Project Office Makeover : Before Photos
* LeRoy sitting on all the Ikea Expedit desk boxes * At the end of January 2010, when we moved into our new house, I was most inspired to decorate my office/closet/dressing room …as it happens to be the room I spend the most time in. A little over a year later, I am finally …
Wanted: Victorian Dog Portrait Artist
The husband and I would really love to have Victorian portraits painted of our dogs that we can frame in hideously gaudy ornate gold frames and hang side by side. Obviously we think it’s hilarious and years down the line, a way to remember our dogs and smile. Â Â Etsy shop Hot Digital Dog offers …
I guess this’s how I’m working through it
I’m not sure that I quite understand sadness …or rather, what to do with so much of it. I know that for so long I dealt with it angrily. And as hard as I try to handle it maturely now, when sadness completely overwhelms me I will still sometimes resort to a tiny temper tantrum …
DIY Nautical Rope Napkin Rings
I love a great nautical tabletop and rope napkin rings are so easy and inexpensive to make, you’d almost be a fool to buy them 😉 From rustic to nautical, Thanksgiving to the 4th of July, rope napkin rings work with nearly any color scheme or theme. I love them and use them year-round! Tip: …

Delilah Shows off her Couture Ruffled Onesie DIY
The littlest member of our family, my niece Delilah George, finally fits into the ruffled jersey onesie I made for her last September, just in time for Summer …and she couldn’t look cuter in it! I made the ruffles much like my petal pouf shoulder diy but used an old soft peach t-shirt instead of …
Fighting the inevitable
I believe my husband was hoping the new house would somehow cure my anxiety. And for the record, I too was on that hope wagon …just at the edge of it though, as “curing” my anxiety seems like stuff only miracles are made of. In truth, I have been fighting it for the last couple …
Reflection
Just over a year ago I began posting my work outfits on a regular weekly basis and even though it seems as if so much has happened in that time, nothing really has changed. It’s interesting how the documentation of daily life almost makes you more aware of it …even if the focus does happen …
