Sweet Skirt!

Audrey selected some cheerful fabric during our last outing to the craft section at the Big Box store...and I sewed her a simple skirt. Perfect for Valentine's Day. What a cutie.

Valentine's Day...Piece of Cake!

Thanks, girls, for helping me make cupcakes...we used a box cake mix (confetti) and our favorite Buttercream fosting recipe. I won't even tell you how much sugar and butter it calls for. Sinful.

Then, of course, a few sprinkles of red granular sugar. Festive. Happy Valentine's Day from me and my sweeties.

Hook Up

Do you remember this post awhile back? Well, my talented friend made these fancy hooks for me (really for the girls). Personalized and everything. You should see her other goods....so inspiring, right?


So now, there is a little space for each of their backpacks in the entryway. What a fun way to fight the clutter.

Pleasing Paper

Check out this fine work by Joe Bagley, a paper cutting artist. He creates one of a kind pieces cut by hand from a single sheet of black paper. Amazing.

You can purchase these beautiful pieces of art at his Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/papercutsbyjoe

Rue the Day

Pick up a copy of Rue and you'll have no regrets. Or...you can read it on your iPad. Just look at some of the beautiful images from past issues. Lots of found, vintage objects...my fave.
