An outtake from my Instagram. Sometimes Adventurous is a photobombing pest. Sew your own simple silk camisole with this tutorial. I plan to give this one a try soon, so I’ll have to post about how it goes. Dye your linens with fruit and berries. As soon as the local blackberries (the ones that grow like weeds […]
Weekend Inspiration No. 4
If you’re in need of a new bench, this woven leather bench or this walnut live-edge bench are both gorgeous DIY options. How fun is this DIY giant outdoor connect four game? There’s plenty of time to make one before summer starts! As a cat lady, I think I need these cat potholders in my […]
Weekend Inspiration No. 3
Photo from my instagram. Need more space for plants? (Of course you do.) These floating window shelves might be just the ticket. If you’re a knitter, these chunky round knit pillows look like a fun project. Naan is probably my favorite type of bread, but I’ve never made it. This weekend I want to give […]
Weekend Inspiration No. 2
Image from my instagram. I’m trying to figure out what I’ll get up to this weekend, because there are the things I should do, but they don’t match the things I want to do. Isn’t that always the way? Maybe the trick is to do a bit of each. If you’ve got some free time […]

This is the 200th Links I Like, which seems like a good milestone to retire it on. Farewell to this column, and thanks so much for reading it! Until […]
Links I Like
This weekend I’m going to try to get a lot of random stuff done, like tiling the landing of my back stairs, buying a folding table, and cleaning up my basement. I wish I could fit in some of these projects, but I’ll be pretty busy. Don’t get jealous of my very glamorous life, ha! […]
Links I Like
1. Make a simple beauty station to hold your mirror and makeup. 2. This geometric wooden wall-hanging is like jewelry for your walls. 3. Make a dried plant hanger that is both pretty AND useful. (You’ll need Google Translate for this one.) 4. If you’ve resolved to get organized for 2016, maybe this cement desk organizer can help. 5. A […]
Best of Links I Like 2015
This is my last links roundup of 2015, so to celebrate, I went back through all of the links I shared in 2015 to pick out some of my favorites. I’d completely forgotten about some of the cool stuff people have made, so I was happy to have a reminder of lots of projects I’d still […]
