Shades of gray, to make some cute liitle bags.

thanksgiving 2011
As I prepare to spend this Thanksgiving with my loved ones, I am so incredibly thankful to be home this year. Last year I was deployed and I believe we flew that night. I woke up early before our late night show time and ended up at the DFAC without anyone I knew. I was a little irritated that t...
At first when I read this I was remembering my deployment 2 years ago, over Thanksgiving, my birthday, Christmas, and New Years and how crappy it was. I will never forget how awesome my grandma is and that she spent $50 in shipping to mail me her town famous carrot cake to Afghanistan for that Thanksgiving(and that it would be the last one the family got (tear)). Then I scrolled down and saw all the decoration pictures you took and I couldn't stop laughing out loud for 10 minutes, Andy kept staring at me saying "what, what?" I am thankful for those serving away from their family this season as well!

I bought some of the green and blue Chinese Lanterns and the red Persimmon, I'm going to make the Amy Butler Weekender travel bag with it.
new Amy Butler fabric: Lark
I am on a self imposed fabric buying hiatus. I am trying to save up to buy some of Lotta Jansdotter's Echo fabric that I blogged about a while back. Her fabric isn't due to be released until November, which for me is a long time to go without buying fabric. So wouldn't you know it, I open my inb...
It reminds me of the backside of my hometown's mainstreet. I remember taking out the trash to the pizza place I worked out behind buildings like that.
hello!
I am back from my blogging break! Schew... that last paper was KILLER! Getting back into the groove of school has been a bit more challenging than I thought. What I've found even more difficult is getting my brain back into analytical thinking and paper writing mode. For this last paper I had to...
Wow I just realized you posted this back on the 12th, now I'm really scared to check my Bloglovin account, I'm probably over to 1,000 unread posts.
blogging break
School is killing me lately. I have a big paper due next week, a project due today, and I have to go to a design charette this weekend. Oh... and I'm working everyday too. Awesome! I'm hoping to push through this next week of heavy duty school stuff and make more time for blogging. Kerry is cr...
Good luck with school! You can power through it! I just finished my last Basic Tac Sim tonight and have my test tomorrow, then its really game on for a month of Advanced Tac before we hit the flight line. I can't wait for this to be over with. I have so many fun projects I want to work on but can't.

It is really easy to do and quick. You should go for it. I did you some leather scraps I got from a bag of scraps at Hobby Lobby. Its so hard to find good leather to use in projects, I'm always on the hunt at thrift stores.
tie dye with bleach
Today we have another fun project by Kerry. She took some linen remnants that she got at her local fabric store and tie dyed them with bleach. She used the same technique you use when doing regular tie dye: crinkle up or scrunch your fabric and wrap a bunch of rubber bands around the fabric ...
That turned out awesome! I like how you quilted it too, I'm trying to decide how I want to quilt my twin size one I'm working on. I'm also going to have to look into these PurlSOHO scrap bags. I'm sure your friend is going to love it!
baby quilt - purple & linen
I am so pleased with how this baby quilt turned out!! The inspirations for the pattern came from here (yes I saw it on pinterest). I think the pattern looks like little bowties or butterflies. I loved the idea of doing a linen background with fun prints and colors. My friend told me his wife lik...
Oh man, I don't think I can wait until November. Her aesthetic is just brilliant.
I need a LOTTA this fabric
ok... yes my title is a little cheesy, but seriously... I need this fabric A LOT, and I need A LOT of it. Holy cow, Kerry (and all you readers who love fabric) have you see Lotta Jansdotter's new line of fabric? I have loved her simple organic designs since I first spied them (in a book on stenc...
I love your little bracelet too! And I just noticed the bunny peeps in your basket, one of my Easter time favorites.
Happy Easter - updated
Here are some shots from Easter 1978, it was the day after my birthday that year. I love the polaroids and the handwriting on the bottom. The handwriting is my Memaw's... I love how she wrote whose legs were in the shot on the second one.... makes me smile. UPDATE: My Mom texted me today to tel...
I heart your Easter Bonnet!

I adore these animal prints from Ryan Berkley, in fact I just got my meerkat pilot one in the mail last week, it's so fun. http://www.etsy.com/listing/62779302/meerkat-print-8x10
more ideas
Sometimes I have so many ideas floating around that I can't keep them straight, or I get so overwhelmed with the thought that I could never accomplish them all. I saw this today and thought "YES!" I pinned it off pinterest, where it said it was a print from the urban outfitter print shop, but ...
I love Urban Outfitters Socitey 6 link, in fact I bought some more art from them this week, and finally got the large Jamie Mills "Mountain" print hung in my bedroom, its so cool. I'm thinking of doing a large art wall in my guest bathroom since its such a large plain wall.

I played a lot of Barbies, and just played outside on our swing set in general. Oh yeah and we would always set up a "store" like a grocery store in our basement. It was always fun to make labels and organize the shelves. It always took more time getting the store set up than it was "open" for. I also had no luck at Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx, JoAnns, or Home Depot for any good lamps. The only non broken/warped ones at TJ Maxx, that were remotely my style, were $100 a piece. The search continues!
no TV tuesday - wk3
source: etsy I made it through another Tuesday without clicking on the 'ol tele. I almost turned it on when I finally slowed down to eat some lunch, but I quickly caught myself and decided on a little silence instead. I'm undecided on whether or not I am really accomplishing more without the te...

I like Valspars La Fonda Fireberry, Autumn Enchantment, Green Shimmer, or Spring Lime. I would definately go with some cool anthropologie knobs like those.
color me bold - the new desk
Kerry recommended coral for my new desk. Andrea recommended a green or yellow, something bold and bright. I'm liking the thought of something a little bright. I'm trying to get out of my painting everything turquoise rut. I'm feeling something bright, something bold, something that will ins...
OMG Love that desk! the lines are super cool. i think a cool coral or green would be neat with some neat hardware from anthropologie instead of those knobs.
bye bye bug... hello TDI
Last weekend I said goodbye to my car. I was quite attached to that bug. People said that it "fit me perfectly", that it was "so me" and once a guy even told me that my eyes matched my car. The bug was my 4th car and I had it for just shy of 7 years. She had over 130,000 miles on her and had...
After our trip to Ireland, I'm loving the painted door idea. The three main colors we saw that seemed to go with everthing were yellow, bright blue, and red. There were some greens and purples but mostly yellow and blue.
exterior facelift
My best amiga (Andrea - also best roommate EVER) is doing some exterior updates to her cute house. This weeked she weilded a chainsaw (you are awesome girl!!) and got rid of a small tree that was under the larger tree in the yard. It immediately opened up the front of the house. Next she star...
I love that bike fabric. I've been wanting to make some lunch bags, or some outdoor cushions with oil cloth. Let me know how you like sewing with it. I also want to try that tutorial on how to make your own oil cloth out of any fabric.
fabric crush
I promised myself a while back that I was not going to buy any new fabric until I had used up the bulk of my existing fabric stash. I was doing pretty good until my trip to NYC last week where I picked up this Kokka oil cloth fabric from purlSOHO, which happens to be the cutest fabric and yarn ...
I love that red pot, super cool. Are those the shells from your last beach visit? Those plates are fun, I found some lobster plates at the antique store this weekend I almost bought.
art of display - collections
I love when magazines and blogs do home tours. Whether it be someone famous, or just your average joe, I thoroughly enjoy getting a peak into other peoples' homes to see how they do things, how they make their house their own. I'm always looking for new ideas for the eventual time when I have ...
They are all so cute! I'm really digging the ones from gretchenmist and Yellena. Looks like she is having a sale so I might just have to get some just for the heck of it, I'm sure I can find lots of places to put some cool pics! Thanks for the help.
artists on etsy - searching for art for Kerry
This one is for you Kerry! Kerry needs art for her bedroom, so I hit up Etsy to see what I could find. I am in awe of the talented artists selling both original art as well as prints on Etsy. SOOO many options.. so little wall space. First up: gretchenmist Next up is a favorite of min...
What fabric are you going to cover the chair with? I love the danish look!
who needs a truck? part dos
Here is what $10 can get you from craigslist: 2 side tables, a coffee table, and a small console table! I love me some bargain shopping! I have plans for one side table and the coffee table, but I'm not sure what I'll do with the rest. The recreation of these pieces will definitely involve pa...
