There’s a watermelon on my kitchen counter and basil growing in my garden, so obviously the universe wants me to try theseĀ watermelon basil margaritas this weekend, right? Need to frame a canvas? This floating-frame tutorial shows you how to do just that. I recently got this little clip-on lens set for my phone, and it’s […]
June Favorites
June, almost over? Inconceivable! (“I do not think that word means what you think it means.”) A lot of things have happened this month that I would have thought were inconceivable, in both my personal life and in the wider world. I don’t want to violate my family members’ privacy, so I can’t go into […]
Weekend Inspiration
Lately I’ve been in a bit of a slump creatively. I’m not really sure why, but I think I’m getting back on track with some new projects and ideas. This weekend I’ll be working on one of them, which involves the little breakfast nook right around the corner from these open shelves in my kitchen. […]

They’re things like gardening, organizing, and adding storage. Is it better to share non-Pinterest-worthy projects than nothing at all? […]
Weekend Inspiration
Happy Friday! I can’t be the only one who has been kind of discombobulated by daylight savings time starting last weekend? Despite the rough time change adjustment, for the past week or so, I’ve been in major spring cleaning mode, trying to organize and declutter some seriously messy zones in my life. So I’ll probably […]
Weekend Inspiration
This week I’ve been working on a craft project I wanted to share, but my first attempt didn’t quite turn out how I had pictured. I’m trying again, though, and plan to post the results next week. Here’s a little sneak peek: In the meantime, it’s been a while since I did a weekend inspiration […]
Weekend Inspiration
Happy Friday! My weekend is going to be truncated, because on Sunday I’ll be flying out to see my grandma in Arizona. That means that I have to pack everything I usually do over two days into one! Double the brunches, double the projects. (Kidding…mostly.) These ideas for how to add character to your walls […]
