Hipster Bric a Brac and Trendy Trinkets

I emptied out my storage locker and realized that I have a lot of random things. Childhood memories, 1/2 started or daydream projects I never got around to doing, pieces of ‘art’ I still love but have no where to hang and so on ….

Hoping to sell most of it tomorrow!

Measure twice

Cut once. I suck at following this very simple and very important rule.

Tonight two of my friends are getting married so Mia and I decided to make home made wedding cards.

heart-phoneboothI have always loved December. I am super fortunate and have a really amazing family and a brilliant group of friends. This is the month where I get to talk to and see a lot of people that I don’t get to see as often as I would like to.  Happy Holidays to you and yours!

 

Just Broken In – The Deck

I built a very simple deck-like bed frame for my futon mattress so I took that knowledge, bought a bunch of wood and headed up North to build a deck. I could not have been more out of my element and unprepared if I tried. A forest floor outside is nothing like a hardwood floor in your apartment. No real surprise there.

The first trip up was all about hauling the wood from where it was delivered to where it needed to be. We laid out the deck area and took stock of what it was that I bought.

The second trip up was lead by my good friend and mentor, Judy. She renovates houses for a living and has a personal relationship with everyone at her local Home Depot so needless to say the level of knowledge increased 100 fold. In one day, 6 of us, built one really beautiful deck.
