Decorative Clay Bell DIY
I've been crushing on the ceramic bells I've seen pop up in a few of my favorite stores all summer, so it was high time I tried to make something similar myself. These are purely for decor and don't actually make that lovely sound that hand-thrown clay bells make, but they sure look fancy on my...
Love these fall colors! I am intrigued to find out more about this rug hooking! Thanks for sharing.
just what I need
Another crafty hobby? Why not! The more the merrier, I say. I've been thinking about rug hooking for a while now, partly inspired by the beautiful rugs Megan has been making these past few years, as well as the North Woods Rug that Charlotte created for the pages of Taproot (in Issue 8::RE...
It is so inspiring to see other peoples houses. Thanks for sharing! Love your blog & podcast! Super motivating!
other various house updates.
I have a few big and little things on my running list to "finish" this house up. I am not one of those people that likes to always be in progress on home repairs and updates. I totally get that method (sounds fun, actually) but I think I got used to setting up and moving quickly thanks to the ...
This is an awesome solution. We have a similar situation, but I had never thought about something like this as an option. Thank you for sharing.
external sliding door in the master bedroom.
I feel like this post should begin with a sigh of relief. It has been my plan to add a sliding door between the bedroom and small master bathroom since day one. On home inspection day, right after we opened escrow, I toured the house and knew immediately we'd be taking the door off the bathroo...
This event looks so inspiring & full of life & love! Love your posts! Thanks for sharing. The area you live in looks so amazing!!
this year, at the fair
The Common Ground Country Fair has come to a close, and I've heard that the first frost has arrived at home. Autumn is upon us! I've been at the fair for a few days now with the Taproot team, busy with our booth at the fair. We met so many amazing pe...
This class looks amazing & inspiring. Thanks for sharing all the thoughts about Braden! I hope he is doing good!! Miss you Girl!
2 New Mixed Media Workshops for Fall!
Hello Lovely Friends! Fall is such a great time to dig in and create, get messy, expand your creative wings and deepen your knowledge of the creative process! I am constantly finding new ways to learn and my art is constantly changing for it.. and I LOVE it. I find that when I stay in one place ...
Love the perspective of this post! So so interesting & automatically made me think of the adventure my favorite pair of shoes has taken. Thanks for the inspiring post!
this is yet another story about shoes.
(If you're new here, this is the original shoe story and here's the second shoe story.) Once upon a time, the shoe on the left looked like the shoe on the right. And then in just over two years (!) the shoe lived a full life. The shoe became "the main shoe" in the summer of 2012. It walked the...
Love your honesty & how you just say it how it is. It is hard not to get worked up about things in the future. Hard to stay in the now. Thanks for keeping it all in prospective. It helps me do the same hearing it from others.
around here.
Sometimes I feel like a broken record. Each podcast episode starts with "I'm really excited about this week's episode." and most of my around here posts start with "thank you so much for your sweet comments this week." (Not to mention what I continually say around the house..."what do ...
This is amazing. Loving your garden & all the things you have gotten from it. Thank you for sharing your process. It is so motivating to me to plant a fall garden here in AZ.
in the garden :: September 18
This week in my garden (and in our kitchen), we have .... :: scratched our heads in disbelief at all the beans, beans, and more beans coming in! :: fretted over the first frost, which hasn't happened yet, but could any day now. :: cut, arranged and shared flowers with everyone we can, ev...
You are so awesome! Love how you make it look so easy & do able. I need motivation, when it is so freaking hot out, it's hard to even think about Fall being a season.

September MAKE29 : behind the scenes.
I'm thrilled to share photos and details about the September edition of MAKE29 today. On 9/22 at 11AM PST I'll be selling 29 handmade foldover clutches, every bit of which were sewn by me. This edition was originally scheduled for MARCH. And then there was a fabric shipping hold-up. And then...

Grow baby grow.
The start of our veggie garden. Actually our whole backyard. Ever since I went to Bali in January, David has been as motivated as me to get our backyard more "green" or should I say, "less desert like." I love living close to the trails so that I can mountain bike or hike whenever I want, withou...
