it's in the bag

I recently created these one-of-a-kind knit/crochet bags, inspired by my recent work travels and upcoming beach trip. The purple and yellow bags pictured below were knit with a seamless technique, from an unusual paper yarn that I purchased while in Asheville. They are surprisingly sturdy, soft, and washable. Pretty cool. The coral bag was made with super soft and durable cotton, and is my first piece that combines knit and crochet. All three will be hitting the shop this week...

i have always loved birch trees

I just ordered these birch tree decals for Henry's room! I can't wait to put them up. Henry and I will be so happy in our new home. :)

exciting things are happening everywhere you look

We got the apartment! I will have the keys in my hand in exactly two weeks, and I couldn't be happier. I am already working on selecting paint colors, and building wish lists all over the internet. After living in a cramped space for the last year, it will be a huge relief to have room to spare. Henry will finally have his own bedroom, and we'll have an office/knitting room, too. I can't wait to move and get settled...

On a completely different but no less exciting note, the Etsy treasury features keep flowing in. I haven't mentioned them recently, so I wanted to post some here today. Check out more of them here.

new apartment coming soon!

It's almost time to move! We're on the waitlist for a huge apartment, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for it. I'm already starting to daydream of all the things I want to do/buy once we move in, which has led to this eclectic Etsy treasury. Check it out here.

work travels

My job has been sending me down to Asheville, North Carolina quite a bit recently. I usually drive down by myself, but I took mom and Henry with me last time. Even though I was working, it felt like a mini-vacation with a free hotel, lots of delicious food, and fun outings with two of my favorite people. Asheville is an adorable little town, filled with funky art, cute boutiques, and endless restaurants. Below are a few highlights captured with my Blackberry. Check out Henry eating sushi for the first time!!!
