A few weeks ago, we had some friends over for a potluck. Lucky for us, one of our friends is a photographer and took some shots while we were sitting around after dinner. I never think to take photos like this in our house, and I like to see someone else’s perspective of it in [...]

Design*Sponge and decor8 and Bloesem for some home decor inspiration
Flickr and Etsy for crafting inspiration
Dooce, Sundry, and Swistle because they are the best and [...]

This is what happens to a vintage handmade smocked sundress when it comes home with me.
It turns into a flouncy little girl’s skirt and….
…a flouncy little girl dress.
It wasn’t put together very well, (which is the main reason I was OK with cutting it up) and so I had to resew most of it except for the smocking, [...]

Again…off the wagon…I know! My excuse this time is a flu bug that hit our house over the weekend. Mostly back to normal now though I am still a bit unorganized, hence the list instead of proper paragraphs.
1. A (late) birthday shout out to a good friend, Laurell, who now lives far away, who is rocking [...]
what went down

So the grad fashion show was last night, and just before the girls were going to come out, as I pulled out my camera, (you see where this is going) I realized that the battery was dead. D.E.D. Dead. So….no photos to share for this one, and unlike the last one I don’t know any of the [...]

This is the first one I did in this style, and I am not totally happy with [...]

All right. I did it….completely fell off the blogging-every-day wagon. I don’t really have an excuse, except that I am not very good at habit building and this is a new one for me. I have been trying to post something at night, so that I have something to say or show you, but the [...]
the day

For the past year or so, I have been following the life of Amanda through her blog Soulemama where she writes most days about her life and family. She is such an inspiration to me in her career, craft and parenting, and I enjoy her writing and photography immensely. She wrote a book last year, and publishing being [...]
