Is it just me, or is everybody not getting much done lately? I feel like productivity is really suffering because people are totally distracted by this national disaster of a presidency. That’s what I’m blaming for how hard it was to find links to share today. But never fear, I found some cool projects! If […]
Weekend Inspiration
Yes, those are cross-country ski tracks down the alley a few blocks from my house. This week has been a pretty weird one, because we got more snow than we’ve ever gotten in my lifetime, and nobody saw it coming. We got a foot of snow, and even the meteorologists are like, “That was crazy, […]
Weekend Inspiration
Happy Friday! Since it’s a vacation week it doesn’t really feel like a Friday, but I’ll take it. Like most bloggers, I’ve been taking a bit of a break from creating content this week, but my post on money tree care went up this week on Apartment Therapy. While working on some other projects, I’ve been […]
Weekend Inspiration
This week I shared some simple Christmas decor ideas, and a tutorial for how to make holiday star wall hangings in a couple of styles. So while I’ve started decorating for the holidays, we still don’t have our Christmas tree up. We have our tree, but it’s outside. This year we’re renting a living, potted […]
Weekend Inspiration
Happy Friday! Here in Portland we hardly ever get real snow, so yesterday’s accumulation of less than an inch, plus a coating of ice on top, really ground things to a halt around here. Some people love to complain about how unprepared we are for snow, but I think they need to chill out. There […]
November Round-Up
I have to admit that November wasn’t my most productive month blogging-wise. Between the disastrous election results, Thanksgiving travel, and some other freelance projects, I just didn’t share as much here as I would have liked. But I can’t pretend to be one of those websites with multiple contributors–I’m only one person, and I do […]
Weekend Inspiration
Happy Friday! I have a lot to get done before Thanksgiving, so I’ll mostly be working this weekend. Thank goodness I’m not actually hosting the holiday or doing any cooking, because we’ll be visiting my grandmother in Arizona. So I can basically pretend it doesn’t exist until the middle of next week. If you’re cooking for Thanksgiving, […]
Weekend Inspiration + October Recap
Happy Friday! This week I shared my favorite salvage sources, and a recipe for southwestern black bean, pepper, and corn sweet potato noodles. Since October came to an end and we moved on to November, I thought I’d share a re-cap of what I was up to in the past month, just in case you […]
Weekend Inspiration
This week I shared an updated tour of my dining room, a tutorial on how to make brass hand earrings, and a recipe for gingerbread apple muffins. Lately I’ve been extra busy with some freelance work, so I’ll be plugging away on that this weekend, in between trying to fit in time with visiting family. […]
