My “little trip”.
Yes, I went on a little trip – let me tell you how it was… IT WAS A BLAST!! I went to a fashion show, specifically Vancouver Fashion Week. My first! My sister J.A.M.

Jungle January and I made it just in time!
Technically speaking, it is still Jungle January here. Hop on over to Pretty Grievances to see all the WILD garments that she has rounded up! In the last few waking hours of the day I would like to show you my second Jungle January garment – something that I am very happy with… even if…

Jungle January and a black & blue Ocelot!
I love starting the year off with #JungleJanuary at Pretty Grievances! (Above image property of Pretty Grievances.) I usually don’t add jungle prints to my fabric stash, but I am always inspired by Jungle January. This year I have found two fabrics – one being a black & blue Ocelot. It’s called a Harmony Jacquard, 58%…
