So this past week I was invited to participate in the Shakopee career fair. Turns out they’ve been looking for a fashion designer for a few years and ta da! Here I am!

Shakopee career fair

Basically I brought tons of stuff and set up a table showing some of my work from Target as well as stuff from my own line. I also brought a big bowl of candy to assure that I would never be standing at my table alone! Luckily that plan worked and the photo above was about the only time I had just a few people at my table!

Ow please, you;re a Project Runway minor-celeb.. you’d never be alone at the table :P

is it just me or do all high school gyms look the same? :) i feel like you’re back in my home town! what a nice way to spread the word about fashion design. i’m sure that the people who saw your table enjoyed hearing how it’s all done.

I'm currently loving ...

America's Best Dance Crew 2 While no one this season can compare to the JabbaWockeeZ, I'm still a big fan of this dance show (always wanted to be a dancer!).

Girl Talk "Feed the Animals" Okay... so the first time I saw this guy live, he was a bit of an a**hole to my friends band who opened for him, but I have to let that slide since I'm totally in love with this mix.

Bats for Lashes Saw this music video at the bike film festival this weekend and loved it. So simple and so creepy...

Flickr photos! lots of photos, especially of cats.

Across the Universe I wasn't sold the first time I watched this, but then I couldn't stop thinking about it and now I'm loving it! Definitely gets you in the mood for some Beatles music.

The Office I know... I'm late to the game, but I can't get enough of The Office right now!

Nortec Collective 5 guys on laptops + 1 trumpet + 1 accoridan... Ranks at the top of my list for best live shows ever, right up there with Radiohead and Flaming Lips.

Knit Book; Basics & Beyond I want to make some hats and I use to know how to knit, but need a refresher. This is a great book that covers a lot of info and has TONS of good pictures (great to learn from).

Bamboo Fabric Store I'm trying to move my Spring '08 collection into the green by using organic and/or sustainable fabrics. I found all my new bamboo jersey fabrics here and I'm totally in love with them!

Project Runway 3 DVD I got this for Christmas and am still too scared to watch it! I've heard that I'm shown on the DVD a lot more than I was on the season... eek!
