Bike Inspiration

I love what Jim of Sweet Juniper has done with this vintage bike. It is outfitted with seats for his two children and fishing baskets for cargo. My bike at home is an old silver Puch mixte that I found on ebay. It might just get this same treatment. Family bike outings with Jay, Quinn and Oliver would be so much fun. Oh, I can just imagine the look on Oliver's face from the breeze as we take our first spin.

Shirts and Patterns

I have a few baby posts that I'm working on, but for some reason I am procrastinating with those... so, check out some more tops that I like. I've been working on pants for Oliver so men's wear patterns are on my mind. What do y'all think of the awesome new header my dear husband designed for me? I love the faint window pane pattern. He's the greatest.

Color

I want one in every single color. I've been contemplating my color comfort zone. I graviate towards greys and dark blues and greens. Bright colors take too much energy to put together in the morning for me. I think finding these tees is a sign that I should just stick with what I know....

Sitting Up (5 months)

Oliver is very excited about being able to sit up. He says, 'Oh! Well hello there... Can I eat your face?'

Kitchen Chairs

These images are the inspiration for an idea I have for our breakfast area. Last weekend I refinished the top of our gigantic round kitchen table. It has a nice 'hand rubbed' finish look to it now. We just need chairs.....

Partnering

Sometimes I drive Jay absolutely ape shit with frustration. In return he just told me one of the most romantic things I've ever heard: 'I aways want someone to be able to look in my ears for me.'

How can I argue with that?

Happy Tape

I'm not much of a crafter, but this looks like some really cool stuff. I'd never have to buy wrapping paper again - just a brown paper bag and this.
