And the final TOP 5 favorite? It all comes down to LOVE. I want to thank my family and friends as part of my top 5 favorites for all of the support and love they have given me through the year. 2009 was a big year of growth for myself and I was thankful to have you all in support of that. I love you all and especially want to thank Pooper, Marley and Maiden. Thanks for putting up with all of my " all over the place madness"! I love coming home to you every night.
This one was easy. Rooster Cafe is where it is at! Thank you Thank you for all the countless weekend morning breakfasts, coffees and great service! We love you!!!
Now, I could go many directions with choosing my favorite in craft, but I must say that this person has had the biggest influence in my love of handmade this last year, and that is Faythe Levine. It all started when I read her epic book, Handmade Nation and had the thrill of meeting her at her Los Angeles Premiere of Handmade Nation the documentry this last summer. Thank you for introducing me to the indie craft world!
Wow, this one was tough. I have to say that of all the amazing art I have been exposed to in the last year, UK's Abigail Brown has given me the most inspiration from her pieces. As myself, she is a crafter as well as an artist, and with that makes it such a pleasure to see her two gifts combined. Her fabric creatures are my favorite!
With only five days left in 2009, I will share one pick for the next five days each being a favorite I discovered this last year. First up is a shout out to my most loved album of the year, by The Presets, Apocalypso! Fabulous from start to finish. Electro pop loveliness that makes those hips sway! Enjoy!
