I love paper snowflakes

not mine. I made a couple with Julia and Miranda this year- but the big snowflake night of 2011 will be some time next week!

This year I want to make a couple 3D snowflakes to throw into the mix.
I saw ones like this at Whole Foods- very cool...

And I love these! ...

and in the end, I hope for the apartment to look something like this...

I'll post pictures of the decorated apartment next week!

Shoe love & DIY ider

 

These YSL heels are pretty awesome.  I love the pink ones.  What if I found a similar pair and made a shaped metal plate to go on top??!  easy, right? :)

(these images are from DESIGNLOVEFEST... I didn't write that comment on the top picture... but I would like to make a font of my handwriting...  Anyone know how to do that?  Let me know!)

Holiday catalogue....

It feels like I did these AGES ago!  But they're out now!  Some aren't quite so new, but I thought I would share :) 

All (or most) are for sale on the free people website.

..these are a mix of images from catalogue shots and the web..

Speaking of ages ago! - I haven't written anything here in for-ev-er.  ...but I'm baa-aaack.......! :)
It's been a swirly whirlly windy time of San Fran and New York visits, designing, teaching, and much more.  Lovely good times, but I am happy to say that today has been a day off- full of rest and catching up.
I'll be back soon- you can count on it!
