May is over. May was wonderful. I completed one of my goals for the year. I spent an amazing weekend celebrating a bride-to-be. I am so happy and so excited that it’s summer. The year is just about half way over. I can’t believe how fast it’s going. I also can’t believe how happy IContinue reading “end of the month review: may”

project life: capturing an exciting announcement
A few weeks ago, when we were doing family book club, my brother made a really exciting announcement. We all got on the video chat and someone noticed and asked what was on my bother’s T shirt. His shirt said “All hail the baby maker.” So my sister asked if it meant something, and sure enoughContinue reading “project life: capturing an exciting announcement”
family book club: middlesex
We met a few weekends ago to discuss our #familybookclub pick, Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides (Kindle version here). We used Google hangouts, and it worked pretty well! It was so fun to see everyone and to get together from our homes all over the country. And it didn’t hurt that my adorable nephews jumped on toContinue reading “family book club: middlesex”
game of thrones outfit inspiration: sansa
Poor Sansa can’t catch a break. When we met Sansa she was a fool of a girl, and one of my least favorite characters. She preferred knights on white horses to sword fighting, unlike our hero Arya, and she dreamt of pretty dresses and a handsome princes. Sadly, she’s been dealt nothing but tragedy sinceContinue reading “game of thrones outfit inspiration: sansa”
chapter 19 (embroidery no. 10)
I did something a little different for today’s embroidery. For those of us who grew up with Harry Potter, a charming part of those books were the illustrations in the American version at the top of each chapter. I had a small embroidery hoop lying around that was really the perfect size to fit theContinue reading “chapter 19 (embroidery no. 10)”
project life: april upate
April was a crazy busy wonderful month. It started and ended with visitors, and there was a lot of fun all around. I usually add one or two pages a month, depending on what’s going on and how many pictures/other stuff I have. This month I added an insert for extra pictures from one reallyContinue reading “project life: april upate”
small cool space
I finished one of my 2013 goals of decorating my apartment to enter Apartment Therapy’s Small Cool Spaces contest! I’m so happy with my home. I am really proud of turning this apartment into a place I truly enjoy spending time in and showing off. Please stop by Apartment Therapy’s site and vote for myContinue reading “small cool space”
game of thrones outfit inspiration: brienne
Last night was a round-up of sorts, and maybe even a let down from the action-packed past few weeks. But then Brienne fought a bear. A freaking bear. In a dress. So because she fought a bear and kept her composure under fear of death and humiliation, she definitely wins this episode. (Jaime comes inContinue reading “game of thrones outfit inspiration: brienne”
i carry your heart with me (embroidery no. 9 and happy mother’s day)
This one is for my mom. Most of you are familiar with this E. E. Cummings love poem, but I believe this particular line can speak to many kinds of love. I don’t live near my mom. My parents are in Atlanta where today I believe they are going on a motorcycle ride in theContinue reading “i carry your heart with me (embroidery no. 9 and happy mother’s day)”
blue blazer
Sometimes all it takes is once good piece. This blue blazer is a good piece. It’s a lovely cobalt blue. I got it from Marshalls. I’ve been mostly wearing it with black because it’s a nice contrast, and I recently wore this same outfit but with leopard print heels and I like it even more.Continue reading “blue blazer”
