These adorable fruit and veggie baskets from Ikea are so cute I can barely stand it. The veggies are especially adorable don’t you think? {via Meg Kat}

Origami Roman

In: Art| Cool Stuff| Crafts

21 Jul 2010

I hope to share a little more about our packing for Montana later in the day. I would have been more on the ball, but I’ve been distracted by my over 1k unread blog posts in Google Reader. How cute are these origami animals from Origami Roman? I’m in awe! I love paper bears, but [...]

Our Fourth of July Weekend

In: Cats| Clive| Crafts| DIY| Drink| Furniture| Holidays

7 Jul 2010

Paint!? Okay, let me explain. This weekend we got a lesson in making plans. Sometimes the plans you make are not the plans that happen. Sometimes what you think is cement is water, and all you can do is make the best with what you’ve got. Our original plans to head south to Springfield for [...]

My Sweetgum Wreath

In: Crafts| Interior Design| Jessica

12 Apr 2010

Many of you have probably seen Sweetgum fruit. If you have, you probably hate Sweetgum fruit with devout passion. That annoying prickly seed that plants itself in the grass and is impossible to rake up every spring, grr! My sweet 86 year-old dear Christian neighbor Virginia can be heard cursing them under her breath. I’ve [...]

Be My Frugal Valentine: Valentines to Love for Under $20

In: Art| Cool Stuff| Crafts| Frugality| Holidays| Illustration

10 Feb 2010

I think I knew that that I would grow up to be a designer before I even knew what a designer was. As a kid, I plotted the look of my Valentine’s Day cards all year. It was my chance to show people my art, and my Valentine’s were always unlike anything anyone else gave [...]

Happy Belated Valentine’s Week

In: Cool Stuff| Crafts| Family| Food| Friends| Frugality| Holidays| blogging

10 Feb 2010

Valentine’s Day is among the most commercialized holidays of the calendar year, offering retailers and businesses the opportunity to rake in an estimated $14.7 billion dollars last year. That number represented a steep decline over previous years if you can believe it. To many of us it’s the first time we open our wallets after [...]

My baby brother has a girlfriend

In: Art| Crafts| Family

13 Jan 2010

Her name is Mallory, and she is absolutely the most adorably cute girl you’ve barely been able to catch sight of. She’s seriously as bright as the sun. She oozes congeniality. How do you do it Mallory?
Baby Brother, you know you’re a handsome git too. Must have been all that Crisco we tricked you into [...]

Our Belated New Year’s Resolutions

Is it a bad omen when we’re already two weeks behind in getting these up?
In our defense, tons of our (mainly Neil’s) projects had go-live/completion deadlines in the first two weeks and we’ve pushed ahead earlier than originally planned on one of our financial resolutions to replace a car with a new and [...]

DIY Book Wreath

In: Crafts

6 Nov 2009

This tutorial has been posted elsewhere already, but I couldn’t help but share in the awe. I mean seriously…awe! Although I cringe at the idea of tearing up a book, I can’t help but think this is seriously do-able and practical, not to mention an inexpensive way to “church up” (as my husband says) any [...]

Another something I want to give a try

In: Art| Crafts

6 Nov 2009

Another crafty thing I haven’t tried is embroidery. I never thought much of the potential in embroidery until I saw this beautiful piece by Katie of What Katie Does. It’s on paper, but for a special project called The Travelling Moleskine by The Culture Vulture. It just looks fun, and not overwhelmingly difficult. I say [...]
