Happy Sunday, friends! Here are a few quick photos from Easter weekend. I hope you all were able to spend time with family and friends and enjoy the best part of Spring, all the blooms!
March Around The Web
I have decided that Spring is my favorite season. Every year around this time I feel so refreshed, despite the chaotic nature of this month which was filled with travel, family events, and a busy season at work. I think just being able to get outside more often really improves my mood, and all the sunny weather in New Orleans during our trip was especially nice. I also LOVE all the flowers that begin to peek out at the start of Spring. Coco Kelley's Romantic Floral Tutorial caught my attention this month — I adore the moodiness and how it perfectly captures the emotion of this season. Here are a few other favorites from the web this March:
I loved seeing Ken Sheldon's beautiful illustrations for Think.Make.Share. available on Designlovefest!
Such a simple DIY that I'm dying to try.
I'm often inspired by posts on Design Sponge, and these quotes were no exception.
This bow guide is so charming.
I finally got around to trying out this Roasted Chickpea recipe this week, it was delicious!
While I am loving my Productivity Planner, May Designs' new Folios have me considering ordering a few of their notebooks...
Waiting for an occasion to make this macaroon cake.
Dale and I are starting to ponder a Europe trip after he finishes school, Lisbon is high on my list!
Does anyone sleep on a silk pillowcase? It seems so luxurious (and great for your skin!).
Last weekend I saw Disney's new Beauty & The Beast movie and it was visually stunning. I am curious about the process of designing the sets and costumes.
Last, but not least, I just ordered a faux-collar from a talented Hallmarker, Cece. I choose the Peach Fern pattern.
Happy Spring, and enjoy your weekend!
TMS Yarn Monogram Workshop
I had SO much fun leading this yarn monogram workshop for Think.Make.Share.! Head over to the blog to read all about our process, and to see some amazing details from everyone's pieces. Hopefully you will find yourself inspired to create a monogram for your home!
Hello Spring
Welcome, Spring! I created this fun lettering/illustration for Think.Make.Share. Head on over to their Instagram for more wonderful artwork and glimpses into what it is like to work at Hallmark!
The Bloom Academy
Last Tuesday my mom and I attended our very first Bloom Academy workshop in KC! We learned how to create beautiful flower arrangements using floral from, and I couldn't be more obsessed with the vase. The ladies from The Hair Parlour were also there hosting a braid bar. We had such a great time, I can't wait to attend another workshop in the future! (Just Keep Going Print featured below by Ampersand Design Studio)
Snapshots
Happy Friday! I love photography, but have found I rarely spend the time taking pictures unless it is a special occasion like a trip. I hope that I can continue to share some snapshots from the more mundane details of my life because I find they are an interesting reflection of the present moment. Valentine's Day is on Sunday so I arrived home on Wednesday night to beautiful flowers, and I am loving my new "OK" vase from Oh Joy's Target collection. Other details include Otto (plus his constant ability to interrupt any activity), The Five-Minute Journal, and an adorable llama I bought at Renegade Chicago. Enjoy!
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. —Mark Twain
