Insane excited for this one. Sara Does is a featured exhibitor this month on Paper n’ Stitch and I’m super stoked. Look how beautiful Brittni’s site is:

I KNOW. So purty. Completely honored to be featured and to be among some amazing artists! I can’t pick my favorites, but these 4 stuck out to me:

Might have to snag me a journal and something awesome from Thrift Core. The cool thing is many exhibitors add new things throughout the month – make sure you check back frequently for new goodies!

Come see them and me over on P+S through July 21st and definitely check out the awesome projects and artists featured on P+S on the reg. There are some great DIY projects to try. Add her to your Feedly, you won’t regret it.

And because I’m super excited to be featured:

That’s me! Ah! Visit through July 21st. Woo!

Next week: Sofa fort, easy tanks + tshirt edits, possibly more lazy fun.

Makes for a pretty lazy girl and a pretty low-output two weeks. Low-output = no projects, no blog posts, no photographing, nothing but lazin’ and relaxin’. Totally ok with it, but it’s time to get back to it!

I’ve made a couple pretty cute and comfy tanks over the past couple lazy weeks + promise to share soon. In the meantime, enjoy my view from this weekend spent at my parents’ home with my awesome Dad on Father’s Day:

I know right. It’s amazing. In the shade, with fans going, slight breeze off the lake, there really isn’t anything more relaxing. And the big fuzzy bear is my meemoo, our 10 year old Shepherd. She’s my bff.

I hope you did something super fun and enjoyable to celebrate your dad on Father’s Day! See you soon with more creative fun…

Ya’ll. It’s Thursday already. In 2 days I’ll be 26 years old. Gah!

Today I’m supposed to drive to le Outer Banks with my man-piece for a relaxing birthday weekend in Corolla. We are so lucky to be spending the weekend with Hurricane Andrea! Just so blessed to be in such good company. Le sigh. Suddenly I love using “le” in front of everything. Trendy much?

Anywho. Lately I’ve been trying to focus on having more fun and planning more tiny things to make the days brighter instead of hoping and waiting for a good day to just happen. I’m happy to report that it’s working and I highly recommend it. At the very beginning of the week, I made a checklist of things I wanted to do to have extra fun for my birthday. One of these things was to chill out on the interwebs. I have spent minimal time on le web this week (there it is again), minimal forum chatting, blog reading, and zero blog projects or website work. High. Five.

So this week’s [second] favorite is lazy weeks! The upcoming 26th anniversary of my birth has been causing me some unexpected anxiety to my efforts to really relax and enjoy things have really helped. I really have no idea why 26 seems so bad. Also hilarious that each time I type “26″ I’ve typoed it as “16.” Is that irony? Fairly certain I don’t wish to be 16 again. As great as high school was, I like where I am now. Just if things could slow down a tiny bit, that’d be great.

Also. You know it’s been a lazy week because this post has no photos. Bad blogger! But whatevs. It’s birthday week and the phrase of the week is “long hair, don’t care.” [That first link is NSFSM (Not Safe for Sensitive Moms cough mine).]

Other things on my list of fun for the week: get a massage (scheduled!), read for pleasure, do more journaling, long walk(s), spend time planning fun things for my biz, get my hair done (check!), go on a hike, run, dinner with friends, go out to lunch (a big deal for me these days), a Netflix marathon, cupcakes for dinner (gasp). I’ve done all of these things except the hike, which I plan to make a beach hike if Andrea isn’t a huge biotch and ruins the entire weekend.

My other favorite thing is chatting with you guys! What are your favorite things to do to celebrate yourself? Anyone out there hate birthdays? Just another day? Any quarter life crises out there? Is 26 a daunting year for you too? Or is it 30? 40? 50? 18?

OMG PS! Forgot to mention this detail:I didn’t just get my hair “done.” I dyed my hair. Violet. It is awesome and giving me huge extra doses of sass. Follow me on instagram to get a sneak peek…I’ve been posting an inappropriate number of selfies. Do forgive me.
