Want to know what they sound like? Click on the song below! Black Mission Goggles is my favorite but it's hard to pick one song when they are so bad ass!
Read MoreToday is such a special day! I was asked to be a part of the first ever Figgy's Blog Tour for Shelly's stellar (pun intended) Heavenly Winter Collection of patterns for 2013/2014!
I was outside of my skin when she asked me to test for it back in October... it literally made my night (which already awesome because it was Halloween ;-), but more on that later.
Shelly has lined up a rad-tastic group of bloggers to be a part of it, and I am kicking it off with a Valentine Collection!

Read MoreAlthough my personal preference for the Bimaa sweater is the cowl look because it looks so damn squishy and delicious, the looks I was going for for my Halloween outfits both required hoods! I present to you all, the Finn Bimaa and the Totoro Bimaa Sweater Dress!
Read MoreWe love all things anime and yes that includes Pokemon! Get ready for a sweet Girafarig inspired dress! YEAH! Earlier this month, someone turned 6! It has been a whirlwind of a month, what with birthdays x 2, visitors, sewing (per the usual), starting kindergarten, baby announcements, appointments galore... my head is still spinning!
