Check out my studio tour over on papernstitch! Here are some more photos of my place from the photoshoot done by my friend Gabe. My apartment is slowly turning into box-land because I will be moving in just TWO WEEKS to Vermont!
my fireplace mantle...
bundles of fabric...
my rolodex that I love to use...
just my little quilt label...
this is the view of the square outside my apartment...
and yours truly...

Today I sent out all 40 announcements for graduation. I decided I wanted to design my own since I did attend art school after all (and besides mine are waaaaaay cuter.) I did the design of it by hand and then scanned it in to my computer, tweaked it a bit, and printed them out onto kraft paper. Then I stuffed them, along with a portrait, into pretty turquoise envelopes addressed using my typewriter.
and now they are on their way! It feels so good to have something else checked off my to-do list!
well plans for a dress at least. I have to make up for the awful polyester gown I will be wearing during the ceremony by making a cute dress to wear underneath and to the festivities following!. I borrowed this pattern from a friend (Colette patterns are seriously the cutest!)
and I purchased four yards of this very fun vintage teal and white cotton chambray striped fabric. Now all that is left is to stitch it up!
I don't have too much time to do so either--just three weeks of classes seperate me from a diploma!
today I get to celebrate my mother who is wonderful and wise and loving and supportive and caring and talented and beautiful and intelligient and the reason I am who I am today! Pretty awesome if you ask me. So this is for you Ma Mere with lots of love!
this will be coming in the mail...
and here is a photo of us!

I received a shipment of some little knitted cupcakes today from Ma Mere. Once I get the chance to re-photograph the tea sets they will be included(because what good tea party doesn't have sweets!?). She whipped up a dozen--made from wonderful wool yarn for the bottoms and a lovely organic cotton yarn for the frosting.
Coincindentially, I also made some of the real thing today as a thank you gift for a friend.
