You guys....I have been so busy lately, it is INSANE!  Here's a peek

-Another day of class!!! I always dress up because, like, I'm a fashion design student now, so I have to look awesome for pattern drafting, obviously.

-I made these Chai Sugar Cookies for book club this week (you're welcome)

-I made this Strawberry Galette for supper club last week (you're welcome again)

-My beautiful friend got married last weekend

-I attained some loafers!

-Yet another class--apparently this is my 'in class selfie face'

Hope you're all doing wonderful!

Local Love: Macarons by Holly

Hello!  Today I am THRILLED to share about a new local love: Macarons by Holly

Some of you might be familiar with Holly who used to write the fabulous Create Loves blog.  I found out in summer that Holly was going to be selling macarons at our local Farmer's Market, and I was so excited!

My husband and I received macarons as a wedding present; That was the first time I'd ever had them and I am HOOKED!

So far my favorites from Macarons by Holly are: Lemon, S'mores, Lime Basil, and...oh who am I kidding, I love them all!

If you are in the Morden area, make sure you check out these fabulous treats on Thursdays from 4pm-7pm at the Farmer's Market, I promise you, you won't be disappointed :)

September

Did you know we're in the middle of September already?? How did that happen??  I pulled out sweaters this week...oy.

So, you may have been thinking to yourself, where did that Heidi girl go?  Well, to answer your question, I didn't really go anywhere, but I have been insanely busy with a LOT of things.  Where do I begin...

1. I went back to school!  I started an evening class at a community college in the city where I am officially in the Apparel Design Program!!!  Here's me on my first day:

I'm learning how to create patterns and all kinds of cool stuff which means-I will slowly work my way to creating better quality garments!!! I'm loving it!

2. I'm showing some pieces in a charity fashion show in mid-October and there are a lot of deadlines to hit at this point including model fittings, outfit descriptions to send in, etc.  Crazy bananas.

3. I've been reading this book for a book club I'm in, I really enjoyed it, if you liked Hunger Games, you will probably like this one ;)

4. I've been spending time with the husband, 'cause, well, y'know I sorta like him.

Phew!  There's probably more, but who can keep their head on straight these days? I know I can't!  Hope you're all doing alright out there in the interwebs, see you next time! :)

Make it work!

I'm just popping in from a VERY busy few weeks to tell you to read the article Etsy did with Tim Gunn recently!

If you don't watch Project Runway...what is wrong with you???  Just kidding :)  But really, you should watch it!  It's my favorite show ever, and I LOVE Tim Gunn so much.  

Once I've got my routine back in order I will try to blog more again! Ha.
