I bet these phrases are as familiar to you as they are to me- A. where is the summer going?! B. any vacations this summer? or my favorite C. before we know it school will start! I think we can all relate to these phrases in some way. My response to all these is A. summer is STILL here and I’m just gettin’ started B. no vacations – staycations C. good, because I need a break. I had a whole list of things I was going to do this summer and well, not a one of them is getting done, and that’s just going to have to be okay. I’m having a whole lotta fun in other areas! The shop is stocked with loud music and my handmade soul is getting a boost of inspiration.

My flower pots have returned from a long nap, the weather is a balmy 71 degrees and the garden shops are bursting at the seams with color…Sooo, why am I not bubbling with the same outta control planting enthusiasm as so many other years before?

Right Time or the Right Place?
Both. Being at the right place at the right time is all in how a person may want to perceive a situation. Recently, I encountered just this and although I could’ve scoffed, complained, judged, turned a blind eye…I didn’t. I decided to not fear it, not judge it and not read into it – I just simply said to myself – no matter what happens in life, “life” is going to find me and teach me a lesson or two in humanity.
I hope this finds you well today and everyday.
Bound to be….seeing you on Friday!
Although the fabrics I work with everyday scream F.U.N. I’m also reminded this time of year that I am so blessed that I consider my work playtime. Of course there are days that feel like I’m actually “working” but recently it feels a lot like playing, not only the fabrics but the mood of my shop (perhaps it’s because tax season is over and the snow is gone). Take a peek at what I’ve been making the last few weeks in preparation for an upcoming show. More info about the show in a minute because BEFORE I FORGET, you MY PEEPS need to head to my website to snag what’s left because ——->
Read on to see what else I’ve been working on for my NEXT SHOW:
$8 / buy tickets here
$10 / at the door

Shedding some light today into the world of curves, from my personal perspective. Having curves is all relative and we need not worry as to where they are, why they are and how we might go crazy trying to get rid of them. I am embracing my own curves in a way that I hope will inspire. I might just talk about the popular Curvy Sister Hat also.

If there’s any month out of the year that makes me want to throw on my handmade hat and hide like a hibernating bear – this month so far is a cake topper. We all have permission to hide under our corduroy hats for one reason or another – it does not matter. Instead of getting all giddy about my sweetheart on Valentine’s Day and spiffing up my shop for a fresh look- I have had more than a few days of unwashed hair and adjustments to our new home schedule – not all roses, but not all thorns either….

Fold your hat for travel this summer! Your Bound to be Creative handmade hat will thank you! Watch the video right here!
Now, you have your sunscreen, beach bag, flip flops, sunglasses and hat! Wherever you travel to this summer be sure to bring your Bound to be Creative hat. It’s essential for those no-wash hair days of summer, especially when you just rolled out of that comfy guest bed and remembered Aunt Norma wants to take you boutique shopping in ten minutes. Your hair might protest, but your hat is there to save the day.
(Oh, don’t be distracted by the not-so-fancy-touched-up red nails. I didn’t exactly plan for a photo shoot today.)
