Owiles are birthed!

One year I brought many little Owlies into the world...

Oops, I did it again.






These two are listed on my Etsy page right now, and more are coming this week. As well as customs!

Day 3 & I can ride a bike




Did you see that? I can ride a bike! That is stationary....

Well the outfit was because I was cold... So long sleeves and corduroy dress. I love this dress but there is no elasticity in it so you can't lift your arms... Not very good for work. The blouse was my mom's from the 70's and is from India, it's supposed to have elastic in the sleeves, but its shot. I think I like the sleeves billowy.

And there's my bike, and my christmas tree behind me :)

Dressember Day2 & How to Put on a Sweater




Day 2!



I'm going to be a bit ridiculous in this post cause I don't have much to say.

First off yay for this outfit!



Look I'm shoving the world... and damn girl, look at that rump! I got a biggin'



I'm diving into the wave and then swimming, if it isn't obvious! :) And it is always good to wear bike shorts under your dress.






Oh look! Now I'm surfing that sweet barrel! Dude! Gnarly! Kowabunga!



Oh and here is my hand, admiring my ring.



Ok Lauren, put your sweater on and get back to work.

Dressember! & How to Change Art


So I hopped on a band wagon!! Wowzers!

Blythe from the blog Blythe Hill is doing a second annual Dressember where you wear 31 dresses... Well I have never restricted what I wore but I thought it would be a good challenge since I have a ton of dresses. I know already I may stretch the rules like wearing a skirt and a dress, a dress as a skirt, etc. But I think it'll be fun to reinvent how you wear dresses and keep it fresh, I'm sure I will pull inspiration from the Uniform Project. And I think I am going to go for the gold of a different dress a day... I just counted 25, I probably have 5 more stashed somewhere :)




Here's my first day, December 1st. And who knows I might have already broken the rules... shhh! The skirt I have over the dress I was afraid may be too short and the colors in it went so well with this dress. I think they look amazing together! I'm so happy with this outfit! And the skirt is Ebony's from Ebony and Ivory via our Here to There exchange!!



The earrings were my birthday present from my amazing friend Marlee! I love them!! She sometimes lurks around on the blog leaving comments, hehe. She's in SF so I hardly see her, but we've been friends since 7th grade, even though we met at a band concert in 6th grade, we played flute!







Also as you can see I'm showing you what I do... I change art. Look at that! It's really hard. And now look at me dance!

Etsy Coupon Code and some Here to There



Nothing much to talk about today, worked, wrote, did some other stuff... Got together with Miss Sam to get a giveaway ready... That's right a giveaway! When is this giveaway? Well my dears you will just have to wait and see. haha! But I can say it is fashion related!!





Anyway, the outfit. Dress is Sara's via the Here to There swap, and the shirt was my b-day present from Sara! I've worn it so much already!!! She also gave me a dress that I wore on monday... but didn't take a picture. Sorry! Oh and sorry about the quality of these pics... it's my point and shoot, and was dark by 4p here, wha? And all rainy.



And starting today, posting tomorrow I'm starting Blythe's Dressember challenge to wear dresses everyday of December. Which I just found out about pretty much today through Katie of Tinda Keelie.

I'm still going to do my 12 days of Christmas as well, so those pictures may be breaking the rules, but I will also post my dress outfit for the day (cause I think some of my 12 days outfits may be too ridiculous to actually wear) Oh and you girls that said you want to participate in the 12 days please email me {sparrowandurchin@gmail.com} or leave your email in the comment!!



I'm excited, but I know I'm not going to be as true as some, because I have another project for the month!



Now time for my own self promotion. For the month of December I'm offering 15% off on my etsy shop when you use the coupon code HOLYDAYZ! Give the gift of art! And support the arts!
