Dream World

Surprisingly enough, my crocodile stitch skirt is super easy to work up! It's just a matter of staying focused long enough to complete it. I'm also pretty sure I'm using the worst possible yarn for my project because who wants to wear a wool skirt in the middle of spring/summer? Hopefully I'll finish it before it gets too warm out, but I'm in Chicago so that's still a ways away.

Andrew decided to be the sweetest ever, and bought me a fantastic necklace made by Meg J. Roberts. She's a very interesting artist who has a BFA in Craft/Material Studies. That has to be the most obscure and awesome degree I've ever heard of. She describes her sculptures as "a reflection of pleasant childhood experiences like hiding in small nooks, playing in cardboard boxes and constructing blanket forts." So she's basically describing my dream world.

Unfortunately you can't check out her structures anymore but they were wonderful. Be sure to go to her Etsy because she has such great pieces. I kind of (most definitely) want them all?


The Narwhal Necklace in blackened steel looks so shimmery and perfect, I love it so much! P.S. Peep my perfect nails:
