- Regarding her Daisychain ABCs Crewelwork Sampler Kit (above), Alicia Paulson says:
It is not hard, but it will keep you happy/busy for a while. That’s what embroidery is all about, for me. I think we all need quiet time in life to do pretty little things like this. I know I do.
- This mustard jamb is a clever solution to mismatched wood grain.
- Amy Poehler thanks the women that help her with her children.
- Bryn is using the same tile in her laundry room that we used in ours!
- Gabby and Jordan had a magical Easter. It’s so beautiful.
- Penelope’s Dino Brunch was really cute!
- I should have just gotten one of these belts instead of trying to get the effect on my “Happy Birthday!” banner (nope, still not done).
I also write for Babble’s Family Style blog. Here’s what I’ve been sharing there…
- Beautiful photos of Paris, on sale. Get ’em while you can, now through Sunday.
- Another party decoration idea that would have been much easier than my birthday banner to make. Sigh.
- Kids love play tents, but is it too much to ask that they come in some prettier options?
- I suppose it’s a little late for these now, but they’d still be cute for a special spring table.

I LOVE the framed stitched alphabet! I have for ages wanted to do a banner for my blog that is all stitched. The image you posted gives me good inspiration!

I’ve been seeing fringed tissue paper all over these days as a decorative element & I’m eating it up! Perhaps fringe is the new ruffle?
Thanks for featuring me on your honor roll! I’m grinning from ear to ear.

You could get a lovely, fun tipi: http://www.spearmintbaby.com/2011/01/childrens-tipis.html
I even saw a pattern for them at the craft store!

I agree about the tents. We had one up in our son’s room from IKEA but it only held up for a few months. Update us if you find some with style (gender neutral would be nice too)

Nicole, we used the same tile in our bathroom remodel too. I had no idea you used the hexagon pattern until we bought ours, we love it!!

Thanks for the reminder about the Little Brown Pen sale. Totally on my to-do list, I guess I am in denial that May 1 is almost here!
Also, thank you for always reading my mind and knowing exactly what I need. I have been dying to improve the art situation in my apartment, and charming photographs are absolutely called for. You’re the best!!!
