Happy Friday! This has been such a weird week for me, probably because we were traveling on Monday + I have been playing catch up ever since.

What are you up to this weekend? I’m really excited to share a booth with Nicole at Craft Lake City on Saturday, will I see you there? I sure hope so!

Also, I write for Babble’s New Home Ec site + wanted to share my links with you.

I use this technique all the time to customize…anything!

We are having the best time ever in Washington at our family reunion. Last night we had our own private fireworks show, it was really magical.  I just wanted to pop in here real quick + wish all of you a happy weekend!

Also, this week I started writing for Babble’s new site, The New Home Ec + wanted to share my links with you.

In this post I compare myself to both Janet Jackson + Beyonce….what?

A really fun option for outdoor lighting at your next dinner party.

15 amazing origami projects, one guy even built a shelter(!) using origami.

Have you checked out the newly redesigned Kirtsy website? I love it so much.

I’m really pleased to have my ombre bag tutorial included in this amazing Sunday afternoon crafts slideshow sponsored in part, by giggle. There are such good crafts in the slideshow + each craft will only take you the afternoon.

Giggle is a great website for really good baby deals. Also, if you sign up for giggle now, you get $10 off your first purchase.

Friends, what are you up to this Memorial Day weekend? I’ll be working on a moccasin pattern + attending the Soel clothing swap tomorrow.  Hopefully I score some awesome clothes!

Also, I’ve got 5 of these fakie Tolix chairs for sale. I’m practically giving them away at $30/piece. I have 5 + you must take all 5. No, I will not ship + you have to pick them up if you are local. Email me if you are interested, suezpetersen at gmail dot com. (Just in case I didn’t make it clear, they are knock offs, fake, not the real Tolix.)  SOLD!

See you Tuesday!

This hot mess of a studio floor is the result of me doing product development for a week. When I work in assembly line, I need to have precision + total organization, when I create I have to just let it all be. Needless to say I will be spending the afternoon + the better part of tomorrow organizing, folding + sprucing up the studio.

Please tell me know how you work. Do you distinguish between artistic spaces + functional spaces in your home?
Also, what are your plans for the weekend?

Have a good one!

ps. thank you for all of your kind comments on yesterday’s post. I love those little moccs + am extremely glad you all do as well.
