Threads - Passionflower Pink >>>
Last week I received these AMAZING pants in the mail from Mountain Girl Clothing, and pretty much havent taken them off since. I could live in them. You can find another pair in her shop like them here, just in a different fabric pattern. The first day I wore them, I welcomed them into my life with a bonfire, which Im pretty sure is just about the best way to come into someones life, even if you are a pair of pants. I layered some of my very old tank tops together, dare I say, I used to wear them by themselves... I think those kinds of guts are long gone. I loved that my tattoos perfectly matched this outfit. The oh so pretty necklace is about to go up in my shop, and there are only two available!
A little update on life the past few days... Ive been able to get some major things done around here. Getting many of my wholesale orders out the door. Still several to go, but a big one is almost done and that makes me feel so good. My taxes are almost completely finished. I got to see some of my family two days in a row! They came up to Bandera which is always nice, and then we went into San Antonio last night. We had a great family bbq at my Nanna's last night. Such good food, I was stuffed to the brim. Whenever there are meals over there, there is so much food I wouldnt normally have on my table, that I kind of pig out in a big way. Everytime. I ate two brownies and a piece of chocolate cake for dessert!!! Geez. But the good thing is, we were able to stop by Whole Foods on the way there and pick up some yummy good for ya stuff, so my fridge is stocked!
Today is the last day of March, which means it will be a busy day. The last and the first days of the month always are. I have lots of little things I have to attend to today. Hopefully by this evening, that will include a shop update with all of these pretties Ive been teasing you with this past week!

Softspoken Collaboration - Part 1 >>>
A while back I worked on a photoshoot collaboration with Softspoken. I wanted to wait until she had a chance to upload the images to her shop before posting them. You can now find a few floating around in her listings! I adore her work, so very well made, and just the whole vibe of her company stands out to me from the sea of crochet artists. I just totally dig her. I did about 8 different styles, so there are way too many images to share all at once... So I decided to break it up into a few of my favorites from each style in different posts. This was one of my favorite styles from the shoot.
Im currently working on a new collaboration with another artist, along with designing an actual lookbook, I cant wait to share! And Im not spilling any beans, but I have a HUGE collaborative photo project Ill be working on in the background, Im so excited I could just burst. Im hoping my dream really comes to fruition with this one!
PEACE,

Campfire Texas >>>
Ahhhh, last night we broke in our new firepit. It was exactly what I needed. I love it so much. It ended up being just the perfect little pit. Big big thanks to James and Joey for putting in it. We welcomed James parents over last night to break it in with us, and they brought our nephew Travis, so he had his first bonfire! Bella really enjoyed it. She hung out by it most of the night. The moon was so beautiful, a sliver with a hazy circle around it, with the bright planets shining right next it. It was magical. The subtle breeze in the air was perfect. It was just what my soul needed. I smell like campfire this morning which is just about my favorite smell in the whole world. And I have a tummy ache this morning, ha ha! I ate two hotdogs, 5 roasted marshmallows and two beers. As I was eating them I said it was either a recipe for a tummy ache or a migraine... Ill take the tummy ache any day over the migraine!
Above are just two more pics of my pretty flowers on the porch. I just love looking at them. Its amazing what flowers do for your soul. Just simply by being.
PEACE,
Laura
