So it’s about time that Chesapeake Tides get a face lift! Before I had gotten some nautically themed paper from Paper Source and used that to wrap up my ties and sealed them with some Washi tape. Now, I plan to keep things more simple but just as…Chesapeake Bay inspired. While I spent last weekend with the family in Laguna Beach, I came across a home decor store that was filled with all things nautical.{I wanted to purchase everything for my future home} I’ve been wanting, for a long time now, try out Bakers Twine. Well, this little home decor store happened to have some of that…in Navy!{perfect! no?}
This summer I told myself that I was just going to stick to creating my own designs to be more original and so that you wouldn’t be able to find the fabric I use, in other Etsy shops. Yeah well, that didn’t happen. When I took a little visit to my local fabric store they of course had a HUGE selection of their Christmas fabric out and I couldn’t resist! I purchased a small quality of fabric to see if I liked working with it and to see if it would be a hit. WELL it’s a hit in my book & I wish I wore bow ties just so I could wear a Christmas inspired bow tie!(maybe I’ll create some hair bows;))
Christmas time is definitely one of my favorite times of the year. You get to spend time with family, friends, and eat so many cookies that you might have to go up a couple pants sizes but it’s totally worth it! It’s the holiday’s after all!!
