Sweet!

Thanks to Lucky Magazine's children's addition, I found Sarah Jane Studios!  I don't have little girls but if I did, I imagine a world like this!  Sarah Jane is an illustrator who not only designs prints and beautiful postcards but jewelry and, my favorite, needlepoint patterns.  I remember cross stitching as a child which is much different than needlepoint but still such a fun, easy form of art to share with your kids.  It seems so sad to me that back when I was little we would take the time to make something beautiful and now we just run to the store to buy it.....  I love the needlepoint art on top, "Make do or do without"!

I was at a meeting for the gala dinner that I'm designing the decorations for and we don't have a big budget, in fact it will be a miracle if I can pull it off in budget.  Someone from previous years, a little older than me, said something like 'we're from a different generation, we make things and you kids just go out and spend money like it's nothing'.  I wanted to scream "I don't, I make things, I love handmade things, I don't run out and waste money......do I?  Maybe not as much as I wished I did.
