Don't Forget the Sprinkles

Eeeps!  So excited about this!  So my dear friend Katie recently started a blog Don't Forget the Sprinkles to share her craftiness and rockin' baking skills!  In one of her posts she made some awesome headbands and sent me one of my favorite team!!  Is it awesome or is it AWESOME!?!

A Renegade Adventure

The Renegade adventure in Chicago was awesome!  So much incredible inspiration and beautiful creativity everywhere!  Mom and I started off our day in Greek Town at Artopolis.  Ohhh my goodness YUM!  Such a good way to start the day. 

Delicious Mocha! Such a treat...

speaking of treats would you look at that!?!  Incredible!  I wish I could have tried a bite of everything!!

mmmmm...

The rainy day didn't spoil our fun!

HAHA! you know you are at Renegade when...

P. Nosa

Probably the coolest thing to see at the fair.  He draws with his solar powered sewing machine.  You give him an idea and he sews it up righ there.  Very inspiring!  I adore his creativity.  Check out his videos on his site to see what I mean.

Renegade Craft Fair

Oh my goodness I am soooooo excited to go to Renegade tomorrow!  If the rain stays away it should be a lovely day!  Yipeeeeeeeeee!  I've been on a lot of adventures lately and I can't wait to share them with you!  I also have some fun projects that I've been working on and I'll share those next week.  Till then hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Apron's are AWESOME!

I have been a busy little bumble bee seamstress this last week!  You may recall my birthday purchase of the book A is for Apron by Nathalie Mornu. 

I have been dying to sew some of the fun aprons in the book.  Well the perfect occasion arrived...I needed a gift for a friends wedding....APRONS!  I mean lets face it aprons are awesome, and they make you look awesome.  Oh and they are fashionable and functional so get that sewing machined fired up!!

{yes i had to model the apron and OHMYGOSH i love it!  I'm glad i just happened to purchase enough fabric to make 2...heh!}

{oh man i'll tell ya i don't know why more things don't come with ball fringe.}

{Ta-daaaa}

The grillin' man's {groom's} apron!!

LOVE IT! 

{Ok soooo white is probably not the best choice here but that little blue bike is totally RAD!}

I had a cotton apron and used paint pens to create the bicycle and text.  Spin on.

Chalkboard Reminders

{I bought a framed photo from Goodwill and sanded the photo primed it and sprayed a few coats of the chalkboard paint.  I primed and sprayed the wooden frame with a happy yellow.}

My Newfangled Love

I introduce the CamelBak Better Bottle!!!! 

Why is this the best thing since sliced bread you ask?  I shall tell you!  It is insulated, stainless steel, and has the signature CamelBak lid!!!!  EEEPS!!  SO FRICKIN' AWESOME!  It doesn't sweat all over my desk.  My H20 stays chilled to the max aaaaaaand I always seem to drink more H20 with the signature spout.

This H20-bottle combines the insulation of my favorite travel java container, it has the awesome stainless steal-ness so your water doesn't get that icky tasting water bottle funk, and it has the drink more water spout of my reg. CamelBak bottle.  It is a bit pricey but OHMYGOSH it is awesome and I take it everywhere. bffs for realz yo!  Word to your mother.

HA!

Upon waking every morning this week I have found waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs chewed up paper products of all sorts, bits of 2 plastic containers, and the last straw...engagement cards from friends torn to BITS!   He has never done anything like this before and allllll despite purchasing 2 new toys in addition to his 6 others around the house!!  How could this sweet innocent face be so destructive?!?!

I needed a laugh today and via Happy Zombie I found it!  Thank you Molly Erdman for your Tumblr Catalog Living very clever and brilliant!
