fontifier

Fontifier is a website that let's you create a font out of your own handwriting for only $9. You print out the template, write in all the letters, scan it back onto your computer, and upload it onto their site. They even let you preview it before you buy! I like the idea of Fontifer, although I think I still want to invest in a tablet in the near future.

I found Fontifier on How About Orange

woolrich weekend

I went to Woolrich, PA this weekend, which is where my dad works and lives during the week. My dad is a textile designer at Woolrich. We got a chance to take a tour of Woolrich (the woolen mill) and see the whole process of turning wool into yarn and then weaving it into fabric. It was A LOT to take it, but it was all very interesting.

new purchase: sewing book

I am really excited about my new purchase, Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing: Patterns and How-To for 24 Fresh and Easy Projects. I can't wait for it to arrive! I really want to dive into a handmade/sewing project to start off the semester. I am going to need to find a good place to go and get some fabric. On another note, my wish list on amazon has been growing very rapidly lately... it's about time I start building up my library! (funds permitting, of course).

Wish List + Olive Jade Flower Necklace

I found this necklace posted on Print & Pattern and had to check out Pebble Jewellery on Etsy. AND! they are from England, which makes it that much cooler- it totally reminds me of something you would find at portobello market.

I am loving these illustrations on Daily Candy.

Tortoise Shell Flatware

I'm obsessed with tortoise shell. I found these on a blog that I just recently discovered call Dose of Design and the flatware is from Carloyne Roehm.
