must. find. some. air.

I was having my blood drawn last week and the nurse could not

find the vein. Nightmare. After 2 minutes, she found the 

vein and said to me 'you can breathe now'. 

I seriously had been holding my breath for 2 minutes

because I could not even mentally deal with what was going 

on down there. I think that we humans do what we have to 

to get by and then finally face reality when we think

we can finally handle it. 

I have been having a very hard week. There are some issues...

my insanely late swim fabric that has still not arrived and must

be sewn by Thursday, my even later Fall design deadline, 

somehow meeting up with my sister who is in San Francisco

for the next week, and the fact that I have to have a surgery 

next Tuesday and the lovely $2000 we have to pay

until we finally reach our deductible! small 'yay'!

I literally felt like I have been holding my breath since 

Tuesday... totally unable to field phone calls and

handle normal situations. I have even cried! and 

loudly said the F word to my swim vendor yesterday. 

I have lost it. 

I must say though, there have been a couple 

shining lights amidst the darkness... 

My daughter telling me that she'll ' see me soon - bye!!' 

at preschool instead of clinging and crying and 

my husband feeding me and putting the kids to bed

for the last three nights(yipee!) 

And for you... I have the superficial goodness. 

Thank god we are like big children who never lose their

love for shiny things... because yesterday, I 

received some leather accessory fabrics

and I may have to hang them on my wall they make me 

so happy. 

Now, improve your Friday and soak these in. 

neon coral croc embossed? yes please. 

who would not love these plasti prints for 

a little bath bag?

I may eat them.

 

DYING over the ice blue. 

Ice blue clutches for everyone.

 

shiny metallics and red teal purple goodness. 

This is my fave palette, though kind of hard to see from 

the pic....

bumpy leather in bright coral, lemon, soft gold, silver, 

purple-y brown and super soft dusty purple. 

Yum-o. 

and Waxy leather. The yum-est of all. 

here's to breathing. 

Have a good weekend!!
