Every time I go over to visit Emily, I see these darling coasters sitting on her coffee table. They were made by a mutual-very-talented-new-mama friend of ours, Devin. The coasters are so basic that even the most novice of sewer can make them. They are refreshingly simple. Here is the pattern just for you! My […]

INSANITY!! Yesterday, I was out in the garden and was trying to control my anxiety as I picked TONS of produce. The pressure is on now to either get it stored, or sell it. Oh boy!! I mean, I seriously have produce coming out my ears. I have a whole new appreciation for the people […]

I LOVE the handmade lifestyle! One slice of the handmade pie for me is living as greenly, locally, environmentally aware as possible. I think every little change I am able to make, makes a difference. For me this means shopping at small businesses when possible… Buying many of my groceries at the natural food store… […]

Have you heard of Project Life?? I am so excited about this! It’s a simplified way of scrapbooking, but still has major style and a touch of handmade. I had heard about Project Life from other blogs, but was reminded when I saw Heather Bailey instagram a comment about the edition that she designed. Say […]

What a difference a couple weeks make in the garden!! It is crazy how things are changing and growing. I did a garden update two weeks ago that you can see here if you want to be reminded of where we were last time. I told you then that I would do a little drawing […]

I’m not going to say this potato salad is the best…even though I really do think it is…because I know family holiday recipes hold a special spot in people’s hearts. That said, if you are looking to make some potato salad for the 4th and want to change up your old standard, or maybe ditch […]

Garden season is in full swing and I am LOVING it!! This is the first year that I have S.P.A.C.E. to really go crazy. It is also the first spring/summer in our new home so we are learning much about our land. One of the niftiest things about it though, is that we now live […]
Sew some love.

I worked in a quilt shop right after college and absolutely loved it! I started designing quilting patterns there and have kept my fingers dabbling in it ever since. There is something about quilts that speaks to my heart. They tie us to family members past and present, remind us of warm summer breezes and […]

I can hardly believe that my little guy is turning ONE this Sunday! GAH! :) I am feeling partially THRILLED that I’ve survived my first year as a Mom, partially sad that it’s been a whole year already (all of those “firsts” are over)! We are planning quite a little shin-dig for him on Sunday […]
DIY Chalkboard Paint

I am in love with my new chalkboard wall! I feel a little behind on this one, but chalkboards are classic, right? I saw Emily’s AWESOME one, and knew that I wanted one in my kitchen. I had to do a little convincing of my husband, but when I said that I could do it […]
