  Spring is my favorite season, I’ve decided. The weather, the idea of a fresh start, nature blooming, the lengthening days, all the outdoor activities happening…it’s fantastic. I only wish it would last longer here before the oppressive heat sets in. Anyway, here are some things I’m loving lately. Joy the Baker podcast – I’m late to this, because it’s been running for a couple of years now. But when I listen I feel like I’m just chatting with two awesome friends. It’s perfect on my commute. Anyone know of any other podcasts that are similar? Old Navy vintage tees – I have these in four colors, but I need to get them all. They are cheap, soft, comfortable, cute,…

I took a decent amount of photos so for the journal and extras I kept it pretty neutral.

I finally got these framed so I can share! I finished this project months and months ago. It’s from Cross Stitcher magazine and was meant to be pillows but I wanted to frame it because I am not advanced enough to make pillows nor do I really want needlepoint pillows. Did you know that it is not very easy to find square frames, especially 12×12 ones? I had to order these from Amazon and then get custom mats cut. It is hard to tell from this photo (and I apologize for the glare, it was impossible to avoid) but the frames are a dark mocha, not black. I am very happy with them and how the modern clean lines contrast with…
