(nyk-lectic) and HydraHeart Collaboration.

Molly and I put our talents together and came up with a tote and shoe set. Perfect for the fall season coming up. You can find them in my shop and hers.

Enjoy your last few days of summer.

Knox's 1st Photo Shoot.

Just a few of all the perfect photos. Thanks to our friend Suzanne.

Veggies in the garden.

Here is the veggie garden and grass today. My parents have grown fruits and veggies for our family all my life and even before my life. It is such a delight to have to space for my own garden now. And with the help of my parents everything is growing in perfect.


Bell Peppers. I planted one green bell plant and one yellow bell plant.


Heirloom tomatoes. My absolute favorite. I love the mini heirloom too.


Roma tomatoes. These are easy to grow ... thats why the market has them so cheep.


These are the beginnings of a white pumpkin plant and two black zucchini. Tucked inside a homemade planter box ... thanks Pop.

Veggie Garden

We started a veggie garden in our little backyard. That was over a month ago ... I've been meaning to post these pictures. But lucky for you, you get the before and after in one day. Well, the midway point because nothing is ready to be picked just yet.

Meet Knox.

Our new puppy. He is an 11 week old Teacup Maltese. He only weighs 1.4 pounds and when he is full grown he will be around 3.5 pounds. We LOVE him.

(nyk-lectic) will be vending at Unique LA this weekend. I will be sharing a booth with the Craft Mafia girls. Come and check us out along with 270 or so other vendors.

My New Sewing Room.

As you can see from the top photo ... I have a pile o projects I'm working on. Hence the reason this blog has been pretty lonely lately. We moved into a two bedroom house a few months back ... so until we start planning for a little one ... I get a sewing ROOM. I attempted to take some photos of the room ... but I could only get close up photos to come out decent.

The Mafia.

I am a new member to the Long Beach Craft Mafia. Check it out.

Pleated Clutch.

A new design for my etsy shop. A clutch with a pleat. It is perfect for those few things you need for a night out. Made with wool for the outside and lined with satin.

Scoodie ... part scarf. part hoodie.

Its a hoodie with a scarf attached. Made with corduroy and faux fir. I just traced my favorite hoodie in my closet and attached the long strips for the scarf. I'm gonna try and add a pocket to the scarf on the next batch.
