Custom Order: Rain Screen Cover
In my line of work, there are no patterns – just fabric, math, and a whole lot of creativity 😉 This is a custom order I invented for a client. He had a problem and I made a solution. See, one side of his screened-in porch would get wet during San Diego’s rainy season...
Delish!
Happy Monday, y’all! Did you have a good weekend? I know I sure did. I felt uber productive crossing off some of the many creative projects I have on my list. Heck, I even managed to hang some pretty tricky décor. See, I found these brass-plated iron grid letters a...
The Comedy Store
Okay, so me & D had the BEST date night this weekend! Where did we go? I am happy you asked! On Saturday night, we drove down to The Comedy Store in La Jolla and it was the absolute most H-I-LARIOUS time! The entertainment included Benji Aflalo, Natasha Leggero,...

A Trio More
I have a feeling this is going to happen each and every year: additional tree adornments! See, I started cleaning up “Santa’s Little Workshop” yesterday [that’s what D calls my holiday explosion of crafts] and ran across these cardboard ornaments I had purchased. So,...
Before & After: The Twins
Have you ever cried over a job before? Now be honest 😉 as I’m sure you have! Well, confession or not, this project [below] has caused me quite a few tears. Yep, this pair might have [actually] been too much for me, BUT I survived and I guess that’s what truly...
Beaded Copper Garland
I believe anyone who has ever decorated a tree for the holidays recognizes the need for garland. It just makes it look complete. So this past summer as I was wondering the aisles of Home Depot, I stumbled across these copper couplings [and you guessed it] my mind went...
Napa Valley: Turkey-Lurkey Friendsgiving
Ever since my move to San Diego four [short] years ago, I have made the ultimate Thanksgiving feast: Maple-Glazed Turkey Apple Cider Gravy Toasted Cornbread, Bacon, & Chestnut Stuffing Golden Potato Mash Cauliflower Soup Green Bean Casserole Cranberry-Orange Sauce...
