Last week I posted pictures of a darling nursery. I went back to give proper credit to the homeowner/designer and in the process lost the post. Well, now I'm back with even more info and p...
No, my water didn't break. Sharpie now makes their Sharpie Pen RETRACTABLE! This was the only pitfall to their pen... people like me forget to put the lid back on. Problem solved! I haven...
Hi friends. Thanks for the emails and phone calls... I am trucking right along and still very pregnant. I am working like a crazy woman, which leaves very little time for anything else... sorry! D...
Okay, not really... but almost. I've just fallen in love with these: (the Adler giraffe sconces are pretty cute too) And of course birds make the most sense flying in the sky: AND the crib sk...
On Monday I wore this* and that day I had a construction jobsite meeting... you know the type where you hurdle concrete blocks and 2x4s, climb on dangerous stairs, and rub elbows with some of the w...
Earlier this year we embarked upon a major backyard renovation... sod, new additions in the garden, irrigation, fence, the whole shebang. Our furry and non-furry friends alike have enjoyed it. ...

photo from Elle Decor, September 2009 If you don't have a subscription to Elle Decor you are missing out. It is my favorite. Last week was so busy the September issue almost dry rotted as it...
Yesterday my parents celebrated 35 years of marriage. Earlier this summer my grandmother (Mimi) sent me a stack of photos... a note on this one said "here's a picture of your mom and dad o...
We had a busy weekend. Had a delicious dinner at the in-laws on Friday night! Have I mentioned before that they have cows? I like these cows now more than ever, likely because I still feel small i...
I WON! I WON! I WON!!!!!! I must admit I've grown very fond of elastic-waisted pants these last 9 months... but when I saw these jeans being given away over at Two Ellie... I had to leave a c...
Sorry for the light posting this week, I have had very little time to spare. I'm getting sentimental about this baby that has taken over my body for the past 9 months. On Saturday I dropped my c...
Almost too pretty to actually use... I love it. The awning style hood really seals the deal. mick de giulio :: via Life in a Venti Cup :: via Decorati
Whoever came up with the phrase "working like a dog" did not know Penelope & Paisley. I would like to be one of my dogs... maybe not forever, but just for a few days. Neither of the...

Jenny paid $5.99/yard for the fabric and her mom whipped this up for her... sounds too good to be true, but it is not. See for yourself here. image from Little Green Notebook
I went to work an hour early yesterday, just so I could work on this post. My computer at home is dead, despite the fact that I paid to have it repaired last week. After I finished a very long and...
All the shelter magazines may be folding right before our eyes... but this article/interview with Steven Gambrel more than makes up for the lack of eyecandy in my mailbox these days. Just when I was...
A couple of weeks ago I received an email from Philip. [Husband of a blog reader.] He's not the first husband to email me... Zack and Michael (other blog reader husbands) have blazed trails be...
I don't have anything creative to share, and as a result I probably should step away from the blog. I've worked approximately 80 hours this week, my car is in the shop, and let's see ...
