kacey’s mom has a good friend who is a very talented embroiderer, stitcher + quilter, and she’s working on creating a new workshop space for all of her threads, fabrics, supplies + machines. i thought i’d put together some of my favorite craft rooms + sewing spaces for her. if you click on each picture above, it will take you to the source and more pictures of that workspace.

do you have any sewing room resources? if so, please leave a link to them in the comments. thanks!

labor day weekend kacey and i went to the austin premiere of handmade nation. it was held at the alamo drafthouse, and it was the first time we’d ever been there. the film was followed by q & a with the director, faythe levine, and several of the artists featured in the film. we had quite an inspiring + fun time!

above is some of the swag that we got for attending. the first pic is the front of the tote everything came in. courtesy of sublime stitching, it came with instructions + thread so that we can embroidery it ourselves. very fun!

loving the packaging for these children’s natural art supplies. it’s clean + simple. and i love how the color pops against the stark white packaging.  |  via the die line

maybe it’s too early to be thinking halloween, but i’m really looking forward to it and hosting a little gathering. i’ve been filing away inspiration pics + recipes like these from martha.

i love this collaborative type poster designed + printed by the occasional print club. the detail is wonderful - hand-set metal type letterpress printed in three colors.

i have a lot more i’d like to do with our studio space. things like adding more shelving, adding doors to existing cabinets and hanging up artwork. so, when i saw this lovely redo, i wanted to make note of it. i completely love her studio makeover. i love the mix of old + new, the soft colors + patterns and the touches of whimsy.

such sweet illustrations by san francisco based designer tomoko maruyama. i especially love the soft colors. it’s like a breath of fresh air.

images from talented [and quite funny] designer + illustrator happy menocal. i got lost in them for a good half-hour today and very much enjoyed it.

in the middle of nowhere, i’d love to happen upon this. who knew a time capsule could be so lovely?  |  via all the mountains via unicorn diaries
