Opal & Wonder Candles

I'm smitten over these beautiful candles from Opal & Wonder.  I love the glass tumbler they are poured in, that are actually re-usable once your candle has burned all the way down.  And they are 100% natural soy.  I got the Peacemaker & Wild Nomad.  I just love the names she has given them.  The peacemaker is such a calming scent, and the Wild Nomad smells yummy almost like my husband's cologne.  (mmmmm)

DYLAN TEE PRE-ORDERS // LAST CALL

Skyline Fever Dylan Tee

Some of you may be tired about hearing about this amazing new Skyline Fever tee... but I have to mention it one more time b/c TODAY is the last day to PRE-ORDER and the last day to get your invoices paid!  All unpaid invoices after midnight tonite will be CANCELLED.  (sadly)... We have experienced several people not getting their invoices, mostly due to my own personal mistakes after typing in over 200 email addresses... mistakes were made!  So if you have not received yours, please leave me a comment with your email address so I can double check and confirm if it went through correctly.  We have learned sooo much through this process!  It's been a beautiful nightmare honestly.  Next time we will just set up a pre-order listing straight through James shop so there won't be so much confusion.  This time we took orders through both of our instagrams, facebooks, twitters, etsy, my blog and email.  Let's just say answering emails on all social media platforms has kept us busy for a solid week like we had no idea it would!  So next time around, well be a little bit wiser...

If you would like to order one, please do so asap b/c tomorrow we are ordering the shirts!!!  So exciting!  If you have any questions about price, size & more, check out my FAQ'S post here.

WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

SOMETIMES LIFE IS A MESS, YO

Messy studio

Sometimes life is just messy.  These are not the kind of photos I think to take everyday, but we tend to glamorize the picture perfect side of life, and its good to keep some balance of reality in there.  And reality says, things are not always perfect, or clean, or together.  This is the state my studio is in more often than not.  As soon as I get it cleaned up and 'perfect' I get in there and create and make more messes.  Now its just a cycle for me.  I let it go for a few weeks until it gets to the point where I can't stand the clutter anymore and then do a marathon cleaning.  It would probably be much better if I would just take 5 minutes each day after working and pick up for myself, but the reality is, I'm normally feeling too tired, or work myself up to the last minute of needing to go cook dinner or run to the post office.  And then it just doesn't happen... and that is okay!  Thank goodness for doors you can shut! 

I tend to not let my messes in the rest of the house build up this bad, although Id like to think this is true.  When it comes to laundry and piles of papers on desks... I'm a procrastinator.  There is a huge pile of clothes that need to be hung up that have been sitting on my chair in my bedroom for over a week now. 

Ideally it would be clean all the time, b/c that is when I feel most peaceful, and creative.  But reality says sometimes it just can't all be done. 

garage

In the midst of cleaning out my parents house, our garage became our storage for EVERYTHING.  This is a pic of it half way clean already.  Weve been working our extra evening hours in here each day trying to get this space super cleaned out and organized so we can screenprint shirts back here next week.  It feels monumentous and is stressing us out a bit, but its something we have been putting off for so long, that it has to be done right now b/c of all of these shirt orders.  At the same time its kind of exciting, b/c once and for all it will be a working garage!  It will be Skyline Fever's studio.  How rad! 

I thought Id share these photos for those of you out there who feel like you just cant keep it all together all the time, you are not alone!  There is ALWAYS this kind of reality behind every picture perfect photo, in everyones life.

Thought Id give you a preview of what is to come in the shop very soon!  The top breastplate is the only one already in the shop, and is limited quantity.  The rest Ill be uploading as I find the time over the next few days.  Today I'm headed into my studio to do a big clean up so I can get in there and really focus on custom orders, and make another huge mess ;)  Its another rainy day outside... which is probably a really good thing to make me just focus on getting things done on the studio front. 

All I have been able to accomplish the last 2-3 days has been working on invoices for the new PRE ORDER Dylan Tee (and still have a few more to go)... By yesterday afternoon I was so dazed from starting at the computer screen I pretty much crashed and burned and sat on the couch for the rest of the night and could barely move, ha ha!  I do not envy people who do data entry for a living!  Man, it drains you.  But, we are seeing the home stretch and are so flippin excited and grateful that it FAR surpasses the duties of getting it done!  And James made his first ever phone call yesterday to hire an assistant for when we actually start making the shirts!  Kind of cool!  This couldn't of happened at a better time honestly.  James has been in a bit of a funk for a while (just bein' real) and kind of sad about how his business was progressing, among many other things in his life right now.  This whole Dylan Tee success has literally parted the clouds over his head and its been so beautiful to watch.  I'm so happy for him!  It also happened at the right timing for space too.  Since we just got my parents shed moved to our house, we have been emptying our garage that has been soooo full of stuff that he couldn't work back there anymore.  He has been screenprinting on a tiny card table in our back room, that is also cluttered.  So this week, we are also focusing on continuing to clean up and re-organize our garage so we can get Skyline Fever back into production mode in there. 

If you ordered your Dylan Tee before Wednesday you should of already received your invoice.  Please check your email or paypal to find it.  All invoices must be paid by Monday to be included.  The few invoices we have not sent out yet will be sent by today.  You can still order through Monday.  We are doing our best to stay on top of the emails and questions as they come in.  Just message one of us if you have any questions!
