Maxwell and his supervisor.

December 17, 2013 · 13 Comments
Filed Under: Maxwell, the pup

So, this pretty much sums up our lives right now. Maxwell is into EVERY.THING and basically needs to be supervised at all seconds of every moment. I’ve found that anything cardboard (an empty paper towel roll or an empty bolt of fabric) is super cool in his book, as well as my metal whisk from… [Read More]

On admitting something really embarrassing.

December 13, 2013 · 13 Comments
Filed Under: inspiration, sewing

It’s been an embarrassingly long time since I last made something for myself, and an even more embarrassingly long time since I last sewed something for myself. Our Christmas tree skirt this year? I wrapped a bath towel around the base of the tree and then draped 2.25 yards of fabric over top. (And you… [Read More]

The Fabric Store // Los Angeles

December 11, 2013 · 22 Comments
Filed Under: Los Angeles, sewing, shop feature

I was recently invited to visit The Fabric Store, a new fabric shop in Los Angeles. It’d be silly to turn down an opportunity involving fabric, so Maxwell and I accepted the invitation and drove over. One thing I’ve learned about balancing mamahood + work is that babies looooove fabric and craft stores (just watch… [Read More]

  Over the weekend we picked out our Christmas tree, a milestone for our little family of three! Maxwell was asleep in the Jeep while we were driving to a tree farm set up within the city of Los Angeles, and I thought for sure he was going to sleep through the whole thing. But… [Read More]
