We're back! And what the heck has been going on in between?!

Since we have this new beautifully design blog space by Heart & Arrow Designs, it was only fitting that I write a post! Whit was a dream to work with and if you are looking for a logo or blog design, she is your girl!! Blogging is something I really hope to get more consistent at. As you can see, my last post was nine months ago! Ahh!!

So what has been happening around Love Mich Studios? Let’s see...

In January 2014, we gifted this pretty little clutch to the stylist of the TV show The Bachlorette to consider using on the show! Did you know the Bachelor/Bachlorette have a stylist?! Neither did I! We sent the clutch off to her and sadly it was not included on Andi's season of The Bachlorette but it was still a very cool opportunity and you never know what it could lead to!

Then, in February 2014, the MiniMich Boutique was launched become wildly popular very fast! I was inspired to create this line from my own love for my pillow person that I had for many more year than I care to admit! I wanted to create something that kids could also love as much as I loved mine!

Then in April, 2014, we gifted members of the press at GBK's MTV Movie Awards Celebrity Gift Lounge! We also gifted these gorgeous makeup bags to many of Hollywood’s hottest celeb mommas for Mother’s Day 2014!

The icing on the cake was the tweet I go from Jennifer Love Hewitt! WHAAAAAT!

In the midst of all that awesomeness, I finally got myself some sewing help! Meet Jamie! She is fantastic. Not only is she the sweetest thing ever, she is has an incredible attention to detail and that makes me so very happy! My hope is that between the two of us we can switch over the ready-made products as opposed to made-to-order and shorten the time on bridal orders, fingers crossed!!

Some truly exciting things happening over here and I can't wait to see what else is in store for us! I promise to try to continue updating the blog more! I know behind-the-scenes of anything is my favorite so I hope it is yours too!

I've got a new last name! ;)

Here I am! Phew, we had a gap there didn't we! Sorry about that...

So the reason I am trying to blog more is because I really enjoy reading other people's blogs. Particularly, I love to read about the people behind handmade businesses! For me, it makes me feel like I have a connection to them and I just love to know how other people move throughout their days and what their lives are like! So I will try to open up a bit more about myself and hopefully we can get to know each other!

First story: WEDDING! (09/21/12) Things were CRAZY around here before the wedding. But like everyone says, everything somehow came together and it was wonderful!!

Here's a picture of us in the limo!

Then we skipped off for a romantic HONEYMOON in Vermont! The resort we stayed at was awesome! It is called the Sterling Ridge Resort in Jeffersonville, VT. We were able to bring the pup, Chance, and he had SO much fun. Shout out to my moms for sending us there! :)

When we came home we did something really fun! We went to ABC40/WGGB Studios and shot a segment for SimplyLiving! It was so incredibly cool! And let me tell you...I could get used to doing that everyday! ;) The picture is of me and Host, Maggie Pereiras! She's so very nice and we totally clicked!

The next morning I whipped up a custom cozy and keychain set and skipped off to the post office! I then thought...hmm I must bring back these sets for the holidays! Noted!

We also went to the BIG E this past weekend. It is my favorite place EVER. If you have never been, I am telling you that you must make a trip out to Western Massachusetts for the Fair next year. You can eat delicious food, shop unique and awesome local items, walk through the state buildings and learn all about New England! I've gone every year since I was a baby, so I might be a little bias but it is my favorite time of year! And even better - our wedding anniversary will fall during Big E season every year! Bonus!

Is there anything you want to know about me? Any blog topics you'd like to see me cover?? Email me! or comment below!

Exciting Things!

Exciting things are happening over here at The Love Mich Collection!

I am so incredibly honored to have been announced as one of the Top 25 Women to Watch by Western Mass Women's Magazine! How cool is that?!

And even cooler? I have no idea who nominated me! You can find the magazine's website here!

Tomorrow I get to meet the other 24 women and I'm so excited! :)
