In the beginning of July, Daniel and I headed out with friends from church to attend the annual congregational get together at the Episcopal campground that borders the George Washington National Forest. It's taken me forever to get to posting these, because on the way there, our car broke down (RIP) and the rest of … Continue reading shrinemont weekend ’14

instaround
I know I spend a lot of time talking about the weather, but the weather is so wonky! 54 yesterday and 26 today? But I'm enjoying my days for the most part; having instagram makes it easier for me to keep track of the little things that make each day special: a beautiful sunset, homemade … Continue reading instaround
what can be found
Tomorrow morning before we depart, I intend to land and see what can be found in the neighborhood. -Christopher Columbus It's remarkable that every time I take my camera out for a walk around the neighborhood, it manages to surprise me.

There's no dishwasher, which I can deal with, but the lack of counter space can make it difficult to tackle basic kitchen tasks and previous tenants have added an … Continue reading home tour: The Kitchen
home tour: The Craft Room
The craft room has technically been as finished as it's going to get for at least a month, but I've been so busy stocking my shop and sewing that it's always a mess. I cleaned it up just for this home tour. This is the space that's solely mine in the house. I gave Daniel … Continue reading home tour: The Craft Room
