Leave it to my clever and crafty friend Heather to help me come up with my next DIY project for the blog. She has a wonderful stash of scrap leather that she lets me dig into for blog projects – like this clutch, hair clips, and our rope basket with leather handles. So when she…
One of my goals for 2016 is to continue to get my home both organized and simplified. We have been living in our new flat for six months now. (All of the boxes are unpacked and it’s definitely feeling like home.) I am lucky enough to have office/studio space just off of the dining room…
Our latest Valentine project for minted’s blog, Julep is seriously so quick and so cute. We made hearts from watercolor paper with beautiful pinks and purples paints. The hearts look darling on mini cupcakes. Just think how cute they would be on Valentine’s Day morning on a stack of pancakes or donuts! There’s still time…
It is no secret that we both love a good striped tee. I think we inherited this from our mom! The wonderful thing about a good striped black and white tee is that it can be paired with just about anything! You can dress it up or dress it down. Today we have created our…
This year for Valentine’s Day, Harper and I really wanted to come up with something for her friends that they can keep around long after February 14.

On of my personal goals for 2016 is to learn a new creative skill but also get back to some creative skills I seemed to have put on the back burner last year. I definitely put sewing on that back burner. I love to pick and mix fabrics and create something new. I also love…
Our latest DIY for minted’s blog, Julep is perfect for a Valentine’s party. We made some darling little treat bags from muslin bags and fabric scraps. Have you used double sided iron-on adhesive before? It is brilliant, a crafter’s dream! Harper wants to host a Valentine’s party for her friends and make cookies and treats….
How do you keep your to do list? Do you use online tools and apps or an old fashioned notebook? From Evernote, Google calendar, notebooks and calendars – there are so many options. At the beginning of the year, I always try to start things off very organized. I have to admit, I am a traditionalist…
Books. Read more books. This is something I will be working on in 2016. So to get a bit more excited about this goal of reading more books, I just had to make something book related. If you have been reading our blog this past year or two, you know how much we love shibori…
One of our girls’ most favorite things to do with their Gram is to bake cookies. It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, when we’re at our folks’ house, one of first activities is to get in the kitchen and bake. Harper, Calla and now Poppy, too all put on aprons along with…
