{color trends} the 2013 pantone fashion color report is here!

Hello there and happy Thursday! I'm super excited to see the Pantone Fashion Color Report for Spring 2013 has been released. I downloaded a copy last night and really love some of the colors! I especially like the creative names like tender shoots, lemon zest, monaco blue and red poppy.



I really enjoyed reading about how the designers incorporated these colors into their collections. I know Spring is a long ways off, but it's fun to see the upcoming color trends and get inspiration for next year's designs. Thanks for stopping by!

{handmade} mini tote bag

Hello there! Hope you are enjoying the holiday weekend. Real life has kept me away from my blog lately, but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. I've been wanting to expand my creative endeavors so I recently purchased a beginner sewing machine from IKEA. The first project I made was a cute little mini tote bag a few days ago. It's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with it. What fun projects have you been working on?
