Marisa Haskell Fauna Cuff trio. I wear mine everyday.

Rhubarb. I made this Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp with Cardamom and Nutmeg awhile back which got rave reviews. The Rhubarb Upside Down Cake (photo above by Todd Coleman) looks super tasty.

This white top. Perfect for summer, right?

Season 2 of Call the Midwife, streaming now on PBS.

This light-weight cotton maternity tank dress.

These gorgeous Rifle Paper Co. iPhone cases.

The very adorable woodland creature mask kits at Papersource. Seen here on Stella (the squirrel) and her friends Ari (the fox) and Calder (the reindeer).

weekend pics

"Unstoppable" at Boot and Shoe Service on Saturday night.

My parents took Stella for a ride on the carousel at Tilden Park. I love her smile in this picture. Half excited, half terrified.

A morning cup of Ritual coffee in one of my favorite Marimekko mugs.

I made a delicious country apple galette with apples from my mom's tree.

I embarked on a new sewing project: a pillow case and duvet cover for Stella's new toddler bed. Here's the adorable fabric I'm using for the pillow case. Sweet, right?

felt flag garlands

My friend Devon (a super talented illustrator) totally inspired me this weekend with all of her crafty talk. She's in the process of making her son Ari a teepee for his room. And she's making him a wolf costume for Halloween (Stella is going to be Little Red Riding Hood). I was bemoaning the lack of make in my life of late. At the end of the day I'm so exhausted from running after/entertaining/talking to Stella that I rarely want to make anything except something to eat before falling into bed.

Since I'm hosting a beer party/baby shower for my friend Andie in a few weeks I decided it was high time I make something. 

I've wanted to make felt garlands for Stella's room since before she was born, so I figured why not make festive flags for the party and then hang them in Stella's room after...

So there. I made something.
