Need Music Industry Advice . . .

So my brother Joel is holed up in his room most of the time these days pumping out some amazing new music and his new song, Padan Fain, is his best yet.

Being his proud older sister I've taken on the task of getting his stuff out there and heard. And while I am a Marketing professional by trade I'm definitely not wise in the ways of the music world and I'm finding myself come up short already. This is not a good sign since we're still so early in the process.

So if anyone out there actually reads this blog and has any tips or advice on what we can do to get his music into the ears of people who will love and appreciate it, please share in the comments section below. Or email us at: joelcharlesmusic@gmail.com -- I'm all ears! (so corny I know - haha)

And for your listening pleasure here is the new song:

First Fall Sewing Project Done

So the tiny Klammer family went on vacation last week to Vancouver Island it was super wonderful and we had a great time hanging out at the beach, searching through tide pools, walking around the farm we stayed at and generally eating ridiculous amounts of yummy food.

And because I'm so hip & crafty (haha) I brought my sewing machine along with me on vacation ... yes, I'm still Danielle- I haven't been inhabited by an alien- I just like to sew now, ok? I even did some sewing on said sewing machine potentially only to justify bringing it along in the first place but whatever works I say!

So this is the shirt I made miss Gigi:

Even better here's Miss Gigi wearing the shirt!

It was the Magic Pocket top from my last post and I'm super happy with how it turned out. The pattern was super easy to use and the shirt only took me about an hour to make altogether. The best part though is that it's Georgia's new favourite shirt and she asks to wear it everyday!

Looks like I have a few more of these shirts to make for her fall wardrobe now that I know how much she loves it! I'm even going to try and modify the pattern a little to make it a cute dress and my good friend Elva gave me the idea of turning the pocket into a ladybug as that's Gigi's current obsession. If I can pull that off I will officially be labeling myself as crafty!
