DIY Trunk Show & A Christmas Giveaway!

Oh my goodness, where do I even begin?!
The DIY Trunk Show was incredible.
I met so many amazing vendors & shoppers, had tons of laughs and good chats,
and got to spend the entire day with my husband!
Just wonderful, I tell ya ;)

Coffee Date

Hello, friends!
I hope Friday is treating you well.
I'm so excited to have a day off to sew.
I'm doing the DIY Trunk Show in Chicago tomorrow, so I'm sewing like crazy for tomorrow!
But I'm popping in quickly to share an outfit I wore out to breakfast with Timothy.

Oh, and expect to be seeing a lot of this striped sweater..
I bought it from Brandy Melville in Santa Monica.
It's suuuuper soft & comfy....so yep. I think I'll be wearing it tons during fall!

embroidery hoop project + DIY tea tin magnets!

I'm stocking up for an upcoming craft show in Chicago.
Next month, I'll be a vendor at the DIY Trunk Show!
I did the show last year, and I loved it.
There were so many amazing vendors and tons of amazing people.
They've moved the location to a larger building...so there's bound to be even more greatness this year!

I just started designing & stitching up these embroidery hoop pieces:








I'm trying to make as many as possible before the show!
Afterwards, I'll post everything that doesn't sell in the shop ;)

Ohhh, and I've got such a fun DIY for you today!
I found this project on Pinterest. I thought it would be fun to share!

Vintage Tin Magnet DIY:


SUPPLIES: Vintage tea tins. Any size to your liking. I used little ones.
ProMag Adhesive Magnets - I got mine from Michael's. Any craft store should carry them.


STEP ONE: Peel back paper to reveal adhesive backing.


STEP TWO: Figure out placement of magnets. I only used two, but you may need more depending on the size of your tin!


STEP THREE: Stick magnets to tin. I used thick, strong magnets...just in case ;)


STEP FOUR: Stick to your fridge! Fill will pens, flowers..whatever your heart desires!

Send me some photos if you end up doing this project!
I'd love to see different versions ;)

Have a beautiful Sunday.
xo, Christen.
