wish I could.

I've been wanting to quilt for a while now, although I don't know how to sew properly. Kind of a problem. Need to get to learning, I suppose. These are beautiful, hand-dyed quilts from kim e-m.

Iowa Landscape quilt

 Paint Chip quilt

Sunrise quilt

....these from Carson Converse Studios are equally neat.

I'm blogging on Birds of Ohio's blog. If you like pretty vintage textiles and prints, I'd recommend a visit!

found! lamp light

it was green tag half off day. I'm no math whiz, but I think that's like $2.50...yeah.

with new drum shade from Target ($25). My mom will probably call me shortly after reading this and tell me to wash the dang windows. eh. I like that the shade and base match in color too.

I was perusing my new Better Homes and Gardens magazine and found this similar lamp from Lampsplus.com. selling for 89 bucks. kinda similar, right? I personally like the proportion of mine better...

globular lamp bases, what do you think?

watching you.

such cute bed pillows.

vacation haze

I just got back from vacation yesterday. I'm finding it hard to adjust (surprise).  I could live in this photo and be happy, couldn't you?  

happy new year!!

Happy New Year from Haleakala!

woke up at 3am, drove from sea level to 10,000 feet to watch the sunrise above the clouds. and it was amazing (and freezing!)

music(s)

Hi folks, I wanted to ask a favor. Any good music recommendations lately? I'm going on a little vacation in a couple of days and wanted to load up my pod with lots of new tunes. Thinking about Jenny and Johnny's new one...have you heard?
