The Girl Behind LittleSmash

Who is the girl behind LittleSmash? 

That's a great question!  Who am I?

  •  I am a girl that has always had a place in my heart for ANYTHING crafty.  Seriously, dating back to the day, when I was 8 years old and spent a week at my grandmas house.  She had TONS of scraps left over from my Aunts wedding dress that she had, herself, made.  I found all those scraps and created a wedding dress, myself, for one of my stuffed bears.  It was one of my greatest accomplishments, or at least I thought so at the time. 
  • I was born in Columbus, OH.  Raised in Phoenix, AZ.  Lived a year in Pineville, LA.  And now live in Orange County, CA, where I have lived for the last 6 years
  • I have 3 fantastic sisters
  • I love love love the colors green, yellow, and anything black and white
  • I am obsessed with vintage ANYTHING.
  • I would pretty much live in Anthropologie if I could
  • I am very blunt, and will always say what is on my mind (which sometimes gets me into trouble)
  • Steve Madden definately makes the best boots, in my opinion anyways
  • Believes you can never have too many tank tops
  • Will wear almost any color combination, but always sports my signature black
  • Will ALWAYS be an OHIO STATE BUCKEYES fan (with much controvery among my family)
  • Loves anything Monogrammed
  •  
  • Would, undoubtedly, embellish EVERYTHING if I could
  • Volunteers with Middle Schoolers at church
  • I love cheesy chick flicks
  • Pay the bills by working as a Nanny
  • Is scared to DEATH of Bridges (which is kinda ironic since I moved to Louisiana, the state that is mostly under water)  The picture of the bridge below is the scariest I have ever been over...23 miles of hyperventilation
  • Would eat a Chipotle salad every day if I could
  • I cant function each day without at least one cup of coffee (and its even better in my favorite mug)

  • I LOVE anything Damask print
  • I have 3 diaper bags....and no children...(seriously they make GREAT pool bags)
  • I have 2 Nieces and 1 Nephew that are pretty much amazing
  • I would love to live in NYC, but am secretly a chicken to do so
  • My all time favorite nail polish color is "You dont know Jacques" by OPI
  • I do, and have, worn almost every one of the headbands I have designed (and then some)

  • I have a mild obsession with cows ( and if I could buy a Micro-Cow, I WOULD)
  • I love Classic Mustangs...which would explain why I asked for a beauty similar to this one for my 16th birthday...and got it :)

  • I am 100% a kindred spirit with my "Auntie M"...I swear I am more like her than any other person in the whole world.
Yep, thats pretty much me...in a nut shell..

Ready for the Flood

A few weeks ago I was contacted by a fellow blogger, (one far more successful than mine), to do a mini "swap", which basically means, she wants me to send her some free headbands, and in exchange she will send me some glorious photos of her adorable little munchkin sporting them.  In addition, she will also link my etsy shop everytime she posts a picture of the headbands on her blog.

Over the last few days, i have been working my fingers to the bone, enduring many many pricks to the finger by way of the invisible needle (while it sounds lame, it acutally hurts pretty bad), oh and the horrible burns I get everytime I accidentally glue my fingers instead of the fabric.  Its true, this can actually be a very painful hobby, but i love every minute of it.

Well at about 1am last night I  completed the last and final one to be shipped off.






Excuse the mobile uploads...Sometimes the Cell Camera isnt fantastic... :)
