the mural that started it all
I am such a bad blogger. I’ve been so busy on other things that I forgot to announce the winners of Miss Mustard Seed’s Wuslu Pick of the Month (the small pedestal with glass cloche) The winners are… Miss Kitty of Miss Kopy Kat DeeGeeRN and Melanie, anonymous, but left an e-mail. Congratulations! Yasmin […]
some updates
Aw, my boys are getting so big. They went off for their first day of full-day school today. My four year old is in pre-k five days and my three year old will attend two days a week. It’s a change that’s going to take some getting used to, but I will have so much […]
the most frequently asked question
I get a lot of e-mail and comments asking questions, but the most common one I receive is, “Where did you get your curtains?” Since I originally posted about them over a year ago (Has it been that long?), I decided to share the tutorial on how to make them again. When I was looking […]
the rest of the photo shoot
When I do a photo shoot for Cottages and Bungalows or HGTV.com, I take LOTS of shots. I not only get the “beauty shots” that I think my editors want, but I take closeups and some other pictures that are just for me. I just can’t help myself. So, here are some of the rest […]

Miss Mustard Seed’s Wuslu Pick of the Month & a Giveaway
One thing I have thoroughly enjoyed about blogging is meeting amazing, resourceful and creative women who have started their own businesses. I have met some all-around awesome entrepreneurs. One that I had the pleasure of meeting last week was Yasmin (and her sister, Nadia) of Wuslu. We met for dinner in Frederick, MD and I was […]
Chronic Disorganization
The show Hoarders is fascinating to me. People crying over garbage being thrown away. Someone living in a home where a cat skeleton (or several of them) goes unnoticed for years. It’s just interesting. I think a part of me finds it interesting because I see a little of myself in it. Just a teeny tiny bit. […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Favorites & a Link Party
As I type, my brain is fried. Is it possible to write a blog post with only 1/4 of your brain functioning? Well, we’ll see how coherent this one is. My mushy mind managed to spot some great, family oriented spaces and pieces of furniture from last week. Here they are… My dear friend Kelli […]
