Bliss & Miscellaneous

One of my favorite things about Fall is the smells of cider and pumpkin.
I found these amazing (foaming) handsoaps while digging thru shopping at TJMaxx recently.

The scents are “Harvest” and “Spiced Pumpkin” and not only do they smell delicious – the packaging is adorable.

The company website is here. But it seems that they don’t sell directly to the public. Too bad. BUT they do have an Amazon store so head over a buy some and enjoy fall without the baking.

I’m adding a new section to the blog. Since I’m a full-time graphic designer I run across interesting fonts all the time, but don’t often have a chance to use them (sadness).

So I’m creating a section for fonts that I love but perhaps haven’t had the chance to use yet. Perhaps I’ll just make up projects to show them some love.

Beaded belts can retail for up to hundreds of dollars. However since I had plenty of time and the wedding-crazies I decided to make my own.

Unfortunately I ended up not choosing a dress style that needed a belt. But I suppose now I can just wear it when I want to be fancy. I think if I made other ones in different colors that could add a lot to a simple dress.

Also this tutorial could also be used on a smaller scale to make beaded headbands.
