Crocheted Jewelry!
I can honestly say I salivated at sight of the hand crocheted the jewelry at Miriam’s website. Yes, hand crocheted jewelry! It’s nice to know I am not the only crocheting fanatic out there! The workmanship and the creativity are absolutely stunning! My fall cashmere cowl sweater will look gorgeous with some of the shorter neckalaces. My crocheted funky over the knee legwarmers will look fantastic with a black top and a bejeweled crocheted work of art! I’ve left some samples here but visit Miriam’s website to really drool!
This one is my personal favorite.

What’s No Sleep For 10 Days? Ehh, I Can Handle It!
The studio has been chaotic the past few days. I have so many ideas that I hope my post makes sense! I will continue to be in a frenzied mode until next Thursday.
1. I am working on a business partnership with American Express. Deadline – 7/31/08
2. I am applying to Project Runway. (Thanks Solessence on Twitter for the Tweet!)
Deadline – Also 7/31/08. No pain, no gain!
3. I am looking to promote a few designs as the “hot” items for the 2008 Holiday season. Can you say soy/wool artistic coat, flashy over the knee legwarmers and cashmere cowl sweaters? Just thinking of them (and seeing the works in progress makes my heart all a-flutter!
Make sure you come back from time to time to stay updated!
Goods 4 Girls
I felt this was too important of a subject to not post on my blog.
“Goods 4 Girls was started to help young women gain access to better menstrual products. Our goal is to help these girls live their lives and go to school without fear that what they are using during their period will fail.
We provide coordination for women who are interested in sewing or otherwise donating new, reusable menstrual pads to areas of Africa where obtaining high-quality products is difficult.
Working in concert with aid and relief organizations, we identify areas of need and have the ability to distribute the donations where they are most needed.”
Please support this much needed organization!
