highlights


from my sketchbook: I had a fantasy about a craftsman style cottage with a yellow front door, and thought that crisp gray siding would really be lovely. A teal door would also be fantastic.


hand embroidery: a newborn-sized onesie I stitched for my cousin Ashlee's baby shower, can't wait to meet her little girl!

shopping: have done pretty well lately spending-wise, treated myself to my happy place (Target) and picked up this new handbag; love the olive color and simple style + I needed a touch of color to perk me up!
