A New Year!!

I haven't been on here in MONTHS to update....but just to bring you back up to speed this is what's been going on in my life and creative world:

-Riley was the CUTEST little cupcake for Halloween, seriously, I have never seen a more adorable costume on a toddler before.
- I started working at Old Navy part time, and learning more and more about the retail world that I will hopefully be moving up into a higher position.
- An absolutely amazing person came back into my life, and I honestly can't stop thinking about him and how much he inspires me to be myself and be creative and live life to the fullest.
- I'm currently living at my parent's house in California. I seriously couldn't be happier to be so far away from snow.
- Riley started preschool and she has already learned so much!
- I went to Seattle to visit for the weekend, and fell in love with a whole new city.

And lastly....I have started working on my spring/summer lingerie line!!! I'm so extremely excited about it....the pieces are amazing and I would wear every single piece and feel ridiculously sexy in them. I can't wait to be finished with them and have the opportunity to show them!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic day, because I am!

I'll keep you updated with my progress =)

Shooting the Moon

So as of late, I have finished a gunmetal gray scarf, as well as a black baby cowl. They are so cute. I'm hoping that they'll get more of those yummy deep fall colors at the stores so I can make more of those opposed to colors they've had in stores forever. Guess we'll see, huh? I'm loving this hunter green yarn...definitely going to be the new project.

I'm currently listening to the New Moon Soundtrack, and am seriously feeling inspired. I know it sounds so very cliche, but I really want to visit Forks, WA and of course, Seattle. There's just something about that cloudy state that is making my heart flutter. The lush greens of the trees and surrounding vegetation, layering and all things having to do with cold weather. As much as I don't like having to live in that constantly, visiting it is perfectly ok by me =)

Blah blah blah blah.

So I'm working on a black cowl scarf right now...perfect for the girl that loves dark colors or the guy that wants to be fashion forward and warm at the same time!! If you haven't already...go check out the cowl scarves I currently have up for sale! I even have a baby/kids size one. I just added the plum cowl which is gorgeous!! I just finished a headband out of the same color, but will need to make the flower before I can put that one up. I think it would look lovely on a child or an adult! I do have a burnt orange one up for sale though currently. Now head on over to catiecc.etsy.com already!!

It's been awhile...

Haven't been too busy in the past month, moved back to California and have just been working on small projects. I've knitted two new cowl scarves which are now for sale in my etsy shop (catiecc.etsy.com) as well as a baby/kids size cowl scarf. I'm now working on a new knitted headband in plum/raspberry. It's going to be a gorgeous fall piece! I'm also working on the opening cocktail dress for a friend of mine who is running for Miss Maine USA! She's going to knock 'em dead of course...can't wait to see it on her!

That's about all that's been going on so far! Please check out my etsy shop and look at what's new for fall!!

Time to get your fall/winter wardrobe together!!

Hybrid Couture- Wedding Style!

So for the past month and a half, I had been working on a 100% bamboo knit wedding dress! It came out beautifully, and fits the bride perfectly. The fabric is wonderful to work with, and I plan on making more and more items out of it! This was my second wedding dress project...maybe there's more to come! I'll post pictures as soon as I can, I'll be photographing her wedding on August 8th so I'll get plenty of great shots!

West Market Festival 2009

The West Market Festival was a hit! There were sooo many people there this year...and I was glad a lot of people I care about were able to make it as well! My models did a fantastic job, they looked absolutely flawless on the runway. Everything turned out beautifully...I was so proud! Here's some pictures from my show.
