The Weekend of My Dreams...

Looks something like this:


and includes -
hiking, climbing and playing amongst the trees
slurping a slurpee
wishing on a shooting star
singing a song by a campfire
swinging on a rope swing and making a splash

I. am. READY. for. summer.

ps- Happy Birthday Etsy! I went to your birthday party tonight and I came home with a few gifts... I'll have to take their portraits tomorrow and show you!

Underwater Adventure




I had a little fun with my disposable underwater camera on our vacation. I should have waited for better quality scans but I was too excited to show you the images I got. I'm underwater again today but sadly it's in the form of rain showers. I'm sure the rest of the world is sick of us NW'ers whining but you really can't imagine the pain. I'm daydreaming of all the summer activities that are calling my name. Maybe I'll compile a list for tomorrow's post.

What Home Means to Me

Today it's my turn to participate in 'Pin it Forward' and post what home means to me. But first, a big thanks to Victoria over at sfgirlbybay for organizing all this. Also for letting us in on the wonder that is Pinterest. I have had my eyes opened to a whole new world of inspiration and eye candy these past weeks. It is such a great tool for cataloging ideas and photos found on the www and so much prettier than file folders on your desktop. Thanks to poppytalk for pinning it forward to me on Friday and I'll pass the torch to slipcover your life who will be posting tomorrow. Check the schedule to see who else is involved. For the rest of my 'What Home Means to Me' Pinboard, and others go HERE. Enjoy!

To me, Home is...

A Place To Come Back To
A Place To Kick Off Your Shoes

A Place To Be In Love

A Place To Learn

A Place For Commitment

A Place To Fill With Music

A Place To See Yourself Clearly

A Place To Let Loose

April Showers...

I'm staying at my sister's house since Jeremy is gone and while eating in her dining room tonight I was reminded of a little party I threw in that very spot back in April. It was her baby shower and I never shared the pictures of my hard work and the fun we had. Here they are...



I sewed vintage doilies onto ribbon for a little garland she now uses in the nursery

a girly tea party


with treats

a quiz

with a prize for the winner
(one of my necklaces was inside that box)

gifts


and party favors: tea bag pouches and felt flower pins

Work Space Inspiration

I'm thrilled to finally be setting up a workspace in the corner of my bedroom. Now I can leave projects be instead of wasting half my work time (Gemma's nap time) taking out and putting away supplies to prevent our kitchen table from being overrun with craftiness. I've been keeping an eye out for pretty ways to organize my space and here are a few inspiring photos I've come across...
