J&O, Michelle Obama, Jashon Wu & YOU!
January 20, 2009 will go down in U.S. fashion history not only as the day the first African-American stood before millions to take his official oath of office at the 44th President of the United States, but also as the day his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, took her silent and UN-official oath to represent savvy diva style for all the smart, elegant, feminine, yet powerful women of the seasoned bunch.

Hailed as one of the most sought after contemporary artists in Britain today, designer Faye Whitaker just can’t help but take us back to an age of innocence and sweet surrender with her Friendship by the Sea line of designs for Elizabeth’s Studio.

Consumer Savvy Carol: Handcrafted Holiday Fabric Wraps & Bows
With Christmas less than a few days away and Kwanzaa soon following, why not pull on your creative juices and save a little money at the same time with great fabric gift wrappings and bows?
For most crafters and designers alike, fabric scraps from botched projects, incomplete projects, and projects with more fabric left over than used, often times accumulate into colorful mountains of textured material eagerly waiting to be recycled and put to good use. Many times the end result is a funky reconstructed shirt, festively trimmed greeting card, or cute little fabricated doll for the holidays. But what about using that beautiful fabric as an inexpensive and easy substitute for actual store bought wrapping paper for use during the holidays and any special occasion.
