I love these gorgeous faux-gauge wooden earrings from Sanskrit Dream, but since the natural wood color was close to my hair, they tended to blend it. So I painted them.

The idea is “psychedelic rainbow peacock” so they fit in real nice with my wardrobe. I like that although they look like wings, they are vegan–no ...Read more.

SOFA CITY MAKEOVER

Jason picked out a very comfortable sofa for our apartment, and he did it as a bachelor. It’s good for lounging, and when we remove the pillows it’s as wide as a twin bed (for guests!).

Today my youngest nephew turns 5! I don’t have photos of his birthday gift (it’s not 100% finished), but I would like to share what I made for Kaden’s birthday in 2011: a robot squid!

I called him Squidy, but Kaden renamed him Bloppy Bloppy, which is pretty awesome too.

The body is made from a ...Read more.

This past weekend I went to Sew LA’s party for Gertie’s Guide to Sewing book. It was nice to chat with like-minded sewing ladies, and I certainly enjoyed the homemade cherry pie and rum punch!

Of course, Gertie was perfectly charming! She signed my book, and even kept my Sharpie. Technically it was my husband’s ...Read more.
