find me here

For those of you who are local, I will be selling my handmade goods this Sunday at the Linen Building from 10-2.
For those of you who are not local, check my shop next week for some brand new creations, like these fabric flower headbands!

wanting

I'm really fond of this collage...I don't have the slightest idea where I'd put it but I bet I could find some place!

pattern

I'm enamored with DwellStudio's new patterns!

gray+red

one of my favorite color combos, I keep trying to pull this look off in my living room but I'm not having much success
that desk would sure help! ;)

what to wear


I'm now 32 weeks pregnant and I've found, as I'm sure others can understand, that the toughest thing is finding clothes to fit! I should say not just any clothes but something cute & flattering.
One of my newest faves is this gingham top from my lovely sponsor Tulle!
It actually fits incredibly well, nice and blousy on the bottom, long enough to cover those "growing" areas but still trendy and not at all maternity-ish!
Plus, it's been into the 100's around here & I chose this light, airy cotton which really breaths!
Anyways, please check out some of their stuff...if I can find something great, anyone can!

planter light

Why didn't I think of this?!

my mantle wants these

Simple, yes, but I think they would be the perfect family to live on my fireplace mantle!

normally I don't


I have not seen a single mobile for baby's room that I actually like.
This one, however, is quite sweet and one of the first mobiles that I am really fond of!

ready to go

I'll be out most of the day today, hope yours is great!

personal library


This is so clever but I doubt I would actually use it for lending books.
Still, looks like fun!

Sometimes black and white are all the colors I need!

Happy 4th

Sofia Hedstrom

We've got a car show and fireworks planned for tomorrow...I'm guessing some good food as well!
Enjoy your holiday!

rug envy

I'm really digging this rug. Normally I go for that all-over geometric pattern but for some reason I just love this. It's probably the colors!

poufs

I'm crazy for these sea urchin poufs!
I'd take the gray one for my living room & a camel one for baby's room.
I should stop day dreaming now!

dining room help


Here's my dining room & the drab beige wall behind it.
I hate the color, or lack there of!
What color should I paint this back wall?!
I love the brownish-greenish tea pot that's on my table, how would that look as wall paint?
Help!

Tulle sale

I hope you are all familiar with one of my great sponsors, Tulle!
They're having a sale starting the 7th & if I weren't so pregnant, I'd be shopping it myself!

eyeing on Etsy

Catherine Holm votive, I'm currently obsessed with any Catherine Holm pieces!
Handmade candle holders

I would love this birdhouse, I think I would hang it in my kitchen...
Folk Art mug, I'll take a dozen of these!

free!

Right now if you spend $40 at Lotta's shop, you get one of these tissue boxes for free!
Can I just buy the tissues please?!

would be a great fit

My man would love this. He desperately wants a comfy chair that is still sleek.
If I had $500 laying around, there's a good chance I would order this for him, and frankly, myself!

A couple things I spotted in my front yard.

tea towel hunt

I want to find a pair of really great tea towels for our kitchen.
Tas-ka has some great ones but I'm seriously considering this one from Skinny Laminx.
What do you think?

baby entertainment

I ordered one of these handmade shakers for the baby.
I have this obsession with wooden toys & rattles!

mornings

I'm going to begin painting the nursery today, but first, breakfast!

jumper love

Just perfect!

vertical garden

Such a brilliant idea!

baby's chair

My husband & I went round & round over what sort of rocking chair to get...needless to say we didn't. We found this swivel based, Herman Miller chair instead.
I think it looks right at home with the green pillow I made for him!

Dror




Target is now carrying Dror...already eyeing this wooden wall clock.
A perfect solution since we've been looking for a new clock!

Sunday, June 7, 2009

daddy day

With Father's Day round the corner, I think my husband & soon-to-be-father might like this.
I think I'll find a way to use it as well!

Friday, June 5, 2009

still trying to

get some sort of office space in order.

Books, boxes, magazines, fabric & craft supplies are just lying on the floor.
The sooner we get this done, the sooner I can feel relief again!

I want this crib bumper!

Our baby needs this for his crib!
I may attempt to make one similar, but I doubt it will turn out so cute!

Summer


I could be so ready for Summer weather with this dress!

lovely


I find endless interior inspiration here.
Swoon!

putting it together

We are supposed to have internet connection today, so that I can feel like I'm not cut off from the rest of the world!

I'm looking forward to having a routine again.
Wish I could say that this extra time has allowed me to work on some projects, like this cushion ottoman, but it hasn't. I've been uninspired.
Hopefully I can get the juices flowing again soon!

time's a waistin

[image via Lena Corwin]


We still don't have an internet connection at our new house...apparently we moved out into the middle of nowhere!
Not to worry, though, I've been passing the time by being insanely sick and not getting any rest.
Hopefully this next week will be better all the way around!

looking for s&p shakers




My husband & I currently have these, but the holes are so small that they're really only for looks.
The man wants new ones but I don't want to look at something ugly.
Here are a few S&P shaker options from Etsy.
