Hooray for Hamilton

I visited Hamilton fall of '09 and loved it! Super excited for them and their new partnership with Target!

Sewing Success!

So, I ended up not having enough fabric for the yoga bag, but I did make one of these cute little boxes. I forgot to snap a picture of my finished product, but here's the one that is featured on the free tutorial. (The tutorial is good, but seems to have a lot of extra steps at the beginning. Once I perfect my version I'll post it).

Time to sew!

My close friend Angie is coming over today for a night of sewing and I'm pumped to be trying a new pattern that I found over on the PresserFoot blog. My yoga mat hasn't seen much use since the college days, but perhaps a cute bag will encourage me to bust it out. The Amy Butler pattern is FREE over on her site.

Pretty Pie Plate

I don't like pie, but this pie plate sure looks fun... I could use it for cobbler, right? Aaaand at $38 bucks it's actually something I could afford from Anthropologie.

Friday Funny

From a Dutch site I was on today, I have no idea what that blogger said about it (as I don't speak Dutch), but I laughed my ass off.

Etsy Love: morganprather

I posted a pair of earrings that I loved from morganprather's shop a while back. I peeked again today and saw this gorgeous necklace! Classy, yet fun (and super affordable at only 20 bucks!).

A more in depth look at the Nelma face from my previous post. I love it. LOVE. And it's a Mpls designer, even better!

Hair Inspire

Once upon a time I had super long hair like this. About this color, too. I've been thinking of growing it back and this pic completely sealed the deal. Now, I just need to rid myself of the bright blonde I've been rocking for the past year...

The Burning House

If your house was burning, what would you take with you? It's a conflict between what's practical, valuable and sentimental. What you would take reflects your interests, background and priorities. Think of it as an interview condensed into one question.
