Oh, I'd love that kelly green! It'd be the perfect bag for all my travels after moving to Germany this summer!
A Beautiful Giveaway: Our Kelly Moore Bags! (GIVEAWAY CLOSED)
Last week we got to share our A Beautiful Mess + Kelly Moore collaboration bag with you all! It has been an absolute thrill to share our camera bag design with you all. You can read more about the design process here. You can read more about the bag details here (double straps, pretty liner, ex...
Oh parsnips are so good; do they get sweeter like carrots the longer they are in the ground? Yay on the first harvest of the year!
from the garden
Yes....from the garden! It is an entirely murky, mucky, muddy mess, interspersed with snow still in places out there. So much so that losing one's boot to the slurpy mud is par for the course during the course of every outing (though this only seems to happen to Mama, much to the...
Friday Five
1. I Heard I Had by Dear Rouge I can't. stop. listening to this song! So good. 2. Foolproof Cheesecake | Pure Wow It's my husband's birthday this weekend, and I'm going to be making this cheesecake.

on letting go of fear, part two
Image Source In January I wrote about wanting to let go of fear, and to live in the light. It's all about cultivating the life I want. Over these past few months, I have been working towards that and wanted to document my progress here. Now, these are the steps... Continue reading

project life : : week five
Not much happened this particular week, until the weekend trip we took. I decided to feature the trip on this two page spread. The 4 x 6 journal card comes from Studio Calico's Sugar Rush kit, and the transparent 3 x 4 comes from the Blue Note kit, also from... Continue reading

Sending prayers and love to you, and Julie's family.
these last few days........
Lots going on here. Bee hive building. Seed starting. Coffee. Spring. Beer brewing. Life. I lost a friend of mine in the landslide in Washington. For a few days we hoped, prayed for a miracle. No one got one. Life is hard like that sometimes. No warnings, no answers. Just loss...
Hi Elise! I really like the podcast so far. One thing that could be helpful to listeners is to have a show notes page for episodes, that way any sites mentioned in the interviews (like the blogs Sarah mentioned) could be linked to. Just an idea ;)
Great work!
around here.
HOORAY PODCAST! This is good. After I launched on Wednesday, I went back myself and listened to the first and third episodes (I didn't listen to them originally because I didn't want to get cold feet) and afterwards I was like "Alright, excellent!" Feels good to sign my name to th...
Currents : : Busy life is busy
Sorry for my absense this week. Life has been swamped. Now that April is here, we're three months away from our big move to Germany. Three. That may seem like a ways away, especially since the weather is still cold and there's still snow on the ground, but it's really... Continue reading

Awesome collections, I love the woods and teal!

If you are looking for the absolute scrapbooking necessities...you've come to the right place! Introducing Necessities! Necessities contains six color schemes. Woods, Blue, Red, Black and Gray, Teal, and Metallics. Each color scheme has double sided patterned papers, enamel dots, enamel shapes, ...
More lambs! So much fun. I can't wait to see pictures of lambs frolicking. Though I adore the Brönte theme, I'm with Harper: Swizzle and Lemonade! Also I love the fifth photo. Emily looks so proud, showing off her babe.
Act III
Yes, this little bug seems to be sparing not a one of us. And sure, there's a foot of water in our cellar and more snow (lots of snow) melting by the minute with nowhere to go. And maybe - quite likely - our sump pump is broken. But you know, all is well with the world, because there are baby la...
Oh, I love it all! The new washi is great, and I love the typography of both too. I will take one of everything!
New Collection Reveal | Market Street
SURPRISE!!! We have new collections to share with you! Seriously. We know it's April Fools and all...but this is no joke. We are so so SO excited to share Jen Allyson's incredible new collection with you today. Meet Market Street. Who better to describe Market Street than Jen herself. Here's wh...
Yay, lambs! Thank you for sharing!
Well wishes to all the beings on your farm.
the surest sign of spring
The prelude to this story is that we had been up all night with a sick little girl. You know those kinds of nights - waking up from a deep sleep to find someone, well, vomiting all over you. And then it happens again. And again and again. And there are middle-of-the-night tubbies with the poor...
Love the layouts, I am leaning towards photo-centric ones as well.
Penelope looks like your mini-me! Also, there's nothing better than seeing hubbies holding babies, especially your own! :)
Full-Page Photo Scrapbook Ideas
Ever since I started working on our family scrapbooks this year (see my first album here) I've been pretty obsessed with figuring out how I can make it work for me. Scrapbooking is a hobby, so if I'm going to do it I want to both enjoy the process and love the finished albums. If not, what's th...
favorite packaging designs
Today I start tow classes: packaging design and advertising design. In light of this, I thought I would share some of my favorite packaging designs from my pinterest board. Kase Stifte, or cheese pencils by Korefe I love the concept, a cheese pencil for cheese shavings. Brilliant. This gnome bread... Continue reading

a case of startitis
This week I finished my research paper (YAY!!!!) and then got the itch to start projects. Maybe it's the free time for a couple of days, or maybe it's the NEED for spring to be present. Maybe still, I've been bitten by the knitting bug. Whatever the reason, I've started three projects since la...

DIY Industrial Craft Table
I haven't been posting about my project life progress, because I put it on hold. I didn't have a spot for my stuff, so the way I would work on my album is to lug my album to either the floor or the coffee table. If I chose the floor,... Continue reading

third sock head, done
Through the hubbub of the weekend, I was able to whip up another sockhead, per request of my daughter. She picked out the yarn: Handmaiden Casbah in Woodland Sprite. I love, love, love this yarn! It's soft yet robust. It's lofty yet dense. It has great stitch definition, and the black didn't...
healthier crockpot bolognese
Mother Earth sure has a sick sense of humor. Yesterday was the first day of Spring, but you would've never thought, if you were here. It was cold (20 degrees) and rainy/icy which later turned to snow. It's the kind of day that chills you to the bones. No matter... Continue reading

How right, Ezra is! The lambs will come soon. Also, applying that same logic, this winter *will* go away eventually... right?
Could Emily possibly have two lambs coming? She looks doubly wide!
on the first day of spring
On this, the first day of spring, we woke up to eight more inches of snow....and no baby lambs. A watched pot never boils. That's what they say, don't they? At least that's what I say when Ezra stands over the pot of water on the stove, willing himself to be that much closer to the f...

Lovely tops! I truly can't wait for spring after this long, cold winter.
Any day now, indeed!
on the way to spring
It continues to feel very much like winter out there. And I continue to be forcing spring on the inside - even if only by sewing. If my February was all about the yarn and needles, then my March is, without a doubt, all about the fabric and thread. Just as soon as it stops snowing, just ...
Happy St Paddy's
St Paddy's is a favorite holiday of ours. Coming from an Irish family, we celebrate St Paddy's all year long, but it's fun when the rest of the country joins us. My great-grandfather was born in Ireland, and his middle name was Patrick. After he married, he dubbed St Patrick... Continue reading

two down, two to go
I completed Jack's sock head just in time for his birthday. He is my orange guy and he chose the perfect yarn from my stash. It's Yarn Pirate in Spooky, and it suits him so. I love how vibrant this yarn is, especially during this bleak and gray winter. With... Continue reading
