Happy New Year (2014)

2013 was a year an exciting year. When my corporate position position was eliminated, I panicked and I immediately started to search for another position. Getting a new job should have been easy, After all, corporations should be clamoring for a person with my qualifications - but what I found out is this. When you are in the online marketing space, you need to compete with the 20 somethings who are willing to offer their service for free. Well as they say, When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, so that is what I did. You see, during my down...

Coastal Pillows

This summer, I had several visitors from out of state and the number 1 request of each visitor was "can we go to the beach?" and naturally each time my response was YES! I had a treat for my cousins when they visited - I took them to see the Florida sea turtles hatch and make their way to the sea. Everyone should have this event on their bucket list. The hatchelings break out of their shells and thrash about together causing the walls of the nest to collapse and the bottom of the hole to rise. Once near the...

Nautical by Nature - Summer Pillow Project

I live 1 block from the beach and although I am grateful for what some people think is an excellent location, I am a tiny bit envious of my neighbors who has the beach in their back yards. This summer I have decided to remedy the situation by bringing the beach inside. To that end, I have designed some nautical themed graphic pillows inspired by my coastal surroundings.

I drive by it every day - it has become the backdrop to my life....

Another Pillow Project

My friend visited Sierra Leone last year and upon his return, he presented me with some beautiful pieces of brilliantly colored fabrics. One piece immediately caught my eye. It's a bold green, yellow, orange and beige stripe fabric with gold accents. It was perfect for my semi annual couch update. [caption id="attachment_1301" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Gold Striped Accent Pillow[/caption] I made two 20" x 20" pillows covers and used them with existing feather inserts.

Blooms from my garden

I wanted to add some color to my patio garden so I went to my favorite nursery to pick up some inexpensive foliage. The Alcea Rosea Chaters Double Yellow immediately caught my eyes. [caption id="attachment_1194" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="Alcea rosea"][/caption] I hope that I can keep this plant alive - at least until the end of summer. They are inexpensive, so if it falls victim to my brown thumb, I will just pick up another. Maybe next time I will get the pink. [caption id="attachment_1197" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="Mezoo plant"][/caption] I am a bit more confident about my Mezoo plant - at...
