Hello Autumn! (I think?)

September 22, 2017

So, the spirit moved me to whip up a blog today. Perhaps it was the cicadas ringing in my back yard or the twirling dance I did while listening to Enya (oh yes I did), either way – here I am. It’s hot in Minnesota, not just a mild warm-up. Nope, all out HOT to the point that my arms are sticking to my desk as I type this.  We Minnesotans can definitely take the heat and we do prefer to get out of the kitchen….especially in September.  Let’s do a quick cool down and think happy thoughts on this lovely First Day of Autumn!

Outfit 9 – Hat with Focus

August 17, 2017

This, my friends, is my handmade Trucker Hat with focus. Although it looks like I tripped head first into my flower garden this Trucker Hat gets things done. The bright pink shirt is deliberate, it’s a cool day worthy of jeans and not to mention the spectacular shoes put the BOOM in my thunder.

Outfit 7- Dressing for the Job

June 23, 2017

So, I don’t believe I have the greatest set of legs to be wearing shorts and boots at the same time and this particular Saturday morning I did not care.  It was Function and Fashion Festival in Lanesboro, MN. Actually it’s called Art in the Park, an outdoor craft show and it had rained buckets the night before at the park. Read how Bound to be Creative dresses for the job and balances function and fashion.

Do you feel needed?

March 13, 2017

That feeling of being needed or wanted or even liked – is awesome. For example, take these new knit slouchy hats pictured above, they are all unique and special in their own way and so pretty in their existence in a photo together, much like a community of special-ness. Okay, so I’m a little drama-llama with my handmade hats. Truth be told, handmade hats are not the only thing I am attached to….

Outfit #3: Color Complimenting is Key

February 12, 2017

A quick little OOTD (outfit of the day).  I wore a fun outfit a couple of weeks ago when taking some kiddos to the ortho (see photo below). I wanted to have some “express yourself fun” as I had been a nurse-mom to a daughter who had a tonsillectomy (two weeks home in bed, ugh!). As my daughter was just waking up, her eyes just about popped outta her head when she saw I was actually wearing “the tights”. She was probably thankful to be staying on the couch and not venturing out with said tights and her mom at the same time. I love the mom-perks – “shock and awe”.
