broken record...

I have had a super busy week, this is why there has not been a post since Monday. Oh well. So, I am heading out of town this evening and will not be back until Monday.

I am just going to do a half-ass post and refer you once more to my mama's new shoppe! She has already sold two scarves and is SO excited about it, she even went and finally bought a super high quality sewing machine that she has been coveting for like ever. I am so excited for her. There are only a few selections of materials and prints on the actual store, the rest are in my last post.

Please go and check it out! Also, please hit the 'contact' button, on the Mama Made Shoppe homepage, if there is a certain color/pattern/fabric that you would like to have crafted into a scarf. My mama has no problem with making custom orders with no extra charge!

Support my mom! She is amazing, and makes fabulous stuff!

Have amazing weekends my friends!

must have monday {4.}...

I am super excited about this week's 'Must Have Monday'! Why? Because I spent the better part of the weekend setting up a little Big Cartel shoppe for my mama.

My mom is all kinds of fantastic. She is pretty much the queen of sewing things. Seriously. She makes me tops, skirts, purses, and most importantly scarves! I am obsessed with scarves, I wear them all year round. I am majorly swooning over the heaven that is the infinity scarf. There is only ONE thing I hate about these scarves, the price. I mean I am all about you get what you pay for, but come freaking on. When I shell out $40.00 bones for a scarf...that is unacceptable.

So, what did I do to fix this little dilemma? I went to the motherly one and pouted until she took me to the fabric store and made me a scarf. I then immediately told her she needs to start a little online store and make these for all of the interwebs to enjoy. I now present you with things YOU must have.

A 'Mama Made' infinity scarf!

Dude. I am SO not a model, but I did the best I could. Make sure to go and check out the shoppe, 'Mama Made'. There are pre-made scarves, and fabric that can be made to order. Since Big Cartel only allows you to post five items; I am cheating and throwing up some more fabric choices on my blog. If you want to order a different print just click the 'contact' button on the shoppe and tell her which one you must have!

{1.} 'Animalistic'

{2.} 'Back to Basics'

{3.} 'Black Tie'

{4.} 'Nature Girl'All of these fabrics can be whipped into a fabulous scarf in no time! Hopefully the shoppe will have something for everyone. There are animal prints, florals, neutrals, and a little bit of funk. If you prefer one of these fabrics over what is currently in the shoppe, just say so in the contact email. Let her know which one you like and *bam*! It will be heading your way shortly.

I am so excited for my mama. I hope that you all love her pretty little creations. Please, email her or comment here if there is something you would love to have but isn't available. Do you want a damask print? Some hounds tooth? Maybe some fun stripes? Or a hot pink solid? Mama will go out of her way to customize a creation to your specific taste! Don't forget to head over to Big Cartel to see her shoppe!

i challenge you {4.}...

Well, I pretty much failed in the whole '30 Day/Post Challenge'. I honestly forgot all about it. Here is a little reminder about what exactly this little challenge is all about. I am going to just pick up where I left off. Post #4 of the challenge...

Day 4-Your Siblings...

This picture slays me every time I look at it (yes it is taken in line for the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland). See that girl in the middle with the pissedspice look on her face? Yep, that is yours truly. See that guy with the stubble who is very authoritatively telling us something? That is the eldest brother Jason. See the one with the hat that is permanently attached to his head, who is clearly not listening to his big brother? That is the second oldest in our clan, Jon-than.

These two have the powers to piss me off more than anyone else on the planet. They are pretty damn obnoxious at times, but they are pretty damn awesome at other times. They are my over-protective, loveable big brothers. They make me glad I do NOT have any sisters. Seriously. Sisters sound like they suck. Brothers are for sure the way to roll.

And yes. I am the baby of the clan. Which means I pretty much always whine and get my way. I am pretty sure this pisses off both of the brotherly ones.

wise words wednesday {15.}...

I love these posts so much. I have so much fun going through images and quotes to save and use at just the right time. I love this quote. I hope to take it with me everywhere all the time, just as a little reminder. I am sick of waiting. I am ready to start living MY life.

{15.} Wise Words...

I am not going to even try to elaborate on this quote. The meaning is quite clear. All we have is now.

must have monday {3.}...

It is Monday, which means while you are reading this I am sitting at my desk, buried under a stack of paperwork trying to catch up. It also means that it is time for me to swoon over all things pretty that I will consider spending my paycheck on. On we go...

{1.} 'Multi-Task Set'-Anthropologie

Okay, so it may seem a little odd to be posting items such as this for the world to see, but it isn't like we don't all wear underwear...so just deal. How cute and comfy does this little set look? I honestly like to sleep in the littlest amount of clothes humanly possible. This would be perfect for comfy sleepwear. Plus I adore the purple. This lovely item hails from the mothership also known as Anthropologie. It sells for $80.00 bucks.

{2.} 'Just Around The Block Coat'-ModCloth

Die. Dying. Dead. Oh em gee this freaking coat was made for ME. I love coats so much, I am obsessed with gray and black houndstooth, I love the belted look, and the scarf-like neckline slays me. Me likey. I want this in a really bad way. It is from ModCloth and retails for $229.99 bones.

{3.} 'Thundershowers Felt Bib Necklace'-Fable & Lore

This is SO cute. I love this statement necklace. It would totally liven up a really simple top. You all MUST go check out this Etsy shoppe because all of her items are adorable. This bib necklace is currently on sale for only $26.00.

{4.} 'Leather Floral Blossoms'-Leather Blossoms

This is another super cute Etsy shoppe find. I love the floral headband, I especially love that the flowers are made of leather, which means they should be more durable than a fabric. The only thing I don't love about this headband? The creepy mannequin models that the seller uses. This beauty will set you back $40.00 bucks.

{5.} 'Mr. Schuster'-Glee

Wait. What? How did this get here?! Oh well he is always on my must have lists. I would wear him all day everyday...*ahem*. How much does he retail for? Well pretty sure he is priceless. I am going to go an re-watch the 'Toxic' cover from last weeks episode. I want to be his hat. Word.

Happy Monday everyone! What is currently on YOUR 'Must Have' list? Please share!

xoxo
