The end of February

Diposting oleh fawaid on Senin, 28 Februari 2011

Today, February 28th, marks my emotional end of winter. Sure March and even April can be misery to the extreme but for now, I'm rejoicing in rain. Real, proper, flood your house when you leave the windows open even in February rain. Yes, I do. (Heating be damned.)
Winter has been treating me better than even my seasonal affective disorder could have hoped for. Begonia's bloomed and I've been downing 3 shot lattes twice daily thanks to theee most useful christmas present ever gifted by a human. A week ago a surprise heart appeared in my morning foam. A sign? I'll take it.

Tweet up/Meet up

Diposting oleh fawaid

The fun thing about living in Utah is there is LOTS of ladies who blog and run their own businesses. I have connected with several through Twitter and at a different events. After so many events always being held "south" of where I live I put it out there on Twitter that we needed a "meet up" event for all of us "northern" utah gals. And that's all it took. After collaborating with Paige from Where Women Create we tweeted and invited several ladies to join us for lunch and a tour of the Where Women Create office. (insert my giddy-ness here)

It was a very fun group of talented and creative ladies. 
Here's the run down - from front to back

 I have so many pictures I could share but I will spare you most ;) 

The tour of the Where Women Create office was fabulous. There are so many fun things to see and look through. A feast for the camera! 



Even left with a little swag bag! Thank you again Jo and Paige

And I'm all for meeting up again! would love to meet those that couldn't make it....

A eulogy for ranunculus

Diposting oleh fawaid on Minggu, 27 Februari 2011

Any florist worth her salt could talk about dying flowers for days. We all pretty much do anyways, because flowers are at their most intoxicatingly potent a day after their prime. The painterly bend, the crinkle, the fade. Flower drunk- most of us girls have been there. It's almost to the point of trite to talk about the ephemeral beauty of these things but watching a flower open, then open more, then open so wide its petals have nowhere to go but backwards is basically everything.
I've developed a habit of buying non-work flowers for my apartment. Shoved willy-nilly in an old vase, no fussing with frogs or foam or even making proper arrangements. It feels almost embarrassingly decadent, even more so because I'm such a proponent of others having flowers in their homes.  Finally practicing what I preach? For the sake of genuine floral authenticity, my dedication knows no bounds.

The Luck of the Irish....

Diposting oleh fawaid on Kamis, 24 Februari 2011

I think it's hard to find and decorate for St. Patrick's day in a style that fits mine. If I even decorate at all! But adding a splash of green into the dull-drums of winter is a good thing! Maybe it will help Spring come faster. 

How do you decorate for St. Patrick's day? 

I created these pillows last year for the holiday. A fun play on "decorating" for the holiday in a style that was mine and having a bit of fun at the same time. 



You can make some too with my tutorial OR download the free ebook over all All Sewing.com!

Projects and Procrastination

Diposting oleh fawaid on Senin, 21 Februari 2011

It's funny how events in our lives can finally get us do something we have been putting off and putting off. 

I bought these 2 pillows from the $1 store weeks ago. I knew I wanted to recover them and add to them THIS chair


I had the fabric. I just didn't TAKE the time and then my sewing machine broke. 

BUT like I said, events come into our lives and it gives a kick start or a kick in the behind (wink) and this project got completed. 
Just a quick cover but they add so much to this piece.

What have you been working on lately?

Visiting the Met

Diposting oleh fawaid on Minggu, 20 Februari 2011

Generally relegated to my annual trip above 59th street or as a backdrop for sweet but awkward dates, the Met is my one that got away. I've lived here for 9 years now and I'm sure I haven't been in as many times. Since my 9-5 life faded to black in September, I've been wanting to go for an afternoon but nothing is as easy to put off as 3 hours of getting lost in thought uptown. I finally went in search of inspiration of the floral variety, found some, ate a macaroon and pondered the peculiars of solo museum scouting.

Changing out of one's slobby real-life clothes is a necessity. The Met is packed with out-of-towners, so a little extra eccentric goes a long way in keeping you and the camera clobbering masses apart, never mind the fact that you are also camera clobbering and just as prone to wearing ripped jeans.  A lady doesn't pay the full suggested admission but she doesn't pay a quarter, either. While you're at it, if you're going to be walking on fancy floors, you might as well wear fancy shoes. A hat works wonders as does wandering aimlessly. I stayed until a handsome security guard needed to escort me out of the visual storage section and then stumbled to the subway through central park, eyes glazed over in an unmistakable painting coma. It was delicious.
