Keeping it Simple



I think I found exactly what I want to be this year and inspired by Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock of Vena Cava's sketch of a simple sexy ghost that I found here.

Might change my mind, but so far it feels right and maybe I will top it off with my lace bunny ears. ??

Happy Halloween xo

Halloween at Home




Martha Stewart Bat Mobile, directions here







Last but not least, these were so fun to make, Graveyard Ghosts from Martha Stewart found here

I have been going crazy this year with the decor for Halloween. I usually put up a candle and a few pumpkins, but with my daughter turning 8 this year I have decided to go a little bit further. I have to thank Martha Stewart for the inspiration and going for more DIY ideas then spending money. I could share more but I think you get the idea. Now a last minute costume idea?? Still have no clue what to wear/be. But I will share next week as well of course.

Have a wonderful safe Halloween everyone xo

"Substitute"

A quick pencil and pen sketch from today that I decided looked finished as is in its simplicity and quick strokes. Love when that happens.

I have been swamped behind the scenes, I guess you can say preparing for the Christmas rush already with commissions and some side projects, cannot wait to share everything!

I also wanted to share this post from Emily over at Cupcakes and Cashmere as it really hit home with me, admitting as of late too that I have been a bit more irritable and impatient. Sometimes I take on more then I should and then well a not so very fun Leigh. And I really like to be the fun happy Leigh.. So as Emily says, admitting is the first step.

"Faulty Behavior"



"We all have faults – those inherent flaws in our personalities that make us act unfavorably at times. I’d never classify myself as the patient type, but lately I’ve found myself even more irritable than usual. I’ve been avoiding movie theaters due to the loud breathers/talkers/seat kickers that inevitably sit beside me, I find myself irrationally annoyed when drivers park their cars too close to mine, and recently I ditched an interior design project because it was taking longer than expected.

I’m not justifying my behavior (especially given my own history of bad parking jobs), but sometimes it’s good to simply be aware of your (not so admirable) habits, so that you can make a change. I have plenty of faults, but my impatience certainly tops the list. What’s your biggest fault?" ~Emily

Have a wonderful Friday Night! xo

Leaf Accumulation




Sweater- Textile Elizabeth and James, Shirt- Jack, Jeans- Earnest Sewn, Belt- Vintage, Shoes - Michael Kors, Sunglasses - Spitfire.

Driving around today in love with the colors of Fall, so gorgeous and need to take a day trip to the mountains before the first snow takes away all of the color and leaves a blank canvas for winter. But so happy to finally pull out this amazing sweater from Textile Elizabeth and James In love with the textures and just enough holes to keep from feeling bulky.

I also want to mention my good feel news of the day, my Cricket print made it's TV debut this morning in Canada on CityLine.

The Details


Atlanta-Pacific

Isnt this just so inspiring? Fell in love with the collar and thought I would share this as I am working away on a commission and also trying to figure out a good bookshelf for cheap, for now. I want to eventually refurbish or find a good low long white one, but until I do I need something to hold a million books that looks good and is not too much of an investment. I am going to run over to Ikea (my first ever trip btw) for some ideas. Will keep you posted...

Hope your day is going well :) xo
