This adorable sweater is unfortunately sold out at Flying Tomato, but if your quick, they have one left in

another color

!  Coziest sweater ever.  I wore this outfit a few weeks ago, but Ive been waiting to share it until the release of the bohemian collective lookbook came out.  This is a casual version of that outfit.  This necklace is one of a new collection I have waiting to be listed for Roots and Feathers.  I may be keeping this one b/c I just love it oh so much, but I can take custom orders for them!  I have four others ready to be listed, soon!  

After feeling very jumbled up in my headspace for about a week now (or more)... yesterday I went to yoga, had a great long talk with a friend and released my new creative lookbook.  Those 3 things combined really cheered me up and put me in a better perspective.  Later on today Ill begin working on several custom orders, so Im looking forward to some good creative studio time.  Thank you to everyone who checked out the

new lookbook

and left some love over on the blog!  Makes my heart so happy!

INSTAGRAM LOVE

Lately I have not quite felt myself.  Ive been feeling a bit more inward.  I think from being sick, its just taking me a little while to crawl back out of my little crab shell and back into the world.  But tomorrow that will change!  Ill be releasing the new

Bohemian Collective Mini Lookbook

!  Im so stoked.  Its like our big ones, but with just one look, and a bit more stripped down and simplified.  Even though its not quite as artistic as the others, I'm still really digging it, and looking forward to doing many more of these throughout the year.  So make sure to check the blog over there tomorrow!  The pic above is from the other afternoon when I went outside to draw.  Ive been doodling before bed every night, sort of as a meditation, but I got the urge before bed the other day, so I went with it. 

And guess who joined me?  Ha ha.  I think this is MY FAVORITE photo Ive ever taken of her!  I want it blown up HUGE and framed on my wall.  I crack up everytime I look at it!  God I love this cat!

And when she got on top of the table to join me she showed me just how excited she was to be there!  Ha.  She couldn't help but just scream at the top of her lungs! 

Then the next day she got herself stuck up in a tree.  She is allowed to hang out in the backyard by herself with Violet whenever she wants.  Its fenced in and big enough for her to roam around at free will.  (although lately she has been sneaking under the fence, little rascal!)  But yesterday I heard Violet barking, so I went to go check to see what it was at (make sure it wasn't a snake), and I saw two big labs running around outside the fence.  And I couldn't find Bella anywhere.  I was looking all in the woods, on all sides of the house, etc... Until finally I looked up!  I never expected her to be in a tree b/c she doesn't have front claws, so tree climbing is not really her thing.  But I'm proud to say she doesn't let that stop her in a time of need!  She was actually pretty relaxed up there and wanted to stay there for a bit before coming down.  She rubbed her mouth all over the branches up there. (she likes to rub her mouth on all sorts of things).  Then finally she let me get her down.  A little adventurous day for this little lady!

Mmmm... is this not the pretty record youve ever seen?  I just love Donovan.  I have the silliest memories of me and my friend Justin in junior high listening to Donovan, especially the Intergalactic Laxative song.  We thought it was the best thing in the world!  And I still love listening to him...

Last night's beautiful Leo Aquarius moon was amazing.  It was soooo bright I could barely look at it like usual.  Oh and I had a hard time sleeping last night too, I felt so much energy.  A sweet sweet (9 year old) friend of mine gifted me a huge amethyst quartz cluster, so I put it out last night to charge under this beautiful moon.  It is so beautiful and something Ill treasure forever.  She was so sweet to give it to me!

NEW JEWELRY & GYPSY PRAYER FLAGS

Above are some of the custom wall hangings I made this past week.  Some very special ones for some very special ladies.  It makes my heart burst to know that these will be placed in each of their sacred spaces in their home.  I can't think of anything better.  Each one holds a special meaning for each girl, and after 2013 is over, they will each have a keepsake to remind them of the impact this year made on their lives.  Beyond just making beautiful art, this is where its at for me.  Being able to create something meaningful for someone, something that has an encouraging or positive affect on their spirit.  Yes!!!  This kind of stuff makes my heart so happy.  I'll be making a few more customs this week if you want to add your name to the list, just message me on

etsy

.

I also listed a bunch of new stuff in

the shop

the past few days.  Some of these are already gone, but many are still available.  If you ever see something I have sold that is no longer available, don't hesitate to ask if I can make you something similar.  Chances are I might!
