{5 Lovely Things on Monday}

{1} Brandi Carlile at ZooTunes...
not to mention surprise guest Dave Matthews!!

This was epic & has been the highlight of my summer thus far.

A special thanks to the boyfriend for hooking me up with a lovely date who had extra tickets :)

{2} My New Hat :)

Thank you Goorin Bros. for making such sassy accessories

{3} My First Custom Order...
A co-worker has asked me to make a tote for her sister-in-law who is getting married this September.  The plan is for it to match her wedding's design scheme:

I've got the fabric ordered, pattern picked out & am ready to do work!



{4} Hurray for Pretty Fat Quarters!

Just cuz...variety is the spice to life, right?
I've mentioned before that I adore Anna Maria Horner's Innocent Crush line (fat quarters shown above) &
I might've purchased these today just so I could get free shipping on an order...

{5} Fat Quarter Projects
Sew Mama Sew Strikes Again! This is most definitely a bookmark-worthy page!
A lot of these projects have me excited but I'm most looking forward to making "softies"--
otherwise known as "plushies". I have a pattern drafted to make whale plushies & I'm looking forward to the day I get to make my first couple I've already named "Willard" & "Wilma".

How stinkin' cute is the owl by Star of my tiny star

Please note, I have this upcoming Tuesday free with absolutely NO plans except to bond with my BROTHER, Janey (that would be my sewing machine;)

5 Lovely Things on Monday

photo cred



{2} best.fortune.ever.

{3} Three Seahorsies

Thank you, Kali-- this is perfect for my
{Sea of Lovely}!!

{4} EOS Lip Balm Sphere 

Snagged the sweet mint flavor @ Bartells on a whim=
great product without the extra crap/additives AND
easier for me to find in my "black hole" of a purse :)



{5} The Head & The Heart

LOVE THEM. And so happy for them as they had a killer TV debut on Conan last week.

Check them out if you haven't already, please.

Best of all I get to see them live next week as part of my

"29 & feelin' fine" b-day celebration!!

Lastly, a quick note:

You may have noticed my "crafty" posts have dwindled a bit-- do not despair. My excuse is that I've been working feverishly on some larger-scale gifts that have a timeline (aka: babies on the way). Once these gifts are signed/sealed/delivered my {Sea of Lovely} product development will commence!

Did the Easter bunny treat you well? I'm really trying to ration the Cadbury Mini Eggs he brought me. When I think about it, those addictive candy-coated chocolate eggs should really be item 6 on my list today...

always,

♥lucy.
