Urban Craft Uprising

Ok, this post is really late, but since I have posted maybe twice this whole summer, maybe I will be forgiven. Definitely the most inspiring thing I did this summer was drive up to Seattle for Urban Craft Uprising. I signed up to volunteer with the project, and ended up embroidering with Becky at Jenny Hart's booth for most of the day.
As ecstatic as I was to be there, I was also a wee smidge hung over because Becky and I had been up the night before. It was amazing to meet another person in the world (aside from my beloved Becky) who loves embroidering as much as I do....

Ode to The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers. Not much more to say except I enjoy them and listen to them so much it seemed only appropriate that I should embroider while I do. I hope to give it to them when we see them at ACL. I'm thinking bribery may be our only hope in a venue that size. That, or an after hours show. Crossing my fingers from now until October. I am such a groopie. :)

Turning 30 in the Woods

Allison organized the best 30th camping trip celebration ever. We all went up to Brice Creek and spent 3 days indulging ourselves. It was heavenly. Especially good to see good friends that I haven't seen enough in recent years, but love with all my heart!
