My artbeads design stuff came in the mail yesterday! Yay! It’s the best selection yet, at least in terms of what I want to do – all the products were exactly what I was hoping for. Detailed review, tutorials, and more photos to come in the next few weeks, as soon as I get it [...]

Happy Easter (to those of you who celebrate) and hope everyone else in the US is enjoying the holiday weekend. We are spending time with family, eating good food, and I’m enjoying getting to try out some of the adorable baby clothes we were given. Will be taking lots of pictures. My son has been [...]

…I have a new blog, called MommyCraft, where I write about being creative while also being a mom. Mostly so far I’ve been writing about projects to do with kids or for kids.

February has been a good month for me. First I got a baby gift from the lovely and talented Marisa of Elegant Snobbery – it’s a princess sock monkey print to hang in my kid room: I already have a few boy-themed prints from her shop, so this will balance out the testosterone a bit [...]

And I need to destash some of these perfectly lovely items because, well, there’s no more room in [...]

I got a major garage sale score Sunday morning – a (broken) antique typewriter, will all the keys intact. Okay, so maybe it’s just vintage, not an antique (I’m not sure how old something has to be to be an antique…) but this is a very old, very broken typewriter. I’m estimating the date of [...]

Happy Easter and Passover, if you celebrate either! I’m excited about the holiday this weekend because it’s a great excuse to dress my son up in his little suit. Is there anything cuter than a one-year-old wearing a sweater vest over a button-down shirt? I’m also looking forward to taking him to an Easter egg [...]
