my space

In my earlier post about what being 'everyday creative' means to me, I mentioned that I have an open work space where I can leave various projects out to work on.  I prefer to work in spurts and little bits, but sometimes will sit down for a good two hour stretch, although that's rare.

I also feel that creating in this way, in this space, will allow me to keep doing so once the little guy gets here.  I have a special project planned for him, that I will be sharing with you soon.

baby birdies.

there has been a nest perched up on top of the light right outside the entrance to my work for a few weeks now. we suspected there were eggs in there, as mama bird was always sitting on the nest. the other day as i was coming in i heard little tweet tweets and noticed mama was gone. i opened the door and they all popped their little heads up! mama is very watchful of her four babies from the nearby tree, where she looks for provisions to feed hungry little mouths :)

vintage recipe cards

i am not really sure where these originated, but i found them in my mother's cookbook cabinet and simply had to have them :) the top is the design on the box top and the other is the recipe card. i want to find more of these. if you know where i can let me know, until then thank goodness for color copies and cardstock!

huset.

i stumbled across this scandinavian shop the other day, from a link on the decor8 blog i believe. it is called huset and these are some of my favorites :)
