She is excited about it, but I can’t stop watching old baby videos and poring over pictures… Continue reading Mini Ogden Cami, a Belated Birthday Dress for my Girl
Ikat Willamette Shirt
Give me all the cropped shirts for summer! Ok, this one isn’t extremely cropped, but close enough to cropped for this Mama of 2. You guys, it’s finally summer! And while it will be too hot for jeans, white or not, in about 2 seconds here in VA, I think they look pretty awesome with… Continue reading Ikat Willamette Shirt
Watson Bra Test Run
So, I made a bra! I’ll be the first to admit that it looks a little bit like a training bra, and I’m ok with it. That’s what happens when you don’t have much to fill it with. I’m lovingly calling it my I.B.T.H. (You can figure that one out for yourself, or look it… Continue reading Watson Bra Test Run

Lou Box Top + Rumi Pullover= Perfection
Ok, maybe perfection is going a step too far. Or maybe not. I love this top! It is my new favorite top and I’m so glad I made it!

The Zadie Dress and some thoughts on style
Recently I’ve had a series of ridiculous events, resulting in my falling down. Outside. Like a toddler. Seriously. Last week I was finishing up a quick 4 mile run with a friend, where I proceeded to fall down at mile 3.99. Seriously, arms spread, knee scraping, chin banging fall. I had already fallen down two… Continue reading The Zadie Dress and some thoughts on style
