I'm baaaaaaack! Whoo boy, what a year it's been. For real, though, we're already half way through it! I've spent the past 7 months doing many things:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Coming to terms with our new Reality Show Government</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-Listening to NPR obsessively</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Changing jobs!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Buying a condo!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Building elaborate <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BTfTxPtgTeO/" target="_blank">paper flower arrangements</a></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Waiting for the NW winter to finally end</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you're not from Seattle, then you probably don't know that we had the wettest winter since the city started recording rainfall in 1895! As of February, we'd had more snow than Minneapolis. It was a <i>dark </i>winter, and needless to say, made it very hard to get outside for photos. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I was going crazy in January, so I took a week to mope and then got myself started on some new projects. First off, I subscribed to Illustrator and turned some of my hand lettering into <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/511781729/sisterhood-french-feminist-greeting-card?ref=shop_home_feat_3" target="_blank">feminist greeting cards</a>. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In April, I joined the team at <b><a href="https://waywardcollective.com/" target="_blank">Wayward</a>, </b>a brand new Exploration-centered store based here in Seattle. It's been an adventure, for sure, and a learning experience! I'm one of the shopkeepers, but I've also had the luck of going on a vintage buying trip with our assistant buyer. That's right, we also carry a bit of vintage fashion! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The past couple of months, I've also been working like mad on crepe paper flowers. I build each bloom by hand and use a Cameo or punches to make the leaves. It takes forever, but is so incredibly rewarding. If you're in Seattle, you can see some of my work at <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BVIYILYBszh/" target="_blank">Beats & Bohos</a></b> in Greenwood.</div>

Why, hello again! I got what I wished for. It's sunny and almost 70<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14.4px;">° outside! Certainly not a typical November day, but then again, it is Election Day, so perhaps the sun is getting ready to explode. That way we could just all forget this whole thing. I've only cried a little bit, but I'm sure more tears are in my future. And alcohol. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14.4px;">I don't own a pantsuit, but I thought little stars on navy blue and some red lipstick were nasty-enough. I just can't believe I got the chance to vote for a woman, from a major party, who has an actual chance to be president. It's going to be a crazy night, no matter what the outcome. Here's to a stronger, happier, America!</span></div>

I hate to start a blog post by talking about the weather, but it affects my posting so much, I can't help it! This October has been the rainiest on record. Boo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time last year, I had 4 posts published in October, and was ramping up on Etsy for the holiday season. I noticed the other day that my product views were way down, mainly because I hadn't listed anything new on Etsy. That's when I realized I hadn't gone out to take photos with a real camera (not just my phone) in weeks, resulting in zero new listings and zero blog posts! I'm hoping November is a little drier (or a little snowier?!) so I can take some actual outfit photos!</div>

This, I've realized, is my favorite top right now. I bought it in the Madewell summer sale and wear it far too often. The crisp white cotton, the swing style, the cropped length; one of those tops that even if it looked absolutely terrible on me, I would still be in love. With the spotted cotton pants, it's just the right amount of quirky.</div>

Ahh, the perfect example of why I rarely shop online. While I like the <i>idea</i> of these <b><a href="http://www.tobi.com/bottoms/pants#color_id=89718" target="_blank">culotte pants</a></b>, in the end, they are not for me. Already, they're a tricky style to pull off, but these ones are especially ill-fitted for my body type. Too short? Too wide? Too olive? Probably all that and more. The important part is that I tried. Tobi sent them to me to for free and I must keep my promises to show them off. Better luck next time!</div>

The generous souls over at <b><a href="http://www.tobi.com/" target="_blank">Tobi</a></b> recently approached me to do a review of some of their clothes in exchange for free duds. They offer 50% off your first order when you sign up for emails! Pretty sweet deal, especially since most of their styles are more on the minimalist side, which is what I'm into right now. I wanted a dress, but had a bit of trouble finding things that weren't disastrously short. While I love the look of mini dresses on other people, they're not for me. Plus, I wanted something to wear to work. I settled on <b><a href="http://www.tobi.com/dresses/midi-maxi-dresses/midi-dresses#color_id=88879" target="_blank">True Love Strapless Midi Dress</a> </b>and the <b><a href="http://www.tobi.com/tops/sweaters-cardigans/cardigans#color_id=82963" target="_blank">Snuggly Mornings Cardigan</a>. </b>The dress looks great but is secretly a mini dress. You really can't move without showing off your underwear because the wrap is only secured in one place: above your boobs. It's basically like trying to wear a towel. I might try it with some little black bike shorts on a day I don't have to work. It's just such a pretty style!</div>

OMG, tomorrow is my birthday!! I usually throw a relaxed, but large get together down at the beach, but it seemed like too much work. I'll probably regret not getting all my friends together, but sometimes you just don't feel like being the center of attention. Instead, I'm going to have lunch in Ballard, with my mom and sister, then wander wherever I feel like wandering. After all, that's my favorite activity.</div>

By far one of my favorite <a href="https://www.valuevillage.com/" target="_blank">Value Village</a> finds, this dress makes me feel cool enough to be in Ferris Bueller. I'm now always on the look out for 80s-era plaids similar to this one.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">The Coach was in immaculate condition when I found it at </span><a href="http://crossroadstrading.com/" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Crossroads Trading</a><span style="text-align: center;"> but of course I've put a few miles on it. It's rare and the cognac leather just a shade darker than the classic English Tan. The minute I saw it on the wall behind the cash register, I knew it was going in the collection. It was a steal at $35!</span></div>

One of my best friends from high school was in town this week, so I took some days off from work and enjoyed a staycation. We went to Golden Gardens on Thursday and, yesterday, had a small potluck with our friends down in Tacoma. Tiana's summer visits are about the only thing I ever plan for during the summer, and they're always special. We've known each other since 3rd grade! It goes without saying, we're pretty comfortable talking about anything. On Thursday, she let me know she wasn't happy with my lack of blog content. I've missed blogging regularly, and I'm happy to have the encouragement. </div>

On Saturday, we went to San Francisco and Trevor gave me a tour of the neighborhood he lived in last summer. We also ate dinner at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Stuffed-445376122177154/" target="_blank"><b>Stuffed</b></a>, a Polish pierogi restaurant he frequented. </div>

It's just the right amount of shapeless, especially when it's 85 degrees! I found it while thrift shopping, of course. It's made of pin striped chambray and looks so cool over a crop or bandeau top.</div>

You wouldn't think a fridge would need a make-over, but here we are. Mine needed one desperately. Photos and thank you cards from 5 years ago, expired coupons, crappy magnets that don't hold anything up. You get the gist. We even had our marriage certificate buried under drawings by my niece. It was the perfect reason to get crafty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whether your fridge needs some brightening up or you're just in a crafting mood, these magnets are a quick project that can be done on the cheap. You can get almost everything you need at the dollar store. Or splurge on some fancier silk flowers from the big craft store in your town. I recommend strong magnets, since the flowers tend to be a bit heavier. </div>

Start by pulling the flowers off their stems. Trim as close as you can. If your blooms start to come apart, you can just glue them together!</div>

Apply enough glue to securely hold the bloom to the magnet. I would say about 1/8 of a teaspoon. I start by applying the hot glue directly to the center and then circling outwards once or twice.

My favorite trend of the moment has to be sleeveless mocknecks. Will it make sense in 6 months? Probably not. Will I donate them all back to Value Village by Christmas? Most likely. But for now, I'm digging the minimalist vibe they bring to an outfit.</div>

I've been looking for this skirt for approximately 3 years. I finally found it at the Goodwill, but man, it took a long time! There are two lessons here: first, don't expect to find exactly what you're looking for immediately. Most importantly, though, is you <i>can</i> find that perfect piece. And for so much cheaper!</div>

If you're a follower of any of my social media accounts, you know that I love carving my own stamps. I was hoping to teach a class on it at work, but it just hasn't worked out, so I'm doing a mini how-to here on the blog! Thanks to UncommonGoods, I was able to try out <b><a href="http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/carve-a-stamp-kit" target="_blank">Yellow Owl Workshop's Carve-A-Stamp Kit</a></b>. It's a great kit for someone just starting out! </div>

Okay, down to business. I always have an idea, or little obsession, I wanna turn into an image. Sometimes I draw it directly onto my rubber block, but usually I sketch out some different versions before making a decision. This bird was a little more complicated, so it took more research. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When designing your stamp, consider how you want it to print. Do you want your image to print solid, <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/232348809/amethyst-greeting-card-hand-carved-stamp?ref=shop_home_active_23" target="_blank">like this crystal</a>?</b> Or do you want to have lots of white space with the printed part being thin detail lines? If you're just starting out, I recommend coming up with a design that prints like the crystal. It's much easier to carve.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you get the kit, it comes with everything you need. Not shown: a little pencil, a sheet of ideas, directions, and a transfer sheet. I have a box of vintage carbon paper, so I usually use that to transfer my image. <b>Remember: your image will be reverse once carved!</b> This is critical if you decide to carve a word or phrase. Make sure you carve the word backwards so it reads right when printed.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The set of carving knives in the kit are great for starting out, but if you want to do more detailed stamps, you're gonna need something sharper. I use Speedball, especially the smallest blade, No. 1, which is a V-shaped blade. Once I have my image transferred, I use this blade to carve out the general shape of the image. Carefully carve around the smallest details, then work up to the bigger blades for the larger areas. Carving the smaller areas first will give you a bit of a buffer when you switch to the bigger blades. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you feel like it's pretty complete, use black ink to do a quick print. This will help you find any areas you missed. You'll probably also find that the background has to be carved quite a bit deeper than expected, or it will leave little marks. Be careful not to carve all the way to the wood, though.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the blue detail, I used a chunk of MOO Professional Carving Block that I cut down to a smaller size. You can get it at Blick and on Amazon. The block that comes with the kit is double-sided, but I didn't want to waste it for such a small, plain stamp.</div>

I wish I had bigger boobies so this dress would fit better. If I were in to sewing at all, I'd downsize the bust.

It was a morning wedding, which freed up the evening for sight-seeing. Trevor was exhausted, so I drove out to Menassas by myself. I've explored many places by myself (London, San Francisco, New York, Disney Land), and I enjoy having full control over what I see and how long I stay.</div>

This is Henry Hill. It's one of many stops in the Manassas National Battefield Park and the sight of the first battle of the American Civil War. Appropriately, this was also the first Civil War battlefield I've ever visited. </div>

Growing up, this was my dad's "thing", so I was never too into it. Now, though, I think I would even go to a reenactment. It's a huge part of my family history. My great-great-grandfather, James Nesbit Beatty, was a private in the 81st Ohio and my great-great-great-grandfather, Alexander Nesbit Beatty, was an abolitionist and part of the Underground Railroad. I'm sure there are many other parts of my ancestral past that I would be less proud of, but fighting for human rights should always be celebrated, remembered, and continued.</div>

I can't believe I passed on this sweater the first time I saw it. A first look, and it's just a giant, ridiculous sweater, right? Well, I went back to Value Village a few days later to return something, and it was still there. I looked a little closer and realized it was Miu Miu! It's funny (and a little embarrassing) how a designer name can change your mind about something. Honestly, though, Miu Miu makes beautiful pieces of amazing quality, so it's easy to look past the fact that I'm slightly drowning in this sweater. It smells like baby, Italian lambs. And this might be a little gauche to talk about, but the original price point is mad. Somewhere around $1,000!</div>
