are some pictures of what I've been up to lately.A couple friends of mine are getting married in a little over a week. The Bride asked me to alter her dress, which is a vintage taffeta beauty. I have no idea what era it is from, but I'm going to blindly guess the 50's. It's lovely. I changed the neckline from a high V-neck to a scoop and altered the underarms so that there were less..stains.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkxLR0DjXgywho7lXPWMwptTm-dIw-z1O2YBcxLj9ZXTGXfIUCxYYTrV0c1IIanyLiBl9t9J77axZgstU8_6XtpOVG3Ki6D_S4uhpGZu9EgUm7WZbUIpYK5esr28_dj2LUGg0bXZuiI733/s1600/Photo0032.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkxLR0DjXgywho7lXPWMwptTm-dIw-z1O2YBcxLj9ZXTGXfIUCxYYTrV0c1IIanyLiBl9t9J77axZgstU8_6XtpOVG3Ki6D_S4uhpGZu9EgUm7WZbUIpYK5esr28_dj2LUGg0bXZuiI733/s320/Photo0032.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470900896731801346" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGrvnkonrYRaVk1DtJxvpxNHseu32_pwnt4tPr4KUbg71EtVr7uIDt2YnMshG2CV1_DLNLtEChFffKueh1sGk1hXja3YuZK1fEIFj0pUJ1a9vFiK_Z86TQGVLWDO0gYkFRJWuGK8E_nzm1/s1600/Photo0033.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGrvnkonrYRaVk1DtJxvpxNHseu32_pwnt4tPr4KUbg71EtVr7uIDt2YnMshG2CV1_DLNLtEChFffKueh1sGk1hXja3YuZK1fEIFj0pUJ1a9vFiK_Z86TQGVLWDO0gYkFRJWuGK8E_nzm1/s320/Photo0033.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470900903921456642" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">I'm pretty proud of it, I hope she likes what I've done.<br /></span></div><br />I'm also making the pants that the Groom will be wearing.

To anyone interested, I was fired from my job for applying for a new job. I got a severance package and I'm no longer working where I didn't want to be. It will probably be awful later but right now, it's not so bad. <br /><br /> I just won a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Polaroid-Cool-Instant-Film-Camera/dp/B001FAH0V6">Polaroid Cool Cam</a> on <a href="http://www.shopgoodwill.com">shopgoodwill.com</a>, and if I can ever find some film, I'll get to use it! If anyone has any suggestions for a cheap place to by Polaroid film, I'd love to hear them. <br /><br />Not much new has happened in the way of crafts lately, I've just been catching up on some projects that have I've been behind in. I'll be working on a pair of pants for a friend's wedding and some new projects shortly, which I'm really excited about. My roommates and I are selling stuff at a convention in October so I'll be periodically preparing for that by making stuffed robots and some other things.

It's a sewing machine that custom matches thread to whatever fabric is being sewn.

The past two days were filled with much crafting (pictures later), a great show with <a href="http://mousevoxvintage.blogspot.com/">Rachel</a>, parties with home brewed beer and fire pits (yes!), and being an extra in a friend's movie. The last was my favorite, I think. I've never done anything like that before, and it was a really great diversion from my regular activities.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);font-size:180%;" >Spring Optimism #5 - Patio seating.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:180%;" >Spring Optimism #6 - GLEE returns to the airwaves April 13. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);font-size:180%;" >Spring Optimism #7 - Seeing everyone around you come out of their winter shells. </span><br /></div>Whitneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16189990863056055812noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099319832235119694.post-89098206164507033742010-02-28T20:11:00.010-06:002010-02-28T21:18:32.902-06:00Long weekend update<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUjFJQmiK_o8pvrignhhNVgQVIO3DxtRw6xzE73yF5wsiBnMxu1xjgzxIIzFSY3B1MBz3Jt1UvF3f5_H2WCFuhA82NThHH2SXxBrSmHPX58yJKETYr3y7-jTSKkAWT6D1_Ala18nCKRxp0/s1600-h/trimester.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 224px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUjFJQmiK_o8pvrignhhNVgQVIO3DxtRw6xzE73yF5wsiBnMxu1xjgzxIIzFSY3B1MBz3Jt1UvF3f5_H2WCFuhA82NThHH2SXxBrSmHPX58yJKETYr3y7-jTSKkAWT6D1_Ala18nCKRxp0/s320/trimester.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443499125072944338" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://xkcd.com/699/">Source.</a></span><br /><br /><br /></div>It's been a while since I felt like I needed a break from my weekend, which is my current sentiment. Roommate's birthday was Thursday, so we went out to dinner at the beautiful <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.margotcafe.com">Margot</a> in east Nashville, followed by drinks at Red Door. Twas an evening to remember, and I hope someone did.<br /><br />Friday night Boyfriend played with his band <a href="http://www.vermiciousknidsmusic.com/news001.html">Vermicious K'nids</a> at my favorite east Nashville bar, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.the5spotlive.com">5 spot</a>. I found a new band to love called <a href="http://elsinore.bandcamp.com/">Elsinore</a>, from Illinois. I'll be checking them out in the near future.<br /><br />Finally, last night (Saturday), K'nids played at some house show at an <span style="font-style: italic;">Alice in Wonderland</span> themed party. That recap brings us to now, Sunday evening. I's exhausted!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Below are some photos of things I did/finished this weekend.

Excitement ensues! This may be the year I brave Bonnaroo after all.<br /><br />You can find their music at this <a href="http://www.makeoutwithviolence.com/">website</a>. They originally formed as the soundtrack for a movie called Make-Out With Violence, which was just picked up by a distributor and will hopefully be going to DVD at some point in the future. It's a zombie love story, and I don't have to tell you that it is quite awesome.<br /><br />Hopefully I'll have a makey crafty update tomorrow.Whitneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16189990863056055812noreply@blogger.com0
