Welcome to the space I spend most of my days in... my studio.  I realized I never shared this space since I recently changed from two rooms into one.  I downsized alot of supplies and created a space that would make me want to be in day after day.  I daydream of having a huge studio one day... but for now, this 10x10 room will do.  Actually, this is MASSIVE compared to the space I had in my rent house just 2 years ago.   

There isn't any furniture in this room that is store bought.  It is all old stuff that came from my parents house, so it's very sentimental and homey...  I'm slowly trying to get rid of all of my plastic boxes and just use old wooden boxes and muffin tins for my supply storage.  I have my eye on a huge antique stamp drawer I spotted at our local antique mall.  I'm hoping its still there next time I get paid from our local shops that carry my jewelry.  It's only $25 which is actually a steal, but we are being super careful with our $$ right now b/c things are tight to say the least.  I'm also using several of my mom's vintage mixing bowls for storage as well.  I love the pops of teal mixed in with all the wood.  The awesome orange velvet chair was a $10 thrift store find!!!  It is such a rad chair.  A little wonky, but I still love using it.   That cool wooden peg hanger that I have all of my necklaces hanging on was a .50 cent thrift find!!!  What!  I just love little gems like that.  The beautiful wooden scroll mirror is a piece my dad made.  One of his earliest pieces actually from his lifetime of being a woodworker.  I'm so honored to have it hanging in my space.

I believe making your creative space an inspiring place to be in is so important.  At least for me it is.  Being a full time designer, alot of time is spent in this space, so having it be a place that I want to be in is key.  Do you have a studio space that you feel at home in?  I would love to see it if so, send me a link! 

 

PINTEREST GIVEAWAY

Just a quick little mention... a while back I decided that once I hit 10,000 Pinterest followers I would have a giveaway, and that time is now just around the corner.  We are less than 100 followers away!!  Woo hoo!  I am teaming up with my boy Skyline Fever to bring you an awesome giveaway.  Skyline Fever + Roots and Feathers = One Rad Giveaway!  If you are not already following, you can go here to do so, and well be one step closer to the giveaway.  Are you as much of a Pinterest addict as I am?  I must say, it stole my heart when I first started using it and the love has only grown deeper and deeper.  Going to my pinterest almost feels like taking a mini vacation into dreamland everytime I look at it.

Just a few images from this past week, including being in austin with Robin... seeing my nephew for a few minutes... Katelyn & Makenna coming to bandera... spotting the cutest squirrels outside the art museum...  etc.  I haven't been taking nearly as many phone photos this past week as I usually do.  But I'm happy to have these to remember these moments by.

This little outfit post is actually about 2 months old!  I totally forgot about it and it got lost in the vortex of photos on my hard drive... (a scary place that is).  Reminds me how much I love this vest from Skyline Fever.  I recently re-designed the flowerchild image, so this older version may no longer go into production.  Were not sure yet, we may keep both b/c James still really loves this one.  I can't wait to release the new one though...  Actually, we have several new images coming soon!  And we are about to be bringing back all of the sold out crop tops!  I am really so proud of James and his little shirt company.  I may be a bit biased, but Im just so in love with it all.   

This  morning I feel like Im on the verge of recovery so to speak.  You may remember about two weeks ago I was going like mad, full of energy and inspiration and I just couldn't stop myself... I said at one point that I was probably going to burn and crash... Well, then came last week... James had the whole week off, and somehow before the week even started we had every day filled up with something.  Most of it was good stuff, full of friends and wonderful things.  By sunday I felt absolutely exhausted.  I couldn't really figure out why I felt so tired b/c it really was like a vacation in a way.  But my Nanna reminded me that I'm so used to being by myself all day long, and so much activity and human interaction probably just depleted me, and I think she is absolutely right.  I spent Sunday and Monday so tired I could barely function properly, and then all day yesterday I had the worst headache that just would not go away until I went to bed last night.  I finally decided to slather myself in Thieves oil that my friend had sent me for headaches, and grab my amethyst stone and put myself to bed early.  It was the best decision I could of made.  I slept a little over 10 hours last night and I feel so much better.  I know alot of it too is my lack of watching what I eat and how I move the past few weeks.  I was doing so well for a while and when things get busy I just tend to fall apart in those areas.  Its like I have to keep having these cycles, and keep getting myself back on track.  I don't know what it will take to just keep me on a constant daily self care regimen.
