I just finished and hung a fresh linen towel on the oven! I’m proud of how it turned out - a little embroidery, a little fabric print, and I have a new pre-spring towel to look at every day. It matches our kitchen perfectly.
It was really a super simple project. The linen towel is a […]
For Valentine’s Day this year, I decided to surprise Nathan by making over “his” bathroom — the half bath in our master — while he was out of town Saturday night. It is a tiny little room, with just a sink and commode. Before I took it over, there was literally nothing special going on in there. […]
Alright, confession - I didn’t make ornaments on Day 4.
BUT - I did have an ornament-making party on Day 5, at which I made 7 ornaments in one sitting! So I think I more than made up for it. I had some work friends and my mom over to listen to Christmas music, eat yummy […]
Here is last night’s project, day 3 of my 5-day personal ornament challenge - I made another vintage-inspired paper ornament. This one is just an accordion paper rosette (striped red paper) with silver tinsel-style trim glued around the edges and a store bought glittery “M” chipboard letter glued on top. I love it - I […]
Here is the ornament I made yesterday - a vintage-style paper cone ornament made from old sheet music, inspired by these cute cones on Cupcakes and Crinoline. Mine is similar and based on hers, just using what I had in my stash (though I think it is much more sparkly in person than this picture […]
I’m home from work today, feeling sorry for myself today as I try to rest through this gross cold I seem to have caught. I figured I’d take the opportunity to pay some attention to my poor, neglected little blog. Baby steps, though - I’m about ready for a nap!
The other night I was laying […]

I’m excited and proud - my new Halloween tree is finished, with a handmade topper to boot!
I got this cute tinsel tree on sale at Hobby Lobby, picked up some orange, green and sparkly black ornaments (also on sale) and couldn’t wait to get it set up. I’ve been seeing tons of vintage-inspired crepe paper rosettes […]
Lots of recent happenings I have to show off! First of all, I have to make you jealous by linking to my photoset of pictures from the Country Living Fair in Columbus, Ohio. It was absolutely fantastic - my second year to go, the weather was 20 times better and the vendors were great. A […]
We returned from a weekend trip to the Gulf Coast yesterday afternoon, feeling a little weary from the drive but refreshed from the fantastic time we had. Nathan’s college roommate/childhood friend Jared’s girlfriend, Alison, invited us to stay with her at her family’s company beach house in Gulf Shores, with our mutual friends Jason and […]
