The only reason this qualifies as pattern mixing is that the shirt underneath my sweater has tiny little black polka-dots. It’s subtle, but technically it counts! I’ll try to be more adventurous with my patterns next time, though.
San Francisco Treat
This past weekend we flew down to San Francisco for a quick visit. We managed to see lots of friends, visit many of our favorite places, and eat way too much delicious food. Hopefully we walked most of it off through hours of urban hiking. I didn’t lug my big camera around with me, but […]
Salted Caramel Ice Cream
My baby sister’s birthday was last week, so my brother cooked her dinner and I baked her a cake. As she requested, I made her a black-bottom cake, and then went in search of a suitable ice cream flavor to go with it. I really only crave ice cream when it’s pretty hot outside, but […]
Jewelry Rack
With an old unused frame, a little spray paint, a few tools, and some help from Mother Nature, I made myself a jewelry rack last week. I can’t take credit for the idea, since it was mostly inspired by this one that I found on Pinterest. I didn’t take step-by-step photos for this project, but […]
Misty Woods
It may be super gray and misty around here, but all that rain means that it’s excessively green even in the middle of winter. Maybe it’s good that I don’t have much green in my wardrobe–I’d blend right in. (The dress is from H&M a couple of years ago, and everything else is similarly old […]
Jewelry Organization
Lately I’ve been trying to figure out how to organize my jewelry and accessories. Right now everything is packed away in various boxes, and I’d like to find a semi-temporary solution so I can access everything again. This is tough, because I have quite a collection (mostly vintage, thrifted, or handmade), but if I can’t […]
Terrarium
Nothing seems to sap my blogging mojo like moving, but I’m trying to get back into the habit by tackling some projects I’ve been meaning to try. Most of my craft supplies are in storage indefinitely, so I decided to make a tabletop terrarium because I had everything on hand except for the container, which […]
Links I Like
Since I’ve been moving/sick/taking a break from the internet, I’ve missed a lot of great stuff lately. I’ve been trying to catch up a bit, though, and here are some of my favorite projects and links I’ve come across so far in 2012. Super cute (and easy!) shoe fringe tutorial. We got rid of almost […]
Today I was determined to take some outfit pictures even though my tripod is (I think) packed away in a pod that hasn’t yet reached this side of the country, and there was no one around to be my photographer. My method involved propped my camera up on a garden bench, which didn’t actually work […]
