I have been super super busy so far in June. Busy time for me at my day job. Busy time with Two Peas. Busy. Busy. Busy. Summer should be for relaxing. And I am...I mean, I'm typing this poolside for goodness sakes. Can't beat that for an on the go office location, can ya?
Once I finish filming an upcoming commercial next week...I'll be able to breath again. But just a little. It's a good kind of busy. A fun kind of busy. The kind where I've been designing a million new projects for Two Peas patterns and external corporate clients. Drawing and thinking. Taking classes again at Columbus College of Art and Design this summer (this time in the fashion program - we watched the documentary about Valentino this week - who knew haute couture was so fascinating?!). Working up proposals for new products. And all by my itty bitty self...I styled our last photo shoot.
It was much more urban and edgy than the last shoot we did and it was really fun to try something new and a little out of my comfort zone. Although you may think my sewing is modern...to me, its uber conservative and I'm really an old fashioned girl at heart. Love antiques and old things. The dustier, rustier, and worn out the better!
Britt Lakin Photography, my commercial photographer, is amazing. Have I said that before? Only like a million times, right? I can write up the story line behind each photo that I want and let her run with it. She nails it every time. I heart her. A lot. A lot.
So here it is...a sneaky peek behind the scenes of our latest shoot. {you can click on each image to see it enlarged} {yes they are grainy...all were taken on my iphone with the exception of the one watermarked by Britt} {And no, that adorable Westie dog is not ours...Murray happened to be walking down the street and his "Dad" was gracious enough to let him be in one of our shots. Is he the cutest or what? Looks just like Coconut from American Girl!}
