{The Sweat Shop :: before & after}

June 12, 2010 · 22 Comments
Filed Under: sewing

Thursday morning I talked about how unbearably hot the Sweat Shop has been lately. This isn’t really “news” to us, but since it’s now summer outside, it’s even hotter inside. Many of you commented with ways to help, and that was so sweet. Unfortunately, with no windows {it’s an inside room} and the fact that… [Read More]

Filed Under: blog & handmade advice

Since quitting my day job, each night I sit down to organize orders and other tasks I want to accomplish the next day. To be honest, I can’t quite imagine getting anything done any other way. Taking the time the night before to do this makes the next morning so much more productive. Instead of… [Read More]

Does anyone else have a hard time getting up when they’re oh-so mega tired? Ahhhhhh. Last night I told Zack I’d get up with him at 6:15 {and if my mom is reading this she probably knows where this story is headed…} And of course 6:15 came and I just quietly kept my eyes closed… [Read More]

I’m up to my ears in orders — organizing them into little to-do lists, sewing away and also sipping coffee :] The cool air is coming into the living room while I iron… it feels lovely.

Now that summer is {almost} officially here it’s time to accessories the locks. Now that I don’t have to wear a faux fur-lined parka anymore {which covers up my locks}, I mean… I love cute hair clips and headbands, and since I recently cut my hair {*cough* this morning *cough*} it’s definitely time for some… [Read More]
