creative play | bookbinding single pages
In my last box of goodies that came from across the pond from Julia of , I received several vintage and antique sketchbooks and drawing/oil papers. She’s been on the hunt for those for me, so I could recreate some of the Kitchin sketches on old paper. And I love old art supplies and she […]
basement family room makeover | decisions
Over the last few weeks, you’ve seen me meander through decisions about my basement family room makeover. And, let me say, I am so glad I have given myself the freedom to change course and switch directions, I believe that freedom – that relaxed, unhurried approach, will end up making for a better room.

creative play | customizing sketchbooks with fabric
I know I’ve already done a post on customizing sketchbooks (you can find that post here), but I spent a little bit of my creative playtime last week addressing something that bugged me about another style of sketchbook I use.
