life in creams, greys and pinks

Oh and some plaid…

Our girl is somewhere out east on a train home to us, we have been busily tiding up, running about and preparing for her and the holidays. Lately I’ve been finding my peace in trying to make anything and everything, like a one off zip pouch because I’m currently obsessed with clear vinyl or weaving crazy chalklegs tartan plaid potholders, using up all the bits and half balls from way down deep, just so I can feel less guilty about adding beauty to my stash. Today I’m all about baby goat face selfies and researching overnight oats. I don’t always know what to write or bother with captions, awkward silences are my life :) I can’t seem to take myself seriously enough to think anybody cares, so that usually leads to major spreads between posts. In reality, I am a total bore who likes to take pictures of stuff and sometimes talk about things I love. When the words or images aren’t there, know my heart felt appreciation is, thank you for taking the time to visit and for putting up with my weirdo. ♥

let me just say..

Mostly I’m a well organized mess. (gosh I love that pink lead holder)

A bag for everything and everything in its bag, sometimes even small ones in slightly larger ones.

Personal goal to use up all the scrappy bits .. first a little cashmere,

then a little wool, next a bit more cashmere, more wool and now we’re at alpaca in liquid makeup shade 0.5, you know how it is.

Lost an afternoon building a cotton NINETEEN HUNDRED HOUSE dishcloth, well done.

Still a perpetual hat maker who rarely wears hats, but falls deeply for the details and decreases.

I’ve been feeling uninspired (you might have noticed the makes all have been things I’ve made a million times over, basically my fallback type of projects, because makers gonna make) so in an effort to force inspiration, I rearranged my upstairs art room/studio (broke my ass) and realized I will never have that sparse minimalist all white IKEA plant filled creative space I see everywhere online and thought …maybe? No, pairing down is not my thing, thank you.

I’m just a little magpie .. part random collector .. part junk drawer
