I’ve mentioned my distain for the task of doing laundry on more than a few occasions here on the blog and even in my book. It’s not that it’s a horrible, draining, back-breaking task, but it’s never ending. You finish and there are already dirty clothes piling up in the hamper. It’s never done. And […]
second landscape dresser | part two
I avoided the landscape dresser for the better part of the day with great success. I busied myself with e-mail, phone meetings, writing a post… I was pretty convinced that I was going to mess it up. That’s just the truth. Even though I felt inspired to do more landscape painting, I was really intimidated […]
second landscape dresser | part one
Do you remember our first landscape dresser? In case you don’t (or perhaps you missed it or you’re just joining us), here is a refresher… It was a collaboration between Kriste and I. After working on it, along with the murals and other hand painted landscape elements we used in our booth for the Lucketts […]

white splint basket
If you’ve been reading my posts over the past few weeks, you know that I have a new-found love for baskets. I collected a lot of them to sell at Lucketts and I enjoyed using them as props around the studio. During one of my shopping trips, though, I bought a basket for myself. It’s […]
I’ve got nothin’
I usually post six days a week. That’s just what I do as a part of my job. And usually I have an abundance of things to talk about. Well, tonight, I opened my computer and sat in front of a blank page for about 45 minutes. Hoping to find a spark of inspiration, I […]
simple pillow tutorial (with piping)
I’ve shared a few pillow tutorials on my blog over the years, but it’s been a while, so I decided to take some pictures as I was making a couple of pillows today and share a tutorial for how to sew a simple pillow with a piping edge. There is a video tutorial towards the […]
