Maybe it's because I'm a heart-lovin', love-lovin', Valentines-Day-anticipating girl, or maybe it's just because I'm feeling crafty, I whipped up some portland cement this week and made a darling little …
My mom might proclaim that this is a little more frou-frou than most of my other DIY projects and door decor. As in floofy. As in fluffy. As in that …
We got our Christmas clear-out on this week (taking a brief window of opportunity when it arose, in an effort to not be that couple with their Christmas tree up …
We had a radical + relaxing Christmas weekend mushed between a crazy last week and a crazier this week (I started gutting our bathroom yesterday, more to come on that, …
To all of you, have a very Merry Holiday weekend. 2011 has literally (litch-rully) been the best year ever, and it gives me great reason to look forward to 2012. Without further …
The holiday season has gotten the best of me yet again. I always have grand plans of wrapping my gifts beautifully, colorfully, and to photographic-perfection (the same way I remember Santa's …
It was a cookie-filled weekend yielding a cookie-filled belly. It's a good thing I re-succumbed to yoga. I had high hopes of going cookie-hog-wild this year, but still only somehow …
I resurrected one of the last issues of ReadyMade (RIP) and flipped to this tutorial on using potting tiny pines for holiday decor. I liked their idea, although I didn't …
It hadn't occured to me when I brought home my mini-tree that I didn't have an official tree topper. As in, I've never had one. I do recall that a …

Happy Labor Day, Peeps. Last year, Pete and I celebrated the long holiday weekend by regrading the backyard as the necessary finishing step for the deck that we built. What we …
Easter is my fatty food marathon. Chocolate overload aside, I usually eat an enormous brunch, including my weight in rye bread that's somehow been blessed which makes it OK, and …
