A daycation up the coast

James and I drove up the coast on the PCH a few weekends ago. We stopped whenever we felt like it. The whole trip was gorgeous. Below are a few pictures of crafty things that caught my eye.

We stopped in a small used bookstore where we payed what we thought the books were worth. We picked up a few goodies, and I shot a picture of the cover of this book because I like the print and type.



There was a yarn shop in Point Reyes along the way, and of course I had to stop. The owner had these awesome plushies on display. Owls are the new deer.

An Invasion

These are a gift for my man. They are gouache, thread, and ink jet on water color paper sandwiched between 2 pieces of acrylic and a piece of acetate. After finding out how easy it is to have acrylic cut and drilled, I hope to do some more projects with it.

After seeing someone in this dress version C (the dress furthest in the back), I decided I had to have it. Unfortunately she purchased it from a vintage shop. I researched the dress and found this vintage pattern. The fabric shot on the right minus the adorable puppy in the middle is my practice fabric. I'm almost finished with the dress and minus a few squiggly lines it fits pretty well. Since beginning this project I've noticed Diane von Furstenberg's work everywhere and really started to admire it when I see it. This could get expensive ;)
