A Creative Log & Other Notes on Life
From the monthly archives:
Here’s another one of my failed attempts to introduce 80’s fashion to my kids. I was so disappointed, it’s taken me nine months to post about it. Finding a pair of boys acid-wash overalls made me a little nostalgic. I quickly turned them into a RAD girls skirtall. I knew it wasn’t going to end […]

Another birthday and another great little money cuff made from the tutorial at A Lemon Squeezy Home. This one was made from thrifted sheet scraps and a cool, old, green metal zipper. And since our little friend was turning 6, the money cuff came pre-stuffed with $6.

After running a few months in my Vibrams, easing them slowly into my running routine, I realized I needed to get rid of my old running shoes. I’ve been working hard to change from a heel strike to a forefoot/midfoot strike (I’ve got the sore calves to prove it), but every time I laced up […]
