unruly things

dlb was playing the guitar like usual, and moose decided to come in for a closer listen. moose definitely got the front row seat for this show! :)
I hope everyone had a fun Valentine’s Day, attached or not. my belly is super full from all the delicious treats we indulged in…. now some final sips of my pink champagne garnished with a vanilla bean, then off to bed.

it’s always exciting to me to see my work in print. I work freelance as a t-shirt designer for a company called Daville Clothing. I have been working with the company for just under two years. these are three of the shirts that I designed currently for sale on the website, which should be completed soon! I’ll keep everyone posted as to when the site will be finished.
{I especially love my “unruly” shirt.}

today, indulge in chocolates, things that are pink, roses, candies, and love. my valentine and I are cooking an amazing dinner together full of fun food. we’re cooking dinner suedo tapas style with a petite filet migon, shiitake, gorgonzola, spinach, figs, garlic, apples, brie, rosemary, asparagus and pine nuts. {can we say, aphrodisiac?} happy valentine’s day to everyone!

stormy rain outside
gloomy. thunder and lightning.
I love the gray rain.

really! since Valentine’s Day is upon us, I thought I’d share a few pretty love related images that I found and like.

gray. gloomy. allergies. rain.

since I’m feeling a little under the weather today, and it’s raining outside, I thought I’d pay respect to one of my growing favorite colors, gray.

02. Celia bedding from Room & Board. {love love LOVE!} Room & Board is a great site by the way, which I just discovered. they have a really helpful design center on the site where you can get inspiration, and design ideas.

happy sunday to everyone. this is an old picture of me taken by dlb. I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing weekend. enjoy the last few hours of freedom and do something fun before we have to return to the mundane.

I’ve been searching for some spice containers for some time now, since most of the spices we have are purchased in bulk. I finally found some great ones, {$0.99 each!}, at Bed Bath and Beyond. very simple with white lids and glass containers, these things are great! I decided, with the help of a friend’s idea, to customize the labels myself. I was going to purchase mailing labels and write the spice names on by hand, but I thought these would be much cuter. plus, I get to use my polka dots! I’m simply smitten with my new spice collection. it makes the kitchen look so much cuter! it’s amazing the little things that make me smile. :)
