We spotted these bertoia beauties (in terrible condition) outside an antique store in town and ended up scooping them up… Forrest dropped them off with the pros to have them sandblasted and powder coated. Some refinishing projects are better off not in our hands! Good as new, don’t you think? They look pretty groovy in …

so we accidentally adopted a cat.
Meet Roosevelt Clonts. Rosie, for short. You may have read about her here, back when we called her Fernando. Let me explain. I fed a street cat at old house on Wayne Street and she eventually decided we were her new family. After we had her spayed (through this amazing TNR program), she became super …
new house and a pop-up
Well, we’re officially homeowners again! We closed on our new house last week and when the floor refinishers are through sanding and sealing (later this week), we can begin the actual process of moving in!! Sunday night, we had a few friends over to check out the new digs. Forrest set up a little pop-up …
I not dead. Like the book.
Okay, I can explain. Or at least, I can throw excuses around. I haven’t posted since April, and while that may be inexcusable, life has been crazy lately. Here’s the recap. We sold the house! And then we had to pack it all up! I said goodbye to my friends and students at PES.. ..and got …
AH!
Welp, it’s official. Prepping a house to sell is basically a full time job. The good news is that the paperwork has been signed and we are officially on the market. Our house should be listed on the real estate sites later this week. In the meantime, here’s the sneak peek! In other news, we …
flowers
Our flowers this week are nice and fragrant! I forgot to grow any paperwhites this winter (which is fine, the cats try to eat them anyway) so I love having these in our home! So pretty and sweet! <3, Liz
waxing poetic
So I made a batik with paraffin, muslin fabric, and acrylic paints. Not the most sophisticated technique, I know. Still fun to do. I had it in my mind that I would use this fabric to make pillows for our couch, but I’m pretty sure it clashes terribly with the rug in front of said …
hip, hip, hooray for christmas vacation!
This was our first wrapped Christmas gift. Coincidentally, it’s also the first Christmas gift that Hemingway ripped into. She is kind of an evil cat, but it really was an accident. The box has an opening and her foot went right through the paper. Still, she shouldn’t have been standing on Daddy Marty’s gift. Since …
wrap it up, already.
It’s catch-up time! Here’s an annotated version of the past two weeks. I finally finished that wreath that got started last year. Also, the rest of Christmas is mostly set up at our house. Except the snowmen. They’re all just kind of in a huddle. We stayed Thanksgiving evening at my parent’s house. Everyone in …
christmas garland
I spotted this garland in the Christmas shop in Jonesborough a while back. Excuse the sad photo quality, but it’s felt flowers with a button in the center attached to a wire covered in green cloth. My natural reaction? I could make that. So I did. Or rather, I made something similar. I built my …
