good long while

right now

I'd like to be wearing this right now.

and carrying this.

And I suppose I could go for one of these too.

batch of blue

I just added a batch of blue hand-dyed tea towels to the shop.
 

tough enough

We spend a lot of time on our deck. It's right outside our front door and is completely fenced in, so it's great place for the little guy to hang out. I wanted plants out there, but was stumped about what would hold up to a toddler who enjoys picking flowers and dropping rocks on plants.

After a little trial and error I came up with a plan that I think is going to work.I picked out some tough-looking succulents and I decided to incorporate a spot especially for rocks in each pot. After a few days things are still looking good, despite a visit from a small purple stegasaurus.

just hatched

I thought this etsy shop had some cute things.

out of the blue

I just added a set of four leaf placemats to the shop.

I should have a new batch of hand-dyed tea towels available soon.

Here's a peek at what I'm working on today.

There's some kind of trend going on here.

color

I'm working on a couple projects right now. Here's a glimpse of some color samples that I'm considering.

back and juggling

Hi! We were on the road last week. We drove down to Santa Barbara and made a few stops along the way to Pope Valley, San Luis Obispo and San Fracisco. The little one traveled like a champ - most of the time, at least. These photos are from the mission in Santa Barbara.

On another note, I've been really interested in the series this week on the cup of jo blog about balancing work/life/motherhood. This issue has been a big challenge for me to figure out. I'm still working on it.
