interior inspirations: stick pose

Today we had a snow day in New York so I got to wake up and start my day with the lovely Adriene.  I really do love waking up early and doing my yoga before going to work, but lately I can't seem to get in bed early enough to not wake up late and be in a complete rush in the morning! Today was definitely a healthy balance of work and yoga.   Everyday should be like that.

Day 12 and lucky day 13 were all about realigning the spine and building endurance.  We sat in stick pose for a second so of course my brain went right to my new stick decor!  Sounds weird.. but it looks great!  I've got branches on the brain!  I love when my yoga practice can relate back to my art and design work.  Keeps me inspired.   

the crafternoon

I must say, the crafternoon was a success! We had such a great time, everyone made a little something, and no one burned the place down (though we had a few close calls).  And I got to keep a few creations like my new ombre phases of the moon friendship bracelet by Liz Wong, and a woven snuggly tapestry (still in the works) by Miss Kat Dawe.  My painter's pallet cheese plate was definitely the star of the show.  I must point out that I did arrange the cheese and treats by color.  So please take note! 

Everyone did such a great job.  The projects were as follows:

• Kat: woven tapestry
• Miranda: experimented with watercolors
• Lauren: friendship bracelets 
• Liz: friendship bracelets and a manicure
• Emily: pom pom banner
• Me: handmade valentine's day cards and had a little too much champagne

This was the first formal crafternoon and it certainly won't be the last! 

Also: It's day 3 in 30 days of yoga!  I'll post the video in a separate post.

interior inspirations: woven tapestries

I am currently obsessing over these wall tapestries that these talented weavers are creating!! They are SO cool.  They are the epitome of handmade perfection.  The pieces shown above are by Warped Threads and Anne Djupvik Andersen.  Absolutely beautiful. 

Lucky enough I have a friend who makes magic with fabric and yarn. We will be doing a little trade for trade!  Loving this project.  We will be documenting the process of the piece on a crafternoon hopefully in the near future!  I LOVE the mauve, camel and cream color story.  Eek! I'm so psyched.
