Doom Town Productions presents Sweet F.A. 2010

This is the 6th year I have participated in this show. I have to say it's my favorite to do because it's fun to go to and watch. No boring sitting in seats, and the majority of my favorite Portland designers are showing in it. Hope to see you there!

Blue Fiddles

No I'm not sad, I actually LOVE this time of year. Call me a native-rain-loving-sun-hating-Oregonian. Anyway, Blue Fiddles is a Portland made web series that premiered Monday night at the Hollywood Theater.
If you have a chance check it out. I provided a couple of items for wardrobe.

Bargain Hunting 101: 2010's 1st session

I will again be doing the fantastic sale of all sales Bargain Hunting 101. Conveniently during the Super Bowl on February 7th. 12-5 at the Crystal Ballroom. Free to get in, and there is a full bar. I will be in the same booth as Billie Joe Retro. Come see us, and get some killer deals!

Neat Sheet

If you are in the Portland area, perhaps you have noticed a new blog in town. The Neat Sheet I really dig it. It seems to know everything going on, sales, events, ect. Best thing, it's not snarky! In fact it's actually funny with out making fun of stuff. Not that I don't love D-Listed.com, or Regretsy, but I don't need attitude when I want to figure out what is going on around town. Anyway, if you haven't check it out. Plus, it looks pretty.

Curves Ahead

Look at what I stumbled upon this evening (thank you Nicole of Union Rose):

$21 + a can of gold spray paint

So along with sewing up a storm, I've been trying to make the studio pretty. Yesterday Janeane and I had some impromptu pillaging action. We stopped at an estate sale on the way back from breakfast, and did a quick hit to the Bins on the way back from the fabric store. This is what I created:

I love gold spray paint.

Happy New Years!

This year has been a whirlwind. Some good, quite a bit bad, and a lot in between. I am glad to be kicking 2009 to the curb, and welcoming in a fresh decade and New Year. 2010, I hope you are awesome!

That being said, I'd like to thank the below people/things for being part of my life. I am truly grateful to the network of amazing people around me.

Alicia Mickes. My lovely friend/model/art director/web designer who could probably put Martha Stuart in a headlock.

Seyta Selter. Most definately someone I do not see enough of, and am constantly amazed at her ability to dress the gents so dapper.

Other stuff......

I like making clothes just fine, but sometimes I get to do fun "other" stuff. Recently my studio mate Carolyn and I made large curtains to help divide up our landlords giant home studio. I think they look pretty cool, and personally enjoy making really ginormous things. Here they are:
