Image from my instagram. Happy Friday! Fall weather looks like it’ll be starting for real this weekend, so I’m hoping to get cozy with some tea, and work on some projects. Also, we’ve been watching a ton of The Great British Bake Off (actually The Great British Baking Show in America), and it’s given me […]
Weekend Inspiration
This weekend I’m heading off for an island getaway. Which isn’t quite what it sounds like–we’ll be visiting a little island off the coast of Washington for an afternoon of ziplining. It’s a belated birthday trip that’ll also include a stop in Astoria, Oregon, so if you’ve got any Astoria recommendations, send ’em my way. […]

Happy Friday! I’m still trying to catch up on all the stuff I neglected in favor of my epic sink project, but I’ll be making time for fun this weekend, too, hanging out with some visiting friends and enjoying the last lovely bits of summer. If I had room for a hammock, I’d be building […]
Weekend Inspiration
Last weekend we visited Horsetail Fall and Ponytail Falls, where we hiked up behind the upper falls. (It was easier than it sounds.) This weekend is looking like it’ll be a good one, too. We’re going to hit up a cat benefit at local hard cider brewery Reverend Nat’s, and see the new Ghostbusters and Star Trek […]

As usual, I’ll also be working on lots of projects in my house and yard, including some that I’ll share here soon. In the […]
Inspiring Women Woodworkers
Have you ever seen a DIYer post a project where she gets to a step that uses power tools, and points out that her husband, boyfriend, or father, did that part for her? It always frustrates me when I see that, because it perpetuates the stereotype that power tools, and woodworking in general, are for men. If […]
Weekend Inspiration
Photo from my instagram As usual, I’ve got some DIY projects to tackle this weekend, but NYC shop In God We Trust is opening a store just a few blocks from my house in North Portland, so maybe I’ll stop by their trunk sale tomorrow (6/11). Sew a super simple linen apron. This neutral mobile […]
Weekend Inspiration + May Recap
Now that June is here, I thought I’d recap my May projects and recipes, because I did some fun DIYs in the last month that you might’ve missed. If you’re looking for a weekend project to do or recipe to try, maybe one of these will strike your fancy. What will I be working on this […]
