summer time and the living is....

errr, crazy?
Crazy in a good, crazy busy running after, running around children sort of way.
I have been one busy mama who is scared to sit down too early at night for fear that the stillness will make me drift off to sleep.

I Made this outfit a couple of weeks ago for the Bean out of some of my custom arrow fabric.

It was a good sign that the girl who normally wants to run around the house half naked doesn't ever want to take it off.
it's not too bad that it makes me smile too ;)
really, I'm not a groupie or anything....but I just LOVE that line.

How's your summer been going?

eeeeeeeek! It's here! SNEAK PEEK!!!

Remember that time at Band Camp I asked you about fabrics???
Okay, I lied. We weren't at Band Camp. We weren't even face to face.
BUT, there was a reason for my inquiries....
Remember how I told you I was a artist?? Well, I have missed it.
I have been humming and hawing and trying to figure out how I can incorporate what I am doing right now with aubreyplays AND my art.
SO, I have been a little elf behind the scenes.....
My mom always told me about putting down my bag of shoulds.
So, in honor of her and that thought.
My VERY first fabric will be used for an actual and adorable
"bag of shoulds"

I'm only giving you the sneak here.

I was too excited to wait!!

and you can't tell but it's plum on a canvas fabric that's barely grey.

and guess what, there's a couple more in the works in a retro theme of type writters and aprons.  

Hand drawn by me.

Yeow!
