Anyone up for a trip to Salt Lake City? If so, I hope you’ll join me at Sewing Summit in September. It will be my first trip + I’m really excited because I’ve heard great things about this 3 year old conference. There’s a ton of awesome speakers and teachers – check out everyone here!
PS – It looks like Sewing Summit is currently sold out, but there’s always a chance they’ll release more tickets. You can sign up for the newsletter here so you’ll be notified of any future ticket sales!

Hey hey, took a little break there but I’m back. Things that have been going on:
- Boulder: perfect city is perfect.
- Aerial fabric: Alyssa (Whismeybox design extraordinaire) and I are taking an aerial fabric class and are obsessed. If taking over the craft world doesn’t work out, we can literally run away and join the circus!
- Biking: everyone, all the time
How was your weekend?
Circus Circus- named for the coolest place we always wanted to go as kids. It was a Chuck E Cheese type place we looooooooved. Some Googleing resulted in falling down this rabbit hole where someone has commemorated the old strip mall it was in with a really long, detailed post. Why!? I suppose for he same reason that I read every word of it.

…GREECE! I’ll get back to that in a second.
First, you should check out the new DIY leather card case project posted on Whimseybox. It’s the updated leather card case project I taught at Craftcation, and you can download the pattern for free.
Second, this morning I picked up the keys to our NEW OFFICE! Wouldn’t it be awesome if I saved up that news until we were moved it and it was decorated like some kind church of DIY and technology? Maybe, but there’s no way that was going to happen. I’ll do a longer post soon once I take some pictures and we move in. Can. Not. Wait!
Third, I’m going to GREECE to speak at a conference next month. How awesome is that? It’s great to look forward to, since this my house looks like this right now…

It is snowing today, AGAIN. Argh. On the bright side, it was beautiful this weekend. Come on spring, stay a while! In other news, I think we should be moving Whimseybox into an office this week. You have no idea what a relief this will be. Sorting everyone out of the moving boxes finally, having room to work on projects and having some separation between home and work. Cross your fingers!
