Logo Change

I have yet again redesigned my logo :)

Yes, I still used PicMonkey, and the same color combo of black, white, and blue. However,  I have simplified it. I am currently in love! 

Love. Peace. Happiness.

DIY Glitter Mix

Random Fact #1 - I love the color blue :)

I am working on a small project and decided it needed some sparkle. I prefer to add in that sparkle with either a gloss glaze/topcoat and/or glitter. I know a lot of crafters shy away from glitter for the mess it creates, not to mention the fact that it gets EVERYWHERE. But I figured that as a crafter, things are already destined to get pretty messy. So no need for me to try and create less mess and risk being disappointed in the results. 

The exact hue of blue I was looking for, I did not have. However, I did have a pretty aquamarine and a royal blue that I thought would look amazing together. Turns out I was right :) The royal blue stands out as the main color, but there are some pretty awesome specks of light given off by the aquamarine. 

Just in case you are wondering, I purchased the small glitter packs from Michaels in the kids crafting section. There are a multiple glitter pack combos to choose from at only a couple of dollars. 

Don't shy away from the glitter! Try out some mixes and let me know what you come up with! 

Love. Peace. Happiness.

P.S. Photographing glitter to capture the beauty of the bright colors is hard! I hope these pictures do help give you a good idea of the actual color :)

New Logo!

I made myself a logo, y'all! 

If you have been following me for a bit, you may have already noticed the new logo as I completed it this past summer. However, I figured I should also officially post about it as it is a pretty proud moment for a self proclaimed non-tech persons like myself :) 

It took some time, but I was able to play around and create something that I like :) I have always had a fascination for flowers and the color blue, so of course thats what I used. It was a process, from playing around with some intricate geometric shapes and then ending up with this. 

I did all my creating and editing online at PicMonkey, after a ton of doodling, and saved the image to my computer. 

Yay for diy logos! 

Love. Peace. Happiness.

All you need is love - the BLUE kind...

When you have beautiful yarn, where can you go wrong? These standout bright blue shades are Knit Picks Palette in Jay and Crystal Palace's Mini Mochi in Neptune Rainbow.  I did order the Knit Picks yarn online, but the Mini Mochi was purchased in person. I had the pleasure of visiting the famous San Francisco yarn store Imagiknit a couple of years ago. Yay me for using up my stash! And if you have never been to Imagiknit, you must go. Both the customer service and the yarn selections are AMAZING! 

I recently watched Too Too Amy's great YouTube tutorial on quick and easy crochet hearts and found this yarn combo to be perfect. As you can see, I could not stop making them :) 

The turquoise section of the Mini Mochi proved to be my favorite as you can see :) But for each of the hearts, I have to say I am head over heels, goggly eyed for the Knit Picks Jay. Literally the perfect beautiful, bright blue. 

I'm now leaving you with two more pretty pictures, just cause I couldn't stop snapping and I'm hoping you can't stop looking :) 

Love. Peace. Happiness.
