round about:
old globes and new wooden beads

Thumbnail image for round about: <br />old globes and new wooden beads

It’s Mother’s Day weekend, and last night my husband told me he still had to figure out what my daughter would be giving me on Sunday. Ah men, kinda typical right? I’m not worried, he’s actually one of the most thoughtful gift givers I’ve ever met. But, in case he needs some help, I thought [...]

round about:
leaf ballerinas & architectural geodes

This is a strange sensation, I’m kind of at a loss for words tonight. How rare is that?! Ok, maybe that’s not entirely true, but my mental state is a rare one. This week I told someone I felt like a placeholder. It’s like somehow I wasn’t really a part of what was going on [...]

mozart, igloos, & pixelated envelopes

Ah, the conundrum of the 2000′s – somehow I swear this week didn’t even happen. I feel like I. Just. Wrote. a Friday post! Arguably, when I sit still for five seconds and think about it, this week was quiet and lovely. I finally found my Mojo – which had been MIA, lost somewhere in [...]

This week’s round up is the beginning of a slightly different direction for me, visually – at least if it sticks! Because that’s the beauty of a blog, one can change her mind when she feels like it! But I do believe we need some Springy breaths of fresh air around here, so I thought [...]

Aaah, the end of a long week. I’d really like to end it staring at my own version of these adorable DIY Cloud Mobiles, found via Handmade Charlotte. Aren’t they wonderful? See more of my favorite links for the week below: Babble.com has a new Crafts & Activities channel – can’t wait to see the [...]

weekly round about #77

All I really want to do today is find one of these rooms, a huge blanket/pillow, and cuddle up in those tubes. Without interruption. Without work. Maybe I’d bring a book … maybe not. I think I just need a day without expectations – a vacation from my own  and everyone else’s! This week’s top [...]

weekly round about #76

Isn’t this always the way: after working hard for a couple of weeks, I take a couple of days “off” (ha, not completely, but you know what I mean!) and what’s the first thing that happens? I catch a bug. No, not the one flying around my reading lamp, but the kind that messes with [...]

weekly round abouts #75

Welcome to your weekend! But I believe what most of us are thinking is in fact: Thank the Gods Above that it’s finally March! I’ve been buried at my computer this week, working on some really fun new designs for a freelance project. So I was stunned when I took a breath and realized the [...]

unusual office accessories? you bet.

My “home office” in a corner of our downstairs is finally almost functional. A real desk, a very nice ergonomic chair, an iMac with a fatty monitor, and the work to keep me busy. (I won’t dwell on the entire wall covered in random storage items, or the 2 vacuum cleaners that will fit nowhere [...]

weekend roundabouts #73 – Valentine’s edition!

Thumbnail image for weekend roundabouts #73 – Valentine’s edition!

It’s February! Time to let your sappy heart-filled side out to play in the sun. I secretly love Valentine’s Day – the handmade sweet sentimental side, not the Hallmark version. So we’ve been decorating a little bit, crafting a little bit, and brainstorming several fun things to include here on the blog. I’m hoping to [...]

weekend roundabout #72

This week my sweet Birdie girl has returned to her true form. I swear last week I thought her third birthday had included some magical demon-child curse. As always, I am reminded that the only constant with a child is constant change. It’s as fickle and fleeting as her favorite toys. Is this true with [...]

weekend roundabout #71

I have this strange sense of discombobulation this week. It’s like the lack of routine from the holidays is finally catching up to me, and nothing quite adds up in a day. Does anyone else have this feeling? It’s also the nagging sensation that I have several New Year’s Resolutions sitting in my subconscious just [...]

weekend roundabout #70

2012 is already a whirlwind of activity around our house. How did we spend New Year’s weekend? Determined to clear out some of our clutter. I delivered an SUV-load to one of our local thrift store at 4:50 PM on New Year’s Eve (they closed at 5:00!) And a second load on the 2nd. Dang [...]

weekend picks #69

This is the week that never was. We all careen into Christmas, then lurch through a blank week of no-school, semi-vacation, post-sugar-rush and post-christmas-letdown, smacking directly into New Year’s. Ooph. I’m still trying to dig out from the piles of wonderful things that we’ve accumulatd over the past week, how about you? It has me [...]

It’s here. It’s finally here, the weekend we plan and hope and wait for all month long – and I think, honestly, for several months prior to that! I just love the holidays, and I hope you’re having a wonderful time out there enjoying yours. Here’s some last minute links to keep you extra-busy today! [...]
