Hey Everyone! I just wanted to take a minute to give you the recipe for my Grandma's Cinnamon Rolls. These are THE BEST.

Happy Holidays!

Wes Anderson Week

Hello all! Last week one of my BFF's and I decided to stage an impromptu themed movie week: we chose the films of Wes Anderson for this go around and I think we will be coming up with several more movie weeks to come! If you follow me on instagram I am sure you saw most of my daily Wes Anderson films.

I thought I'd share the Wes Anderson spirit by showing off some of my most favorite Wes Anderson movie themed Etsy finds!

This sticker from PonjaHija is super cute. It would make a great little pick me up for not only the Wes Anderson fan in your life, but the cat lover as well.

The Royal Tenenbaums is in my top 3 all time Wes Anderson films and I just love this poster of Margot and Richie from BagApart. It may be finding its way to my house soon.

Show that you too are a member of Team Zissou with this nifty custom bracelet from EcelecticredsDallas.

Last but not least, celebrate young love with Sam and Suzy from Moonrise Kingdom! This mug features a super cute illustration and I think it might be a great holiday gift for some people on my list.

Have you seen any good movies lately?

Transferring Embroidery patterns

Long time no see! Life has been crazy, and for those of you that don't follow me on facebook, you might have missed my Tuts+ post on methods of embroidery pattern transfer. Head on over and check it out, I'm going to try to get back to blogging again soon. Owning a house really takes up the free time :)

What projects have you all been up to lately??

New Boutonniere Tutorial on Tuts+

Hey everyone! I forgot to mention that I have a new tutorial up on Tuts+! It is for this lovely Camelia boutonniere and includes the pattern for creating the paper flower. Head on over and check it out, let me know what you think.

Perfect for a winter wedding or formal, no?

Bathroom Remodel

I feel like I haven't blogged in forever! The new house is coming along (it feels like a very slow process, but many people have told the hus and I that they are shocked by how much we have done already since buying our home in July).

If you follow me on Instagram you have likely already seen much of the progress we have made, but I thought I'd share some peeks of our bathroom (still in progress).

Here is the bathroom floor before we tore it up and laid down new hex tiles. Gorgeous, right?

Here is the floor about half done. Alreadya huge improvement.

Here is the progress from this past weekend. We took out the grimy old fiberglass tub surround and laid new ceramic subway tiles (tiling was definitely easier the second time around, but I don't know how anyone can do this as a job--my most heartfelt respect to anyone in this line of work).

This weekend we hope to paint the bathroom, caulk everything and install the new baseboards. Then I'll have a nice new bathroom, and I can't wait to take some nice final photos to show you all!

Are any of you working on home improvement projects? I'd love to hear what you are working on and if you have any tips or insights!

Jazz Up Your Embroidery

If you've taken a peek at my Embroidery Stitch Library you may be ready to take your stitching to the next level. I have a post on different types of thread up today at Tuts+, go check it out and start experimenting!

The new house is still shaping up slowly, and I hope to have a "before" tour ready to share with you all sometime soon. There are a LOT of projects on the horizon, so thank you all for bearing with me in this hectic post-move time. I can't wait to share projects as well as some tips and tricks I've been picking up!

Home Sweet Home

Screen Printed Pillows from EarthCadets

Hey everyone! I know it's been awhile, but that is because.. we bought a house! Well, we are still in the process, but we are buying a house and it has been time consuming to say the least. Fear not, once the moving is done and the dust has settled I'll be sharing all kinds of new craft projects and home DIYs with you. Until then, enjoy these cute "Home Sweet Home" themed prints and decor items from Etsy sellers!
