Spent the day working on a little flair for teh daughter’s bedroom. I purchased these photo storage boxes at Michael’s a while back for like $4.00, and thought they’d look super cute if I added some fabric and ribbon to them. I already had the fabric – leftovers for making her message boards (I’ll post [...]

Finished piece 1 of 4 art pieces for the my munchikin’s room and thought I’d share. It’s an ink-on-bristol drawing, styled after another piece that I had done for an art class a while back. I’ll post the other three as I get them done.

So here it is: the only room in the house even close to being done. I still need to hang up the art work and the new blinds – and the curtains are in the process of being hemmed so they’re MIA at the moment. But it gives you some idea of how it’s shaping [...]

We stopped off on our way home the other night to catch this gorgeous sight of the city skyline with the clouds coming in. It was such a cool sight. Unfortunately, my camera didn’t really do it justice, but you can get some of the idea.

And I’m thinking of trying to get her a dress made like this: (I know, excuse the lame drawing… you get the idea…) I’m thinking a vintage-50′s-swing style dress. Something suitable for a growing young lady (re: Modest!), but also fun enough that she’d feel hip and cool in it. I have to learn to [...]

 I was over at Trader Joe’s the other day just before they opened, and got a little chuckle out of this. Thought I would share.
