BlogTip: Link to a New Window

I spent quite a long time trying to figure out how to have a new window open when a link on my blog is clicked on.   Hopefully this will save you some time!

Here is the HTML code for the "be kind" button from Shabby Blogs in my right sidebar:

<center>
<a href="http://shabbyblogs.com/new"  border="0" target="_blank">
<img src="http://shabbyblogs.com/new/storage/old/ShabbyBlogsBeKindButton.jpg"/>
</a>
</center>

Adding target= "blank" inside of the carrot signs causes a new window to be opened when the button is clicked upon.

Happy Blogging!

NEW Items! Stunning on Etsy

This week the Stunning Shop has a few new listings...

Working with wool gets me in the mood for colder weather!

What sort of creative things did you do this week?

Graphic Print iPad Cases New in Stunning Shop

In my ever lasting battle to take decent photos of my Etsy listings I think I may have managed to improve my staging and photography skills yesterday during the beautiful sunny Michigan day we had.

iPad cases are all lined and a prototype (in fabric we will not discuss because it's not the manliest) has been tested by Hunky for the past few months. Despite the feminine motif he loves the case and has had me make a few improvements on the design. Hooray for trial and error! Here are the two new listing photos that I am most excited about!



There are more of these lovelies in the works - I just love working with super bright and graphic fabrics! What is your favorite project these days?

Life and Jean Capris

Hello All!

Life has been keeping me pretty busy lately, this means I've been pretty scarce around here and I apologize. Classes are keeping me busy as always, but on top of that there have been several other let's call them challenges...

TheLetterStudio really could not have said it any better with this print.

• Hunky had a bit of a health scare, don't worry, he's alright, thank you for those of you who sent warm wishes and prayers our way!
• It was thought that my trusty little laptop was dead, but it's only her changer, meaning I am only with Blackberry access to the internet world until a new charger arrives in the mail in a couple of days. I am sneaking this post to you from a public computer on campus, I will be washing my hands several times after finishing this post!
• My credit card info was stolen. Discover was wonderful and nipped the issue in the bud - if you don't already have a card through them and you need one I totally recommend using them! They figured out that it was from a transaction at the store Journey's, (they have the best little socks there for wearing with flats), someone hacked into their system and stole client information... :(
• The senior thesis projects in both majors are going as well as they possibly can be... I have added one more dress to my collection for my Apparel & Textile Design project, photos will be posted as soon as I'm officially back on track with my laptop. The Interior Design thesis project is a bit misguided, the directions have become very unclear, but I'm trying to keep working until I hit one of those points where I can go no further!

Classes will be over in a about a month - I am very excited to have the time to bring you more projects and wedding planning updates!

Today I am all about capri pants - I invested in my first pair of jean capris EVER over the weekend and am simply giddy!

Love the dark wash on these dark wash jean cropped flare from White House Black Market (These may or may not be the ones that I purchased I had a hard time finding them on the website... :D)

I am a big fan of the light wash on these J. Crew capris - I'm pretty sure that if I tried this look I'd feel/look silly, but, it's really working for this model!

These American Eagle capris are a great mid-wash look - also - I think it's still legit for twenty-somethings to wear AE products because they are sized in Misses (0,2,4...) even though I rocked this brand in middle school...

Have a great day - Here's to being back in blog action by mid-week!
