I Dress Myself.
Juniper is forever coming out of her room with some of the best outfits picked out. She makes me laugh with her silly clothes. But sometimes I need to stop, look down, and remember where she gets her fashion sense.
Mini Cake Challenge – November
I’ve been wanting to try this technique forever. I’m glad I finally decided to go for it, because it sure makes for a super cute little cake! Now, usually I am a strong believer that every single thing on a cake should be edible, but I just couldn’t resist adding a little cake bunting. (Darn…
Birthday List Revisited (Again!)
I thought I’d take a look back at my “26 before 27″ list from my birthday last January. I can’t believe I’ll be having another birthday so soon! I’ve done quite a few things on the list, not all, but a nice chunk. There are still a few things I definitely want to try and…
{CraftHope} Sock Monkeys
My craft room has been slowly taken over by a band of poetry reading, bank robbing, ballerina sock monkeys. They have finally been boxed up and shipped to Texas where they will be finding new homes with little kids who were affected by the wild fires. I am thoroughly in love with CraftHope. I love…

Playing With Clay
I got a sudden urge to play with clay the other day so I headed to Michaels and Hobby Lobby (with trusty coupons in hand) to pick up a few supplies. My plan is to design several different fairy wall plaques, make silicone molds, and experiment with resin casting. I really want to start selling…
Little Orange Notebook
Do you know what happens when you take a stressful day, add a couple of fussy kids and a failed external hard drive? A small emotional breakdown. And do you know what you get once the tears are finished flowing? A calmness and reassurance that things will work out the way they are supposed to.…
Preview
Juniper and I had some fun in my (newly unpacked and organized!) craft room today. And the outcome was adorable! I will share pictures soon, but here is a little preview. The unpacking process is coming along great. Having people over this weekend was exactly the kind of motivation we needed! I’ve got a handful…
