Industrial Candle Holders

As we anxiously await for our new bedroom furniture Jason and I are starting to think about some of the details we want to add to our freshly painted (and completely empty) bedroom. While our house is new and fairly traditional in style we like the industrial look with some creative, modern touches here and there. I am totally digging these candle holders from CB2 and thinking they may have to be the next purchase to help decorate the space.

 

Baby Blanket

This is a baby quilt I made for a friend of mine last summer. They had not found out if they were having a boy or girl yet so I needed something fairly gender-neutral for the material and yet modern to match their taste.

 

  

  

  

 

Simply.

I’ve wanted to start a blog for awhile but for the longest time felt I had nothing to offer besides it being a venue for my writing and random thoughts (what exactly would I write about, anyway??). Now that I have gotten into making things by hand I thought I could use it to post my latest projects and general updates on life, as well as share cool new ideas that I run across.

With today kicking off the beginning of the Lenten season, I thought it would be a great time to take a look at how I want to be living and re-shift my efforts on what I value in life: my faith, my husband, my friends and the things that make me happy – like being creative, enjoying a great glass of wine, taking outdoor adventures with my husband and sharing good conversation with friends.

So join the conversation if you’d like! And here’s to refocusing on living life – fully and simply.

Mini-Cosmetic Bag

I put this together the other day - first shot at something with a zipper (pretty easy!) I think it turned out pretty cute. Would love to make a set of different sizes.
