Happy 2016 kittens!

The last few months of 2015 were a real whirlwind for me both business wise and personally. We had a great December full of orders and in even bigger news we bought a house! But not just any house… This house has been a part of history since 1871, and over the years this house has taken many forms, it’s been a diary farm, cattle farm and most recently a Christmas tree farm. We are lucky enough to now call this amazing place our own and cannot wait to continue the farming tradition. We are so excited for all the amazing things we will get in to!

Happy Friday kittens! It’s a rainy, dreary day here in CT and I just so happen to be wearing the newest addition to the Cranky Pants line, the Ladies’ Straight Leg Sweats, and figure it’s a good time for a review!

Say hello to comfy! These are 100% cotton, super soft on the inside and have a roomy wide leg as well as a drawstring waist. One thing I love about the drawstring is that there’s so much room for comfort, wear ’em loose, wear ’em snug, either way  you won’t regret it. The Ladies’ Straight Leg Sweats are cut for women so rolling the waist or having to worry about a low crotch aren’t an issue at all.

Pick from your favorite sayings or customize your own!

I really tried to get some good photos for you but it’s difficult with 4 helpers that don’t have opposable thumbs.

This is my 9 year old ragdoll mix, Alabaster. Over the last 2 months we’ve been back and forth to the vet with an eye issue. In the end the eye had to be removed and I bet you can guess it was not cheap. Ally and I wanted to say thank you to everyone that has ever made a purchase from Design From Jess, without you I wouldn’t have been able to afford the surgery. I work a full time job and started Designs from Jess to help make ends meet. It’s been an awesome ride and I love making clothes that people want to wear. It’s still pretty surreal sometimes, there are over 4,000 pairs out in the world from the US to the UK!! So to my friends, family and all of my supporters, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

With all that said, let’s do a giveaway on the FB! Like AND comment what your favorite item is to qualify. Any item can be chosen. Winner will be drawn Sunday Night at 8pm. Free shipping to a US winner, otherwise winner is responsible for shipping cost.

Almost 5 months ago [omg 5 months really??!] I married my best friend in our backyard. We took all the planning into our own hands and decided to embark on the adventure that is planning a wedding at your own home. It.was.so.fun. I know you must think I’m crazy, who would want to host a wedding of nearly 100 people in your back yard? This girl. It had a lot to do with where we live and the its unique setting and what we found for venues. Everything was either way out of budget or just not us and wouldn’t give us the freedom we wanted that hosting it at home would. With our landlords blessing we planned and executed the most perfect [for us] wedding day.

My secret goal was to get our wedding on Rock ‘n Roll bride.com and it happened!! Check it out!
