Life Recently

I’ll be honest, I haven’t been the best about taking photos of my daily life since we’ve gotten back from Paris. For one thing I took thousands of pictures while we were there, and my trigger finger just might need the tiniest of breaks. Second, everything feels kind of “meh” in comparison. I think I’ve

Sew Caroline Waterfall Tank

I was lucky enough to be offered the chance to be a pattern tester for the upcoming Sew Caroline pattern, the waterfall tank! Full disclaimer I was offered the pattern for free in exchange for feedback to improve and test the pattern before final release. I was not paid to create this garment, and the

Paris: Sacré-Cœur

The first sight we saw was the closest to our little Paris Apartment, Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. We went bright and early around 9:30 to beat the crowds. We had learned the day before when we were looking for some place to eat that this place gets crazy crowded just after lunch. So we hiked the what

Since baking is a science, it doesn’t always work out when you are a culinary free spirit so to speak. My sister, a literal rocket scientist at NASA is a great baker. But since I didn’t have

Summer Sewing Plans!

So I’ve been kind of lax on sewing lately. Sometimes you’ve got the bug to stitch, other times you don’t. Summer has always been a big sewing time for me! Nothing better than stitching up sundress and floaty tops. I thought I’d share what I’m itching to stitch these next couple months.  First up, the

Fabric Shopping in Montmarte, Paris

Fabric Shopping in Paris is very different than what I’m used to here in the states. I went on a Saturday morning after a somewhat lengthy cafe sit. Within a few minutes of getting to the shops at the base of Sacré-Cœur, the markets were slammed. I thought I would share helpful tips I picked up

Jet lag.

So I’m back in the states after two blissful weeks in Paris. I’ve got a lot of photos to sort through, including a post on buying fabric in Paris! I’m also sick as a dog, I think I caught the bug our airbnb host had at checkout. The combination of being sick and jet lag

What to do in Cincinnati this weekend!

I highly recommend you guys check out this production by concert nova! I’ve been to a few of their performances and they are highly enjoyable.

Bonjour from paris!

Sorry for the radio silence but I’ve been enjoying Paris in the spring. I’ll be back next week and will catch up on any comments that need replied to in the meantime! A tout alors!
