problem: i have cold toes but love wearing shorts to work in at home.

concern: socks + shorts = not the cutest (or sexiest) look.

answer: cute handmade socks, of course!

cold toes? have no fear, beautiful handmade socks are here!

hello lovelies! a few weeks ago i asked for your opinion over on facebook and instagram on which of my patterns i should use on a new iphone case. well the votes came in and so did my new iphone case! i ordered it using casemate’s custom option and couldn’t be happier with the quality and fit for my new phone.

i especially think it makes it pretty from the front- just a little bit of brightly colored poppies spilling over the sides!

interested in getting the same case? this friday (10/19) i’ll be sending out the exact file i used to make my own case to the roost tribe. you can find out more information and learn how to join here!

i’ve been oohing and ahhing over these crocheted circle placemats ever since i saw them on domestic peacock. though they remind me of a dottie angel project, the pattern actually comes from another favorite blog, the purl bee. i want to place them on an old worn-in table made of barn wood, adorned with a modern and sleek white table setting- the center of which will be filled vintage milk glass vases and yellow daisies.

attention, knitters! will you make me one of these? ;)

we’ve all seen one fabulous puffy pouf after another, but their beauty and functionality seem to always be accompanied by a hefty price tag. well, if you know how to knit, this pouf pattern from pickles will have you making knitted stools in no time. while you’re there, make sure to check out their lovely yarn and buttons, too!
