In today’s day and age we are constantly moving so quickly. We are used to things loading faster, making quick dating decisions and driving fast towards a red light. Most of the time people are not even paying attention to what they are doing, they are just on auto pilot and doing it. There is a constant “missing out” that is happening day by day because people are not always paying attention.
Read MoreI always love to have something fun on my bag or on my keys. I bought a loome tool a few years ago and I love everything you can make with them. They are seriously so versatile. One thing I love to make is their Wild Tassel and I love to stack them and put them everywhere! To start choose 3 colors that you think will look good together, follow these instructions and make a tassel.
Read MoreI recently bought a lot of new pans, including heart shaped cake and cupcake pans and I have been really excited to use them!

Read MoreEach year, I often sew up a few hearts and put them in all of KCs gifts each year (we now have a collection) or I have a bunch of paper hearts that I slip into his bag as he leaves. I also really like to make valentines for my friends and co workers each year, so I thought what a fun idea to make valentine’s that emulated these candies but were also pins!
Read MoreHappy Wednesday! This week I will be spending plenty of time in the studio making art and getting on the right track for this residency. I cannot believe January went so fast but also felt like it moved like a snail. I am welcoming February with open arms!
Read MoreHappy Wednesday! This week is quite exciting because we are pet sitting a cat! His name is Fig and he is totally still a baby but not a kitten, at least I don’t think. He is very fun snugly, loves going under our bed and enjoys eating club crackers which is great because I do too! We are excited to have a pet for the week because KC and I have never had a pet together before!

Read MoreRecently at work we had a client who was obsessed with loom knitting hats. She was making them super fast and they looked like hats you would buy from the store. Quickly we all became very interested in making these hats. We all bought looms and were discussing yarns daily. Soon our office basically became a factor for hat making. Now that is is getting quite cold out I felt it necessary to make a DIY on how to make one of these hats!
Read MoreHappy Wednesday! This week is a very exciting week for me and KC. We are indeed that couple that celebrates every month of dating, even after its been 7 years! It can get exhausting to celebrate every month with something extravagant so most of the time we just like to keep it low key. We did not do anything really crazy for our 7 year anniversary so we are thinking that we may go get some pizza and go bowling. Bowling is something we love more than anything and we like to go as often as we can. We also may go see a movie because we have not seen a movie in quite some time and there are some good ones out now. I am excited to just have some extra special time in the week with KC because we do not always get that with the work week.
Read MoreHave you ever had a pillow in your house that you loved but it just did not look right anymore? Maybe it got all flattened at or the color started fading. You know you have to get rid of it but you love it so much you struggle to get rid of it because you love it so. Or maybe you have no pillows on your couch or you bed and you need more?
Read MoreI am looking forward to spending some quality sibling time together. We will be in the suburbs of New York and so there is not always a lot to do. We plan to go see a movie, watch our younger brother play basketball and maybe go get our nails done! There will also be time spent with the whole family re- celebrating Christmas at my house. I am very excited to wear my Christmas pajamas again!

Read MoreI love candles!! Honestly if I could give all my money over to candles I would 100% do it, they just make spaces feel so much more cozy! Considering that that is not at all in my budget, I decided to give candle making a try that way I can have handmade cozyness at anytime I wanted. At first I was hesitant to try it but as it turns out, candle making is quite easy and so much fun. This could be something you and your kids could do! I promise once you make a candle you’ll never buy another one again.

Read MoreI recognized that the process was going to be hard for me to complete in a studio apartment. I was worried that the experience would be dangerous, to say the least I was very intimidated. That is until I was walking down the isles of Michael’s Craft Store and saw melt- and- pour soap bases. I read the label and say that you can literally heat this up in the microwave (or on the stove top). Once it is heated you can then add whatever ingredients you want and customize your soap bars to be the most like you! Making soap this way, is totally something I can get on board with.

There were plenty of times that I was in my kitchen with my friends and made lip balm that I would send them home with when they left.
