Over the past few weeks I have been purging and cleaning like crazy in the house. It all started because…wait for it…I lost my camera remote, and have been driving myself crazy trying to find it. So because of that, I have turned every room upside down, purged unwanted things and reorganized. My office has got to be the most satisfying, since I spend a lot of time in here (and it’s teeny, so when it’s messy it’s overwhelming). I’m pretty sure the best recent organizational addition is my neat-o thread holder on the wall that I made from an old picture frame. How cute is that? I think that colour of green is also my new favourite colour.



I dumped out all my drawers and sorted them, and still didn’t find my remote. *drrrrr*. Just going to have to suck it up and buy a new one (and when I do, I’m sure I’ll find the old one in a random place.)

PS: How amazing is this little owl pen holder? I found it at the thrift store for 30cents. Yes!

Some of you may know that for the last few years I have had a job on the side working with flowers and plants. Somehow, despite never really trying to work in the floral industry…I have always ended up in it. Lately I’ve been eyeing these little 2″ succulents at work and wanting to take them home with me. Finally after finding the right pots for my..er..vision…I took a couple home and made a little garden. It’s funny how such a little thing like a plant can make you happy. But the best part about these plants? Bigsby is totally uninterested in eating them.
Unlike this poor soul that he devoured a few years back.
Sad face.

First of all…this is my second blog post of today. What is going on?
I must really be on the ball.
Here’s a little glimpse into my day, a la Bleubird Vintage.
The day started off like this.
Which turned into this.
And eventually, this. (x2)

I may be the only person on the planet that really enjoys making the bed. There’s nothing better than sliding into a nicely made bed after a long day.
Bigsby likes to make sure I made the bed well. After all, it’s where he sleeps all afternoon.
Tried a new technique for loose curls. Worked well.
My office has been seriously neglected since the week of Dave’s birthday. I had to tackle this room today, otherwise I would be incapable of working in it when it’s like this.


Ahhh…that’s better. (I also totally reorganized the books in our living room and in my office, and freed up a whole bunch of space. It felt good.)


I also moved my vintage cameras and a few of my old clocks onto the wall shelf and made a little display. I like.
And then I found this…erm…charming little flower pot…

…And turned it into this much less obnoxious flower pot.

Lunch was leftover pad thai. Om nom nom.

Worked on music arrangements for my jazz set. Thankfully, (as much as I love playing piano) I am not actually playing piano in the set. Just focusing on voice.


Someone was not too pleased that I woke him up by playing (*erm…LOUD*) Duke Ellington. Look at that face.
Worked on a sketch for a dress I’m making in a little bit. I have decided against the yellow though (sad face) as I can’t seem to find a yellow fabric that I like. (It will be sea-foam green instead)

Thursday dinner at the parents. They were taking care of some munchkins. (“Me want your watching mine run so, so fast!” Is the first thing she said to me. I love toddler grammar.)


“…By the liiiight…of the silvery iPad….”

And lastly…finished the evening with some fresh nail polish…

And a cup ‘o chamomile.
