mini-studio tour..

I don't know what the weather is like where you are,
 but here I like to call it confusing.

I woke up it was gray.

I went to the salon it was sunny.

While at the salon doing my Nana's hair it was monsoon-ing..

then it was sunny.

Went to breakfast with the hubs, and it was hailing.

Then it was sunny..

Now its gray and windy

Its safe to say, I do not trust Oregon weather.

and to be honest I'm kinda feeling blah today.. so why not just stay in?

Well its been a good excuse to put on comfy clothes, drink some chai and listen to some rap..

yep, you heard me right!

I put on pandora and decided to call out my 1996 self, when I got my drivers license.

I had a cute little maroon colored honda prelude (so bad ass!!)

I remember I went through musical phases (i still listen to so many different genres)

when it was hiphop time, a few I remember constantly playing on my cd player

Lil' Kim, BIG, Mase, Joe, R.Kelly, Diddy (he was Puff Daddy back then)

Missy Elliot, Foxy Brown, Eve, Black Eye Peas (before Fergie joined!), Nas
ahh I was so silly

thats just to name a few.. so today in honor of 16yr old me..

Its hip hop day in the studio!

I wish someone could see how hilarious this situation is..

Me, fabric, sewing, buttons, glue guns, blogging and tupac..

its a good gray day.
(p.s its all about the bengamins baby!...at least that's what puff daddy said)

Here is a little preview of what I'm doing today..just working on organizing the studio,

got my new shipping area done (its so cute & efficient!)

These bad boys, cute through 18 layers of denim.. its their claim to fame and I believe em!

Tackling this basket of elastic- is on my To-Do list, wish me luck!

That fabric scrap banner??

Easiest thing to do ever, but I will post a tutorial this week if you wanna see how I did it! =)

There is an order to that shelf up there..

Top shelf, is all vintage fabrics

Bottom shelf - Left is all cottons &

Right is all Rayon, Silk, & Chiffon (ok polyesters, but chiffon sounds better!)

I picked up this thread spool holder last month
 and have been collecting vintage thread whenever I can find them!


My 1936 Gone with the Wind book, that I name all the flowers after..
I just open the book, flip through the pages and find the names that fit!
{so far it seems to work}

My new shipping area

We have built in shelves in this room and what I think is a bay window area,

so this spot worked perfect!

I found this little shelf unit at Target, I will go over my shipping process with you later this week.

Items ready to ship =)

Thanks for going on a mini-tour with me..

hope your day isn't as gray as mine, but if it is turn on some hip hop and thug it up!
