Giveaway + Happy Anniversary Post

Hosting a Giveaway + Grateful for New beginnings this year

Today, I have something special to celebrate. In November of last year, I began this site, with the intention of sharing DIY content and starting a conversation about diy, textiles, woodworking and design. I am excited to announce that it has been 1-yr of learning and sharing also known as my blogiversary, yay! To celebrate I am giving something away from my hand-dyed collection.

Foremost, I wanted to thank you, my readers, along with the blogging community and the new friends and creative people that I have met this year. It has been super fun, and I would not be doing this without you!
​
This year has been especially renewing and inspiring to me. My vision for this space to share workshops, DIY and design is emerging as we go! To look back at the first post on ever written for this site, I can see how I have grown in a year. 

When I look back over this first year, there have been milestones that have been transformative through the act of creating. Not to mention, my current studio work has expanded to include indigo, fiber arts and textile design. 

For me, these were the top 10 momentous events here on A Day in the Life in 2017. 

1. This popular post on Working As a Minted Artist
2. Fell in love with the Art of Shibori
3. Visit to Cherry Hill neighborhood of Seattle and a Designer Townhouse airbnb
4. Hosting my summer Shibori textiles workshop in Los Angeles
5. Travel to the Togetherness House in Joshua Tree, CA
6. Attending a block printing workshop with Blockshop textiles 
7. Joining in the Fall One Room Challenge 2017 and creating Nature Boys Bedroom 
8. Dedicating a page to original DIY projects and content 
9. Designing a new set of Shibori Tea Towels sold through Houzz marketplace 
10. Enrolling and completing the Blog Life course created by A Beautiful Mess 

In 1 short year, I have learned so much. I am grateful, for all of those new friendships and artists that I came across this year, I can't wait to see what unfolds in 2018. I plan to start making DIY videos on my Youtube channel and hosting more workshops, so please continue to follow along with me!
