Friday Favorites

These owl measuring cups are so adorable. I would have a hard time choosing which color. 
This globe is so beautiful! It makes my heart pitter patter. 
This heart nail art tutorial from Wonder Forest is so cute! 
I'm always blown away with Emily Martin/The Black Apple's work. This print
is stunning. 
I fell in love with the heart sweater from J Crew last year but by the time
I was able to go into the store to get one they no longer had my size. Super bummed. Earlier this week I found this cool DIY on how to make your own.
Now time to find a sweater to add a heart to! 
I love these log bowls. The bright colors with the natural wood is simply gorgeous.

What are your favorite things this week?
Happy Friday!

my week through instagram

Sewing big zipper pouches. I love having a print on the outside and inside.
Taking pictures of products for our future online shop.
Bestie hang out time. Why can't we live in the same state!
Dexter's favorite window. Also my favorite spot to take Make It photos.
A week full of meetings. Sometimes I feel like a kid crashing my parents party.
Delicious drinks with friends makes for a perfect evening... 
...So do rainy nights.
Dexter is tired of me taking pictures of him. 
Family high five

I love...

I absolutely love vintage sewing books!
The fashion design major in me bursted at the seams (see what I did there? oh yea I did) when my friend showed me these books she found at local thrift stores. The Complete Book of Sewing on the left is from the 50s and the Vogue Sewing book is from 1970. I stopped listening to everyone around me when I opened up the Vogue Sewing Book. The illustrations were so fascinating. 
I did some searching, because I need this book in my life, and found a few on
etsy! I'll definitely be getting my own in the foreseeable future!

What are you loving today?

our little jump dog

If you were to ask our dog Dexter what his favorite activity was, he would say playing fetch. Since we don't have a back yard you can find us at our city's dog park throwing the ball for him on a daily basis. He loves to jump for the ball whenever it is airborne, hence all the jumping shots. 
I love this little guy to pieces! Dexter hopes you're having a great day!

This weekend my best friend, Goldie and her adorable Chihuahua  banana, came to visit us! If we're lucky we get to hang out once a year so I'm so happy we were able to make this happen! 
We also helped her set up a blog while she was visiting, and I'll be sharing that with you once it's complete. 
And if you're wondering why dexter is wearing a scarf in the pictures above; it's because he is so darn hard to take pictures of! He disappears. So I figured a scarf would at least let you know something was there. 
I hope everyone had an amazing weekend as well.
