Lover boy





Fashion exhibit at the LACMA

A couple weekends ago we went to the LA County Museum of Art- the LACMA. We saw an amazing Fashion exhibit with actual period pieces from the 17 and 18 hundreds- amazing!!





After seeing this exhibit I bought several very complicated historical corset patterns... We'll see how they turn out. :)
Happy weekend friends! We're in Palm Springs then out to Vegas for a show and fun.
Love,
B

Khaki corset

Justin wanted to goodwill an old pair of khakis. Instead I recycled them-





Notice the included frayed hem. There was plenty of fabric but I liked the character it adds.
Happy creating. Happy living.

Love,
B

P.S. I have a 25$ gift card (that i only paid 10$ for!) for Lark bakery in Silverlake. Who wants to join?!?

New stripes

After doing 1 1/2 root canals this morning i Had the afternoon off to work on some new bunny and pear.






I love all the vintage leather buttons my darling gramma Claudia gave me! Hope everyone is having a beautiful week thus far.
Much love,
B

Brevity

I find it far too easy to get caught up in superficial things everyday, and once caught up, stay there.

Life is beautiful. Life is short. More and more I learn what a big deal kindness is. I found this quote in a memoir of a friend's father who passed on unexpectedly. It inspired and resonated with me-


"I believe in kindness. Also in mischief. Also in singing, especially when singing is not necessarily prescribed."

-Mary Oliver.


What if tomorrow, instead of focusing on ourselves- our insecurities, our stresses, we focused on being kind to those around us. I have a feeling a lot of lives would be a lot better and a lot more fun.

Have a beautiful week. Make it beautiful. Love and be loved.


Love,
B

For Dawn and Heidi

This posting is for Dawn and Heidi at Narcisse- a Victorian boutique in the pearl district where bunny and pear hopes to soon reside. This skirt was designed with them in mind.


Much love,

Mustache mania

I like mustache accessories just as much as the next pseudo-hipster. My brother David and his gal pal Cerise sent us this and we love it!


Happy Sunday!
Love,

Rays of light

Made this for a
Friend-


On my new machine-


Love you juki!

Hello Friday.

Hello Friday. I've been expecting you for some time.


While painting acorns electric blue-


My fluffy headed rabbit, Pierre, lounged at my side.


Furry balls of fluff are so joyful-


Happy peaceful creative bliss. May Monday tarry.

Love, B
