New Studio Checklist

This week I got the keys to a brand new artist studio. My first additions to the space were a pair of bibs and my favorite tool bag. I like to think of my overalls as an apron. Crafting days always have a mind of their own. You never know where your work will wind up taking you. With a pair of these guys on hand, you’re always covered.

I’ll keep you updated in the weeks to come with the fruits of this new work space. In the mean time, take a closer look at my new studio must haves: Carhartt Women’s Denim Bib Overalls & Legacy Tool Bag.

Trails of Hay and Sawdust at The Office: The Sure Sign of a Country Girl

WOMC Detroit radio personality, Holly Hutton, gets up early. That’s to be expected when you work the morning show. But when you have 6 horses, 5 chickens, 3 cats, a poodle, and a giant rabbit, a 3am wake up call is unavoidable. Holly leaves a trail of hay and sawdust behind her at the office, the sign a true animal lover.

Holly is wearing the Carhartt Women’s Zeeland Sandstone Bib.

The Littlest Helper

It’s not the size of the helper that matters, it’s the size of their heart. Meet Dallis. She just turned one and loves to pitch in on her family’s farm in Hawaii. Dallis is wearing a handmade headband, crafted with love by her mom, Haley who writes Ripped Jeans & Glitter.

Sometimes You Just Need to Make a Mess

One of my best stress relievers is painting— how the paint moves around the canvas naturally, flowing together in some places and beautifully discordant elsewhere.

When I paint, I throw on a pair of Carhartt bib overalls. Since I’m the master of making a mess when I get into arts and crafts mode, they are the perfect thing to wear. I don’t mind when paint splatters on them. In fact, I kind of love it. It shows that they are well loved and I remember all the things I’ve made while wearing them.

Another reason why they are perfect for us ladies is that the clasp that hooks the strap onto the button in front is flat so that it doesn’t catch onto long hair. (We all know how much it can hurt when your hair gets caught while working.)
