On my flight home from Tennessee, I picked up a copy of Vogue Living, which turned out to be quite the inspirational magazine. My favorite story was of Amanda Brooks’ apartment, an amazing mod confection by way of Palm Beach. The pattern mixing, the color, the wall-to-wall carpet! It’s all very David Hicks and [...]

My friend Lorelei sent me a link to Michael Eastman’s photography and I immediately wanted to live in one of his photographs. I love the decayed grandeur, the peeling paint juxtaposed with the intense, saturated colors. These pictures look like the house that Miss Havisham would have lived in if she had been born in [...]

Well sort of. This is a picture of my very first scarf, the first thing I have made that I didn’t unravel. It is a 2×2 rib with a stripe of two shades of pink. I want it to be really long so i can wrap it around my neck a couple of times. It’s [...]

I made that scarf! As you may or may not know, I freelance for Adorn magazine as a stylist and crafter. This is the first issue I have worked on and a scarf I made is on the cover!
The scarf is decorated with needle felting which is extremely fun and easy to do. I got [...]

My mom, Mr. Love Forever and I are flying down to Nashville tomorrow to see my brother perform at the Bluebird Cafe.
I am looking forward to a weekend of good food, lots of rest and thrifting galore!
Wish me luck!

These tea towels from Third Drawer Down celebrate the art and beauty in the every day [...]

I made some coasters for a friend’s birthday today. It was my first try at quilting (which I lazily did with my machine) so I thought coasters would be a good start. Some of the coasters came out a little wonky but I am mostly happy with the results. I just winged the whole thing, [...]

Mr. Love Forever and I took the train out to visit my family in Connecticut to celebrate my birthday. On Sunday morning we drove up to Wilton, Connecticut to visit my Grandma and Grandpa, eat some cake and enjoy the country air.

As you can see, no one in the family is afraid to wear [...]

Lately, I have been jonesing to join a crafty swap just like in the good old days of Get Crafty. Luckily, a couple of nights ago, I happened upon the blog, Cake and Pie. Together with blogger Freshly{Blended}, these two ladies are organizing a holiday Ornament Swap!

Here’s how it works: You make 8-10 ornaments then [...]

Ack! I almost forgot it was Friday. Yes, today I am 30 years old. I made it! To celebrate, my Friday Five is about the upcoming year. Here are five things I hope to accomplish by next year.
1. Write a book. A crafty home decorating book.
2. Re-learn Portuguese in time for my May honeymoon to [...]
