Who knew there were so many ways?

This video has been making its rounds in the blogging circuit and it's absolutely perfect for the upcoming chillier scarf-wearing weather! I'm definitely armed and ready now...

Snapshots of the weekend

How was everyone's weekend?  Ours was busy busy as usual but meaningful with visits from family and outings with friends.  Annnnnd.... it looks like our baby girl is finally over the worst of her stranger anxiety!  You don't understand what good news this is- like a big cloud's been lifted off our shoulders.  From bracing ourselves for hysterics every time we took her out anywhere (with people) to having her actually smile, enjoy herself, be held by others and show that sparkly personality that we're blessed enough to see day in and day out.  It's as if she literally woke up one morning and decided, "nah... not going to do that anymore.  It's just not cool."  It left as quickly as it came.

On a random note, those crackle polishes are definitely pretty cool in concept, but applied, they sort of remind me of separated yogurt or something.  Or a globe.  Good to change things up every once in a while though, right?

Have an awesome week everyone!

It's here and other cuteness

It's here!  As a follow up to this post, my Clare Vivier messenger tote in navy finally got to go home with its mama yesterday and told me it feels right at home with me.

and, really tugs at the heartstrings just how quickly they grow...

Want to cuddle them forever...

Janet Echelman

Breathtaking string sculptures that evoke the aurora borealis.  Janet Echelman first conceived this creation while on a Fulbright lectureship in India where she learned traditional net weaving techniques from local fishermen.

Getting my hands dirty

After putting the nuggets down for bed last night, mama stole away to get her hands dirty.  Can I just tell you how fun it is?  

Also, been loving my new fall scarf.  

In need of some inspiration

I've been feeling sort of dry lately.  In a creative sense.  Time to dust off the hiney and get moving on that front.  Some things are in the works but more to come on that.

Thought I'd share a bit of sunshine/rain with you.  Poor poor Usher has lost almost everything to the babies... including his bed (and baby boy looks pretty happy about it).

Work spaces

I'm always so inspired seeing people in their element doing what they love, whether it be a physician at an operating table or an artist at an easel.

Both The Makers and Work Place give us glimpses into the work spaces and the creative processes of super talented artists, designers, entrepreneurs... Would love to one day have a beautiful work space of my own.
