documenting the ordinary
So, I’m basically a stalker now. I’ve shared about Michelle Wooderson’s watercolor class (on Jeanne Oliver’s Creative Network) and how inspirational I find her Instagram feed. She’s one of my “click-overs”. ** In addition to inciting art supply envy (in the best possible way), she has been sharing a watercolor journal project. It’s a 1920’s diary […]
rose bush nest & more packing
A few weeks ago, my mom told me about a nest that she discovered in one of her rose bushes. She thought I would like it, so we went snooping for it when we were over at her house for burgers on Memorial Day. It was a beautiful nest, filled with three turquoise eggs. Sadly, […]
the wasted space
I’ve always thought of the formal living room in our house as a bit of a waste. The original part of our home was built in 1948 and this little room, right when you walk in the front door was the only living area. Though it’s small, it was very well designed. It’s opened to […]

In this series, I was going to head in a lighter direction, since we talked about stuff with strings last time, but I decided to continue to wade in deep waters and write to those who are the “keeper of the stuff”. This is the person who ends up with all of the family stuff that […]

I planned to write this post last night, but I was exhausted and decided I needed to wait until the morning to string together coherent sentences. Well, once I got going in the morning, there was no sitting down at the computer to write a post. I had my weekly Skype meeting with my staff […]
this home is not my world
We spent last week split between visiting Jeff’s family in Raleigh and sneaking in some R&R at Myrtle Beach. It was nice to get away from the packing and to spend some time on the beach, by the pool, and playing board games with the boys. I always look forward to getting home, though. There is […]
Whatever happened to…?
There are some things that I started and didn’t finish. I’m sure you can relate. So, I thought I would write a post to tie up some loose ends – things that ended up in my graveyard of good ideas and other things you just may be wondering about! Whatever happened to… …Kriste? My trusty […]
