Lisa Hannigan, “I Don’t Know” and “Lille”

britt — Wed, 20 May 2009 13:50:30 +0000

Today is looking to be a busy day, so here is a quick little eye/ear candy to start the day. Lisa Hannigan is an irish singer songwriter that I’ve been listening to for a few months now. Her album “Sea Sew” came out last September, and I am loving the Crafty/(very well done) DIY feel of both the album itself as well as the videos for two of her songs (“I Don’t Know” and “Lille”). For some reason I am having a few problems actually posting the videos here so check out the “I Don’t Know” video and “Lille” video on Vimeo. Below are screenshots from the two videos.

Happy Mother’s Day Mom!

My momma is an amazing woman. She is fun, smart, thoughtful, and so very creative. A month ago she started a little blog to document/share her stamping and crafting projects. It has been such a great fit for her, and so much fun for me to watch her grow in her “new found” digital creativity in the blogging world!

When I was a child, momma hosted kids crafting workshops at our house. She instilled and fostered the “Making” gene in me. I am so thankful for her sharing her gifts, had it not been her love and encouragement growing up who knows if I would have become a designer!

Happy Mother’s Day Momma! I love You!
