Quite busy with school, family, and running a small resale shop on Instagram called @wornbyus. Come check it out! I sell my family’s gentle worn clothes, awesome thrift store finds and vintage! You would be surprise of how much vintage is found on Insta-shops.

Of course there are lot’s of cute modern clothes (Gap, Oldnavy, Zara, Minnetonka‘s) just to name a few. Most of these Insta-shops owners are full-time momma’s like myself. It’s such an awesome community! Just a few items below I’ve sold in my shop. Don’t forget to click on the link above.

I am working on making my very own fabric labels for my knitted accessories. I honestly tried to buy some from Etsy, but I did not find any that caught my eye. So after a little research I came across a tutorial video on YouTube. Actually two, they are both easy and simple to make.

Wish me luck

And for the newcomers who also like to make their own fabric labels, Please find the tutorials down below. These fabric labels are great to tag any clothing, your childs backpack, winter accessories, etc. If you already tried making your own fabric labels, please share. I’d really like to see others creative ventures

Save the date! September 14th.

Yes I’ve neglected this blog but I have a good reason I promise.

We welcomed a new addition to our family of four. Back in April, I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. He is now four months old and such a happy baby. Wow time sure does fly by, We are very blessed to have him. Another summer gone and off to a new school year. I cannot wait to see what the fall may bring us.

While I’ve been…

M.I.A, I was offered the opportunity to work in an awesome project with El Stitch y Bitchy gals. We are exhibiting a project for ‘Dia del los Muertos’ at the National Mexican Museum next month. Keep an eye out, as I will share details soon.

With the said, I wanted to show my enthusiasm for ‘Dia del los Muertos’. I had Astrowifey go hard in the nail paint with Frida Kahlo, sugar skulls & more. Check it out!

Happy Yarn bombing!

A hooker who wanted to share the love for crochet because she couldn’t find anything on the internet. There were more love for the knittas out there and ‘Instead of usually eating and watching Arrested Development’ in Stephanie Toppin words she created ObeyCrochet.
