Aren't these adorable? I think they would look lovely on the wall of a little girl's room! I love that she incorporates vintage fabrics and that each piece is perfectly "imperfect"...you know what I mean? Check out more from the Little Tea Wagon shop by clicking here!
I've been a longtime fan of Three Red Apples, an Etsy shop based out of Devon, England. Annabelle's unique style is infused into embroidery pieces, pillows and more! I love how she styles her shop photos, too. Check out her shop, here!
I don't think I've told anyone this before.
Seven years ago,a few weeks after our son was born, when Jason and I were both exausted from multiple nightly feedings, I found myself half falling asleep sitting in the rocking chair in the corner of our room, knowing that despite being so very tired, someday I'd give anything to be in the same position again.
Wow. Run-on sentence, much?
So, I closed my eyes and tried to take in everything about those quiet minutes as I could. The way the rocking chair creaked ever so slightly, the sound of the quiet, the smell of our new baby's hair, the way he felt in my arms, the peaceful, innocent disposition he had...
And you know what?
Seven years later, those moments are still so vivid in my mind. Capturing that time with my little boy and tucking it away in my sensory file was one of the best gifts I've ever given myself.
So, if you find yourself in a happy moment with a loved one, close your eyes and capture it. Years later, you'll be thankful you did.

Gosh, it's been practically forever since I've blogged...or tweeted for that matter. Between crazy-busy work, family trips, a funeral + a loved one undergoing a few surgeries, blogging has been the last thing on my mind. I did manage to do a few creative projects this past weekend, though! They're hanging on the wall of my office.
Sometimes, when I feel blah and the hustle and bustle of life threatens to infringe on creative thinking, I'll go to Flickr, type in "embroidery" and check out a couple of pages of the most recent projects. It helps.
That's where I found this gorgeous patchwork pillow by Louise Pappas. Click the photo to check out more of her talent on her blog! I just love her style.
What do you do for a quick creative pick-me-up?
