I have to share the newest addition to my living room decor, this West Elm pouf. I've been looking for something to rest my feet on and add an extra element of pattern. I'm in love!

DIY Shoulder Patch
When I realized one of my oldest and favorite jackets had holes around the elbows from years of wear I whipped out my sewing kit. Here are some photos to guide you if you're ever in the same situation.
I picked out one of my favorite fabrics that I designed and had printed out with Spoonflower. I cut an oval in the dimensions of 4" x 6" with a thin cardboard box and cut the fabric to size.
I tucked in the edges and pinned them down.
It took me about an hour to sew both patches. I love the end restult!

Bead Making
I always have some sort of side project that I'm working on. I feel that as a full time designer its really important to have a personal project to work on, big or small, to keep the creative juices flowing. Right now I'm making beads for jewelry!
1. With Creative Paperclay I formed different sized balls and poked holes through them. The clay hardens in the air, I give them a good 24 hours to dry.
2. I painted them with gouache and added a top coat of an acrylic sealer. Voilà instant beads for earrings and necklaces. I just love how colorful they are!
