Not too shabby D.C. metro, not too shabby...Celebrating the Great Mountain Forest last night at a fabulous dinner in the forest! 🌲 I did the graphic design for the menus and table ‘numbers’ inspired by the fabulous bandana napkins designed by @hopedana. All in all the night went off without a hitch, though I did end up giving a ride to one adorable little hitch hiking mouse who accidentally rode home on the hood of my car!Helping put together a gala dinner for tonight and look at all these stunning flowers!Working on my second #weavingwithinreach bowl! I’m probably going to try dipping this one partially in indigo once it’s done. So far I’m loving the shape, we’ll see how that holds up as I get further along. This is a different rope than my first one, thinner and without a stiff nylon core so the finished product will probably be softer but hopefully will take the dye well.Taking advantage of this bonus day off to finally try this woven bowl project from the new book by @flaxandtwine Weaving Within Reach! I’m loving how it’s turning out so far! I just can’t decide how tall it should be... #weavingwithinreachThis weekend I had the great pleasure to attend the first @creativesocialretreat with 19 other amazing women and 5 incredible teachers. Here are some examples of the fun work we created over 36 jam packed hours. 💐 When I signed up for the retreat I knew we were going to be learning new skills during 5 special workshops but what I didn’t expect was the genuine warmth of each teacher and their openness and willingness to share not only their artistic knowledge but also their advice and support as badass female entrepreneurs. 💐 I’ve always loved crafting and art but I’ve never really spent time with a tribe of fellow crafters and artists the way I had a chance to this weekend. I can truly say I left with some amazing new friendships. I’m so honored to be included in the first alumni group with these other fabulous women!About Me
