tufted sofa progress
I have a lot of “business-y” things on my to-do list for the month, so it’s important that I balance it out with creative work…projects that are fun for me to work on, take pictures of, and share here on the blog. I’m trying to resist the urge to buy new things and, instead, work […]
CEO lessons & january goals
Sunday night, I was conflicted. We had just flown in from our trip to the Vintage Whites Market. I had been “working” all weekend and I really wanted (and needed) to just spend Monday at home…cleaning, hitting the grocery store, unpacking, etc. You know the drill. I own my own business, so I can do […]

Reliving my Andrea McArdle Moment
If you read my bio or have been hanging around my blog for a while, you know that I have a degree in musical theatre. I’ve shared before about my dream to be on Broadway and how I’ve kept my dance shoes, scripts and music repertoire binder long after they’ve been useful to me in […]
textile sale & how to make a slipcover | part 5
As I’ve shared, I’ve been in a major cleaning and purging mood. It’s been happening at home and at the studio. The more I get rid of, the better it feels and I want to get rid of more, so I’m running with it. Before we took a break for Christmas, Kriste and I cleaned […]
