Happy Holidays from Home Gig

This year Home Gig is all about nostalgia. While archiving old photos and creating homemade heirloom crochet gifts for friends and family, we are enjoying the holidays while keeping busy with Home Gig’s exciting new projects for 2015.

Lauren has been staging our client’s house for sale in the West Newton as well as decorating and accommodating our clients holiday needs. From shopping to holiday installations, it’s been an eventful season all around, filled with traditional touches and festive layers of green, red, and gold.

Eivar has been working on branding for our client Eternity Clothing Line which has been extremely stimulating and challenging at the same time. She has been keeping busy completing custom holiday and wedding invitations while working on fine-tuning our client’s website.

Together we are working on Home Gig’s new appearance which will be launch in 2015.

On Stylegig’s wish list this year we are showcasing the many handmade artistic items we have enjoyed making and some of the charity work Home Gig has been supporting; including St. Jude Foundation, Wounded Warrior Foundation and the MSPCA.

Since Home Gig has been extra good this year, we couldn’t resist including some of the gifts we lust after, but love and family is all the presents we need.

What’s on your Wishlist?

Happy Holidays and Winter Wishes! ~Lauren and Eivar

Feliz Cumpleaños Nicole

Home Gig was asked to create a stunning custom Quinceañera invitation for the upcoming festivities of Nicole Ashley O'Neill. Insisting on a Paris themed event,  the birthday girl asked Home Gig to create a beautiful hand made invitation suite to impress her guests.

Using pink and teal blue colors against black embossed glitter was the obvious choice. Each component of the invitation was hand cut using thick, card stock and included a keepsake passport which was secured using black silk ribbon. Invitations were placed in a custom lined envelope complementing the Parisian theme color palette.

Feliz Cumpleaños Nicole and Happy 15th!

Home Gig Turns 2

When Eivar and I started Home Gig in 2012 our mission was to have the opportunity to do what we love to do creatively and allow ourselves the flexibility to have a healthier work, life balance.  Giving up the corporate salary and benefits was a financial sacrifice, however, through this, we are able to factor the moments we share with our families as a healthier and more fulfilling paycheck.  We still work long hours, but Home Gig allows us the flexibility we enjoy and appreciate. For creative minds like ours, this is essential to keeping us inspired.

Two years and growing, (did we mention Eivar is having a baby?) We continue to be grateful for the opportunities we are given and the extra bonus we call life balance.

 Happy Anniversary Home Gig – We love what we do!
