WedWed - Wedding Wednesday {16}

I'm finally starting to realize that part of working hard is disciplining yourself to know when take a breather. I need a little breather today. It hit me last night while cooking dinner: As I put the last of dinner in the oven, I glanced out the window and noticed... Continue reading

Workmare The new Lavender Honey website launches in just over one week and I'm pretty pumped to share this little screenshot teaser image with you this morning! You may be wondering, however, why I chose to title this image "Workmare" if I'm so excited. Good observation... Workmares are problem solving... Continue reading

WedWed - Wedding Wednesday {15}

The vintage McCall's bolero pattern arrived last week! The pattern is WAY too small for me (who has a 28.5 inch bust anyway?) but serves as a nice jumping off point. I'm grading the pattern up and will hopefully be into fitting next week. The way I see it, the... Continue reading

My Giant Pillow

Chris and I agree on most things; most being the operative word. One thing we disagree on is the use of decorative pillows. I do not condone the excessive use of decorative pillows - like when it takes over 30 seconds to dismantle a bed or when too many pillows... Continue reading

WedWed - Wedding Wednesday {14}

A Big Buck Hunter Wedding. Last week's WedWed post instigated to the following Facebook conversation: When I initially glanced at Andy's "DUMB" comment, I rolled my eyes. "Chris's wedding gear is gorgeous," I scoffed to myself. "What does Andy know anyway?" Then I clicked on his link and burst out... Continue reading

WedWed - Wedding Wednesday {13}

Often, little attention is paid to what the groom wears to the wedding. September 24, 2011 isn't my day, it's our day and I want Chris to look smokin' hot. I mean, er, handsome. When I say I want him to look handsome, that means that I think he should... Continue reading

4000th heart

Today, I'm feeling lucky! In February I just so happened to be studio kmo's 4000th Etsy heart which, unbeknownst to me, meant that I got to enjoy a buy 1 get 1 free 11x14 city art print! I'd been an admirer of Karen's city map cutouts and art for sometime... Continue reading

WedWed - Wedding Wednesday {11}

Invitation Inspiration Way back in the WedWed series, I explained how I created our save-the-date. I stated: "I wish I were a grand illustrator able to delicately craft one-of-a-kind invitations with my Heidelberg letterpress, but the truth is that I have to improvise and use what I have...and that's photography."...

An accurate depiction of how I, and The Killah, have been feeling today... photo: iPhone 4 image by Chris Roby of a yawning Gataface. Chris "borrowed" my snuggie for the Gata's tipi.

Thanks, Katia! It was a dream to sew, and I'm sure that your daughters love their dresses too! Do you have a favorite Oliver + S pattern?
