That’s what all the home magazines call them: “Outdoor Living Areas” or “Outdoor Living Spaces” (OLA from here on out!). I have always been in total awe of these places. These lovelies are from the new defunct Domino Magazine (such a tragedy)… I’m aware that beautiful set ups like this aren’t a good idea or [...]

I mentioned before that I had a quilt that I haven’t worked on in YEARS. My best friend got engaged August of 2006. The next day I start sketching out plans for a double wedding ring quilt (a bit of an ambitious undertaking). January 0f 2007 I began cutting the pieces, thinking to myself “You’re [...]

Last year I posted about the first quilt I ever made when I was 13. It was created for the littlest of my brothers out of old shirts and jeans collected from the “big kids” (there are 5 of us all together with the ages: 27, 25, 23, 14 and 11… so we are divided [...]

I just got off the phone with one of my little bros and was totally inspired. My 25 year old brother more or less runs a farm in Boulder, CO. A year or so ago he began “woof-ing”: Working On an Organic Farm. He started on a mushroom farm in Alabama and I’m not going [...]

Don’t worry, Friday Fabric Lust won’t become a “thing”, but I was so excited I had to share. I pulled into my driveway a few minutes ago to find a package in my mailbox. I hadn’t expected the fabric I ordered to get her so quick so I’m kind of like a kid on Christmas [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! My St. Patty’s Day plans are less than inspiring today. Mostly just work though for dinner I plan on enjoying my all-time favorite hard cider, Bulmers. Well, technically I will be drinking a Magners which is the Northern Ireland version of Bulmers (and the only kind available in the US). It’s [...]

For those of you that create for a living or work from home, do you do everything in the same space or spread it out? I am, by nature, a very organized person and like to have a place for all my work stuff. When I left my corporate event planning career I thought it [...]

As you probably have guessed, I’m loving this 30 Days of Lists project. One of the main reasons I left my corporate event planning job was to have more time to be creative and to create for a living. I love printing and sewing my shop items, but sometimes I need a creative outlet outside [...]

We’ll start with the latter… I love sleep (almost as much as I love lists)… right now it’s 8:43am, but really it feels like 7:43am (dang clock change). My amazing cousins are visiting and we were up chatting to 2am. Which means I got less than 6 hours of sleep. I do not function with [...]
