A note for my children

A reminder to teach them these things before they turn 10. Both my son and my daughter.

Project Progress: Unquilted Hawaiian Quilt

Applique was finished about a year and a half ago. Maybe this year, I'll finally get to the actual quilting. Displaying it definitely helps the inspiration/motivation department.

Reminder and Encouragement to All Moms

I really loved this recent post my friend shared on her FB page. It let me laugh and smile and breathe.

Wishlist: Scraplights

Amazing lights made out of recycled cardboard boxes. Love, love, love them! Order from Graypants.

Wishlist: Brownstone in Brooklyn

This is my dream home. All of it. Vintage and modern. But all with a sense of history and tradition.

Orange rubber floor

There's something about this orange floor that I really like. Not for the kitchen, necessarily, but for a general work space. Maybe even in a kids' playroom. Hmm... something to think about..

Inspiration: NYC quilt

Love the look of this white on white quilt. Effortless and elegant.

Happy Halloween!

11.12.11. Nico kept hitting the pumpkin with his hands and threatening to roll right out and bonk his head. Izzy just stood there frozen. Would have liked to change or take off their clothes, but it was right before dinner/bedtime, the night before a transcontinental flight, and literally 5 minutes from meltdowns. Snap, snap, snap. And it had to be over.

I want: storage carts

No way that I'd be able to justify paying so much for these underbed storage carts from Serena&Lily (via Remodelista), especially when they seem so easy to make! But still... they would be really cute for our bedroom.
