Happy Days

The weather has been absolutely amazing here these past few days! It makes me want to sit outside and do everything! I opened my windows, let my new music fill the air, and crocheted the day away a few times. It's such a rare thing to have nice, tolerable weather in the deep south so we always take advantage of it when it does come! (or at least I try too!)

I know you all are probably sick of hearing about this but Anchor & Sparrows debut is in two days! I am over the top happy! I hope that we do good! I know me and Gabby have been working so hard trying to get prepared for this. We were a late entry so we've had to kick it into overdrive to get enough of our products out to have a good amount of goodies for people to choose from. A lot of love has went into each thing that I have made! And I'm pretty sure I can say the same for Gabby.

Also, my mom's ring finally came in! I had to get it re-sized because it was wayyy to little for my finger, but I'm so happy to get it back! It's so special to me. It's an opal stone in the shape of a teardrop and set in this beautiful lace gold. Iwuvit :]


Here's to hoping for a magical weekend!

p.s.-I'm actually wearing one of Gabby's headbands in all of the above pictures! Anddd my hair is red :]

Easy like a Sunday morning

This weekend has seemed to have flown by. Maybe because I have been super busy all weekend long! Friday night I was sewing up a storm with Josie. I made my first skirt and I love it! That's Josie's sewing machine, isn't it beautiful? It was her grandmother's, so of course it's super special to her.


Anndddd ta-da! The finished product! Eep! I'm so proud of it! I can't wait to try to tackle my next project: making a dress!


Inspiration for my dress will be the nautical theme! I'm completely in love with nautical things lately. So, I'm going to try to make a cute sailor dress all my own :]

Less than a week to Loblolly! I hope to see all of you there! Please stop by the Anchor & Sparrow booth and say hey to me and Gabby! We would be so happy!
P.S.- I now have an email dedicated to "work" (anchor & sparrow) so if you have an request for an order or anything of that nature feel free to email me at kaylabee.xo@gmail.com! I'd love to make something just for you!
Have a great week!

Oh brother.....

So Spencer decided to jail break my iPod and his phone all at the same time. He was pretty happy about what he accomplished. He has been begging me for forever to jail break my iPod and I finally broke down and let him go for it! shhhh

Tonight isn't any different from any other night except for the fact that I'm going to try to teach myself how to embroidery what I crochet! Hopefully it won't be too hard, because I have some adorable ideas!

I hope you've had a great Thursday!

Happy Autumn!

I am so happy that this day has finally come! A surprise blog update and the first day of my favorite season! This is what my wonderful friend Kacey made for me (again) and she thought of the coolest idea! To have a different header for every season! I thought that was so cute! I absolutely adore this! I am so lucky to have such a talented friend! It was really hard keeping this a secret for so long because I've been wanting to put it up for about a month now but I had to wait patiently!

Happy Autumn!
It's time for beautiful clothes, trees, weather, and having some delicious pumpkin spice drinks! Such a happy time!

Anchor & Sparrow

I have been hard at work these past few weeks making as many crocheted items as physically possible. I bring yarn with me everywhere I go in case I get some down town I can whip out my yarn and start making something! It really helps the time between classes fly by, even though I might look like a granny :) The Loblolly Festival is only two Saturdays away! I can't believe it's already here pretty much! These pictures are just kind of a "sneak peak" of my goodies! Foreal pictures are coming later, but I said that I would try to keep you guys updated! I can't wait to see what all Gabby has created!


I am obsessed with my new Instax camera! I love it! Even though it's taught me how much I take my digital slr for granted. You make sure every photo counts when each photo cost you money! But I love it, nonetheless.


And this is my little adorable photo "journal" that I'm going to put them in! I thought it was pretty perfect for them! I know I will be asking for film for my birthday that is coming up! I'm a little too snap happy.

In Love!

Mr. Raybourn bought me a sewing machine as an early birthday present! Am I not the luckiest gal in the world?? It's just the one I wanted too! I can't wait to get started on making lovely things! And yes, this is my first sewing machine I've ever been able to call my own! I was practically in tears when I saw it in front of me, knowing it was mine. I know what I'll be doing all day Sunday! swooon

Also, my Instax camera came in! I'm just surrounded by goodies! I feel as if it's an early Christmas! I have the perfect little book that I'm going to use as a "photo album" for these cute pictures! Eep!

I will definitely be a busy little bee again this weekend! I have a double date with my sister Friday (which I'm absolutely ecstatic about!), football game to shoot Saturday--speaking of which, I took Braxton's sister, Madison, pictures for her to turn in for "most photogenic" today and it was so much fun!--and then creating lovely things for the business Sunday! It's going to be an amazing jammed packed weekend!

I have been completely overcome with the obsession of having red hair lately! (The first one is my favorite shade of red) I hope to one day have it that color, even for just a little while :)

Tonight I will be busying myself with nothing but headbands! The countdown to the festival is beginning already! Gabby and I are trying our hardest for this to be the best thing ever! I can't express how excited I am, which I'm sure you already knew that! We're so thrilled for this to actually be happening for us, it really is a blessing.

I hope to keep you posted on our progress!
Happy Weekend!
