deep breath.

today we fell back in love with our city. ✨ #OHC2017 #franklloydwright #chicago

I knew I was gay for as long as I remember. Spoiler alert: my first kiss was with a girl and all my middle school “boyfriends” are now proud gay men. (When you know your tribe, you know your tribe.) I was never really afraid of being a gay person, I knew it to my deepest core, but the people pleaser in me was terrified everyone I loved and adored would be out the door the second I admitted it out loud. I still remember the feeling of coming out— the stumbling over words, the fear of ‘once you say it it’s out there forever’, the sleepless nights and the worrying I’d lose everything. I also remember the shock of endless support, and the love. so much love. But the weight–the weight of letting go of something that felt like it was smooshing you was something I will never forget. Nothing has ever felt more freeing. For over a decade now I have had a safe space surrounded by love that has allowed me to grow into such a better version of myself that the closet just wasn’t big enough to hold. I will never take for granted how fortunate I am to be given these teams in life. Living your truth is the tits. ✨ Happy #nationalcomingoutday | 📷: @meiratz

Silhouette America Blog | Felt Mistletoe Pennant | Curio Deep Cut Blade →

December 11, 2015

The holidays are among us, friends and I'm trying out another new Silhouette Curio product: the Deep-cut blade. The deep-cut blade can cut certain materials up to 2mm in thickness. Some materials may cut better than others, so play around! I’m by no means an expert, as this is my first run with the little guy, but I can say I was mighty impressed when it cleanly cut out this pennant shape from craft fleece without needing to use any fabric interfacing at all. Check out the Silhouette America blog for the full project! Happy Holidays & Happy Crafting!
