Awesome ladies in my life**

I have talked about my "Monday Morning Group" aka "Ladies Independent Design League" or aka "LIDL" and here I am featuring all of them in their awesomeness!

Steph has been prepping for shows like crazy! Check her out this weekend at SF Zinefest where she'll not only be selling brand new items, but will also be teaching a FREE WORKSHOP  on how to embroider DIY gadget cases at 12 noon this Saturday!

Willo recently shot her third WilloToons Connect episode, with a delightful guest that has SO much wisdom and insight to share around self-care and finding balance amidst stressful times; a perfect fit for Willo's mission of "Inspiring Creative Sustainability in Life & Business." Sign up on Willo's mailing list to be notified when new episodes go live and the launch of her upcoming Set Goals, Get Organized, Take Action e-course.

 Jen is off to Istanbul, Brussels and London for a month to soak up inspiration and fill her sketchbook. Starting next week, she'll share photos and illustrations from her trip on her blog. In the meantime, check out her blog to find out how she uses post-it notes to stay on top of things.

 Recently Cindy Ann's been itching to make a change: she's been obsessed with this dip-dyed hair trend. Have you seen it? ...And How cool!!! Her work is now available at enGreet!!

Amelia and I had a fun filled photoshoot this week (photos to come soon!) This fall GoGo Craft is launching two out-of-this-world SpaceCraft workshops at San Francisco Public Libraries.  These workshops will be featured as part of the One City One Book: San Francisco Reads.

I had a great time photographing Amelia in all her craftiness and I can't wait to share some of the photos soon!  I also booked my first wedding shoot...SUPER excited!

Happy Weekend ~
