Laura Hager’s Favorites

While prepping the spread that I shared yesterday, I decided to take note of how I build my weekly layouts and time how long it takes. I get a lot of questions about how long Project Life takes me. It...

In December, I talked a bit about my one little word for 2013 and shared photos of the album I'll be putting together throughout this year. The album is a photo and written diary and much more personal to me...

I think I sign up to sell at craft fairs because I like to build displays. Merchandising was probably my favorite part of the job when I worked retail. It's incredibly fun to build something from nothing and decide what...

Have I mentioned that I had a patio garden this summer? Ah, yes, I have. It's no secret I was totally obsessed. (Though I've currently lost interest and that patio needs a serious intervention this weekend.) It was a huge...

It has been just great to have a week at home. I was running (actually typing) like a crazy person, wrapping up projects, getting stamps out the door and trying my best to stay organized. Thank you again for all...

Alright, friends, I had some requests for a full quilt tutorial, so here we go. Things to know before you start : this is not hard, it just has a lot of steps. If you are comfortable with your sewing...

Alright. Remember last October when I shared my attempts to get my skin a bit more chemical free? I have stuck with it. And I would love to get all of my recommendations into one place. I want to note...

Oh man, this room. It's been the item on my to-do list that I pushed back and back and back until finally, it started to look like we'd move again before this space became anything but a dumping ground for...

So, this was a lot of fun. Remember how I was going to work on it while on vacation? That didn't happen. Not even a little bit. But over the past week, I pieced it all together and am very...

We scheduled this trip in mid-April when work was crazy for us both and when we just were not connecting as a couple. It was really frustrating and having a short weekend getaway on the calendar was something nice to...

The garden is thriving with tomato plant cages. We are BBQing more often & fruit has become a meal. The days are getting longer and longer and I am so grateful for extra sunlight. Stamps are out the door and...

As you may have guessed, the rubber stamps are beginning to ship. Thank you, again and again, for your patience. My stamp makers were a bit overwhelmed with your orders - but I am sending them out as fast as...

I was NOT super active camera wise last week. Really only Wednesday, did I make a major effort to take a bunch of photos. But that's the beauty of my plan to only include seven photos a day. My favorites...

I am so excited to document a week in the life this year. This is a concept created by Ali Edwards (you can read more about it here) that focuses on capturing a detailed account of one week. I did...

I tend to take way more photos around my house than when I am out and about. I think it's because at my place, I'm in control of the situation and don't feel silly shooting the same thing multiple times....

I'm tired of deployment. But I'll never be tired of the town where we're stationed. Not sure if "even trade" is the correct expression, but the year we'll actually spend here together is going to be rad. p.s. I am...

I posted last fall about transitioning to natural skincare products. (You can read more about why I started making the switch in that post.) Four months later and I am still going pretty strong. I have stuck with some stuff,...

I finished. And it's safe to say, this is one of my top five favorite projects ever. (Also in the top five : the headboard & the giant song lyric canvas - surprisingly, both are also black and white.) But...

Thank you for your workshop ideas last week. I am letting them all percolate a little bit. I think I am on the verge of something good - but who knows? We'll see what comes out if it. One of...

Welcome to our house! This is what you see when you enter (if your view is carefully edited into a 4x6 inch image). Let's refresh a bit. Below are some before (Thursday, December 1st) photos and some after photos. To...
