Over the weekend we went downtown to celebrate a friend’s birthday at bu ku. If I had my way Daniel would have worn something like this, but I didn’t have my way! 1 Honeycomb Pattern Neck Tie from Forever21 2 BDG Stripe Shirt from Urban Outfitters 3 Straw Fedora with Striped Belt from Forever21 4 [...]
I’ve wanted to get into screen printing for a while now, and I think I finally figured out a set up that will work for me. Yesterday I turned the laundry room into a dark room with the help of some red string lights, and I burned my screens almost perfectly. This afternoon I’m going [...]
You know the expression “there’s more than one way to skin a cat”? Thanks to Jen Peters over at a hoot a day we can change it to “there’s more than one way to draw an owl.” Cat lovers rejoice. I’ve been keeping an eye on Jen’s blog since the beginning of January when she [...]
I finally swallowed my fears and ordered floor tile for the basement bathroom! Before I start tiling though, I’m forcing myself to finish all my other half-started projects in the basement. Today I’m painting the ceiling. It’s dingy and covered in old water stains. Ceiling painting isn’t the most satisfying task, but it’s amazing how [...]

Have you seen Blanca Gómez’s work over at Cosas Mínimas? I think it’s swell. You can check out an interview with Blanca here, and visit her website to admire her other projects here.
When I got married my Grandmother (aka Grammy) filled a notebook for me with page after page of her best recipes. It’s one of my favorite wedding gifts. I tried out her bread recipe over the weekend. She titled it “hot rolls,” but to me it will always be “Grammy Bread!” Just the smell of [...]
This skirt is so cute! How perfect would it be for a Valentine’s date? It looks like it would be so much fun t0 spin around in! However, if you plan to spin it would be advisable to wear bloomers of some sort underneath (just in case the spinning gets out of control). 1 Stripe [...]
We watched an episode of Hoarders this past weekend in which a lady hoarded food. Most of it was long expired, and there were heaps of rotting produce in every room of her house with plenty of swarming flies. It motivated me to clean out our pantry. The worst thing I found was a box [...]
