Rugrats Handmade Button Up Shirt


I made this shirt from a pattern I designed, and used an old Rugrats bed sheet I thrifted at Savers. After making the shirt I realized how cool it is that, this fabric (bed sheet) won't be made ever again. I used to love watching this show when I was little, so I am super excited I get to wear a shirt that reminds me of happy days when I was young. The colors are also super cool and bright. 
I am thinking about making another top, a skirt, or even maybe some small wrist wallets with the left over fabric. I know there are a ton of 90's kids out there like me that would be psyched to rock some Rugrats apparel!

Crompton Collective Vintage Wedding Week


I had a a great Sunday at Crompton Collective, for Vintage Wedding Week. I set up my American Gentleman Display for my upcoming wedding line. I had great feedback and lots of interest, so I cant wait to share whats new very soon! 
I really enjoyed seeing brides "to be" taking the time to check out each and every vendor's table, getting ideas and planning. It's kind of cool to think that I, along with the rest of the vendors participating today could potentially be "a part" of their big day. Something about that makes me feel really good inside :]

I have an exclusive wedding catalog that I will be emailing to those who signed up today, and if anyone else is interested in my American Gentleman Wedding Catalog, send me an email:

Also thanks to everyone who took the time to check out my table!

Dream Journal

Lately I have been having extremely vivid dreams and I am a firm believer, that dreams have meaning to them. A few nights ago I had a dream that was very memorable, and when I awoke I remember nearly everything that the dream entailed. In this dream two specific animals, a buck and a black bear appeared a handful of times and I realized I needed to start keeping a dream journal.

I use to keep a dream journal years ago, and I have no clue where it is anymore, so since it is the new year I figured no better time to start a dream journal then now.

At any point in the past that I have had dreams that I can remember upon awakening, I always obsessively search online for the meaning of what I had seen in the dream. The crazy dreams I have been having seem to have positive meanings so I am hoping that I will be able to relate some of the dreams I have had to upcoming and future life events.

I made my main dream journal that I keep by my bedside with a cereal box. I folder and cut lined paper to fit the size, stapled the paper together and used hot glue to attach the paper to the cover. I used an old brown paper shopping bag to wrap the cover, and I took some scrap fabric and a hole puncher to wrap it closed, and to add a personal touch. I had some left over paper scraps, so I made a few mini notebooks that I will definitely put into use.

I have had continuous dreams over the past week that have been so vivid, so I am super happy to have made my dream journal to write it all down.

Crocheted Blankets


I have been trying to use up all my scrap yarn, and I came out with these small crocheted blankets. I wish I had the patience/focus to sit and work on a huge blanket, but I get so distracted and end up starting on a whole new project before I can finish. I am debating on selling these, because I think they are pretty cool and I kind of want them for myself, haha. Overall I am pretty impressed with my skill, I went from creating odd shaped yarn projects that hardly resembled what I was hoping to create, to nearly understanding what 
crocheting is. Although I don't know the name of the stitches and I don't know how to read or use a pattern, I think I am very good at eyeing measurements and having great finished products.
