Hello, Goodbye
Friday, December 31, 2010
One of the hardest parts of moving was leaving our precious little home in Torrance. I spent the greater part of the year making it a home and loved every part of it. From the old windowsills to the fun little kitchen, the house has a charm of its own that was easy for me to adorn.
And although our little home will be greatly missed, I take with me the memories and look forward to more ventures and more little (and big) houses to decorate.
Holiday DIYness
Monday, December 20, 2010
Between moving, work and baby madness I haven't had much of a chance to decorate this Holiday season but I've managed to squeeze in a little creativity and even put up my version of a Christmas tree...
A couple weekends ago I spent an entire Sunday experimenting with felting (on which I was instantly hooked) and I made some Christmas ornaments for my little tree. I tied 3 sparkly branches together and stuck them in a tin bucket adorned with pine cones and voila, my tree was done. I wish I had more time to add a garland but oh well, there's always next year!
Even gifting is taking a back seat this year which is a bit more depressing since I enjoy wrapping so damn much so instead I will recycle a post I did for Pacsun Community last year on eco-friendly wrapping. I think this year if I was to wrap more presents I would definitely use felted balls and string. Clearly, it's a felted kind of Christmas.
And speaking of my new addiction, here is a Matryoshka doll I made for my friend. More to come!

Scored this tee from the beau and these leggings from the sample sale. I kind of love both.
I got this leather jacket from downtown L.A. last year and I've definitely gotten some use out of it. I hope the trend never dies.
Happy Weekend!
