The Would Have Been Post

October 7, 2013 ~ Sophie ~ 2 Comments

Yep, this post was supposed to be ‘Lugogo Trade Show’, but instead it’s not. I know you are confused so I will start from the beginning.

On Friday, our class (the one I talked about here) went for a field trip to gain insight, inspiration and experience. We had a chance to meet entrepreneurs from all over the country and it was a refreshing experience from the usual routine. But as they say, you can’t have it all. Apparently we were having so much fun that someone decided to pickpocket my one and only camera…and well that spoiled everything Cried my heart out, gathered what’s left and decided to let go. Letting go is way harder than i thought, but hey these things happen and it’s all part of life. I had taken more than a dozen pictures hoping to share them here but i can’t anymore! I just thought I would share with you my great readers now that I will have fewer images to share (T_T) Enough with the sad words! Happy New week guys  Sophie

Lace Scarf Restyle

October 4, 2013 ~ Sophie ~ 2 Comments

So I happen to collect scrap fabric ( a lot) and I finally got to do something really fun with this piece. This by the way is a left over fabric from lace curtains and i kept on thinking, something great could come out of this….I happened to have brown yarn and a hook… and viola, a lace scarf. I am so happy with the way it turned out.

What have you been up to lately?

Have a great weekend.

LOL With Courtney Kennedy

October 1, 2013 ~ Sophie ~ 2 Comments

This month of October’s inspiring LOL Guest is Courtney. She has been a major inspiration to me when it comes to crafting and DIYing. She is soo good at everything she does and today we are honored to take a look at what Living out Loud means to her.

I like loose-leaf tea, star wars, creating with my hands, golfing, rock climbing and taking Sunday naps. I don’t like tomatoes, the color pink, anything pumpkin (except carving!), or writing with anything other than a G-2 .07 pen.
Living Out Loud to me is understanding why you were created and knowing it was for a purpose. To wake up each day recognizing that purpose and doing what you can to change something that day.
I’m in a life changing moment right now that made me reevaluate how I’m living: I realized I didn’t want the average 9-5 job, and I wasn’t passionate about going to school so I realized it was possible to start living my dreams now instead of later as I listen to God and follow Him daily.
People who really understand their talents and focus on those things instead of trying to do everything inspire me.
It is a daily choice to Live Out Loud, it isn’t going to change in and instant. You have to be intentional about your actions and passionate about what you do. People follow passion, so don’t settle for anything you aren’t passionate about.
If you have a dream, take steps toward the dream. Don’t think that it is a big leap away or you have to have some big miracle for it to happen. If you work hard and take steps toward the goal, you’ll arrive sooner or later!
