Hi! I'm excited that you found me, welcome :) My name's Leigh-Ann and my blog is called "LA"-- people have written "LA" all my life, for short & it stuck. I live in Winnipeg Canada and have been blogging since 2006, almost every day :)
I'm a positive-minded girl consumed with loving & sharing discoveries of everyday joy. My blog focus is based on my passion, including Design, Vintage, DIY, Small Business, Pop Culture, Animals, Family, Color Appreciation and I lovvvve taking pretty photographs! Want more? Check out my Features & Categories.
To get acquainted with my blog, checkout these regular series, favorite posts, favorite photos, idea directory, FAQ and click lots of buttons along the way :) My connect page also highlights ways you can participate on LA and how we can connect, if you'd like :)
Wanna get to know me better? Read my About page, check out My Style & my Design Portfolio, my Sewing Story, chapters of my Odyssey, my dog Lola-- and this cute post my sister Amanda did about me :) I love mini horses and my family & I talk about them often; meet my Mom, Dad, my Twin Nieces (+tips for Bonding), and soon my brother & sister. And my longlost Mini Horse, Peanut <3
Learn how I Thrift, Take Photos, Started Design, Paid off 12K of Debt, got my '74 Station Wagon, set-up my Workspace and read about stuff like my Thoughts & Fears of being a Mom someday, my Stubborness, the silly stories I have, my Favorite Food, my kind of Mess... plus, lots of DIY Projects you can make too! I also co-teach a Sewing eCourse for beginners called Home Ec and an online class about starting your own business called Indie Business.
I founded a craft & design company called Freckled Nest in 2006 and now co-own it with the lovely and uber-talented, Kyla Roma! We have a cute office in downtown Winnipeg and we work with Designers & Clients worldwide! Freckled Nest has a few departments-- Blog & Shop Design, Teaching & eCourses, Advertising, and Handmade Goods-- plus, we treasure our blogs, community and the opportunity to live a creative, inspired life! We're a small company with big hearts and lots of creativity to share!
View my Design Portfolio & visit Freckled Nest Design. Read how it all started, what "Freckled Nest" means, when Kyla & I became Business Partners & the day we announced our growing family :) Plus a flashback to 2007.
