One thing I cant complain about with my new job working for the State is the guaranteed holidays off. Three day weekends like this are so foreign, I don’t even know what to do with myself. Since we recently moved to the new townhouse, I was able to go to the storage unit and move over all my old boxes of remnants that have I haven’t seen in the past 5 years, and I keep finding some great little treasures >=] Like this little number, I have had this fabric about at least 7-8 years, It was in the discount rack at Jo-Anns and It had to be mine. The fabric texture reminded me of my mom’s old cheong-sam dresses which I have hoarded and have dug out of the trash all the numerous times she has thrown them out.(IS SHE CRAZY?!) So I decided to just drape this little simple number. I just love the print, I could stare at it forever. I don’t want it to scream cheong-sam dress, so It is still in the works, I am trying to decided how I want to finish everything, so here are some in progress images for you:

Amazing. This event was put together in two days, and as you can see from the image above, It was well worth it to the people that will benefit from it, and how little effort it took to put together. Words can’t describe the gratitude we felt towards our friends at Five Star whom let us host it, our friends(Christopher Charles, Darany Sarah Designs, SPCLGST) that help put it together, and the people that came and gave donations without thinking twice. It truly is testimate that everyone can do just a little to help and make a world of difference. When we dropped the check off at Red Cross, we met this man, Alex Alexis, who is a registered nurse but also a native of Haiti. He is soon to be deployed to the USS Comfort which is currently positioned near Haiti to provide relief. He will be working as a French and Creole translator for at least the next month. We wish him luck with his travels, keep an eye out on the news, and you will sure be hearing his name again. 
Thank You Raleigh for being AMAZING. Head over to the Jukebox Heroes to check all the pictures from the event!
