As the daylight stays later this time of year, my lovely daughters struggle to go to bed at a reasonable hour and have been requesting some curtains for their room. They have wooden blinds, but they’re not particularly stylish and let a lot of light in through the cracks. In order to achieve the light-blocking… Read more »

After a lovely week of Bernina Universtity in San Antonio, Texas, I was lucky enough to spend a few extra heat-filled days vacationing in the Hill Country and Austin. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about Texas. I had never really spent any time there except for a quick drive through the panhandle. I… Read more »
Well, the white pants thing is easy. I love, love, love them. I sprung for a low commitment pair from H&M (totally had to sew the blouse to wash away my guilt for shopping at such a low quality place) and absolutely love them. They are perfect for summer, fresh, trendy, and get way less… Read more »

When devastation happens, it is difficult to know where to begin, how to help, and where to direct your efforts. For the last 10 days our hearts have all been in Japan, thinking of the lives lost, worlds turned upside down, and suffering of the survivors. There will never be too many things that we… Read more »
Portland’s rainy season is in full swing, so I’ve decided to embrace that fact and start projects that might actually make me welcome the rain, or at least not dread it as much. Bolt has an awesome selection of oil cloth and coated cotton right now, and I found the cutest bicycle print that was… Read more »
