Yesterday was the three year anniversary of my boyfriend Chris and myself. Since we both love food, our gifts to each other usually involve edible things. I decided to make some of these mini pie pops that I saw on Luxaire not too long ago. Chris loves lots of different flavors, so I thought this would be the perfect thing to experiment. I had never made pie, or anything close, before. A visit to the Luxaire site will show you that there aren’t directions, so much as just photos. I decided to make my fillings from stratch. Somehow, through all of that, they came out divine. Proof they are easy as…pie.

Whoo hoo! A short piece I wrote about the fabulous architect and world-changer Eva Schone made it into the most recent issue of Austin local magazine Tribeza (the October 2009 issue). Check it out: Exposed: Eva Schone (page 23).

I’ve been pimping out my “Words” section, adding new articles I’ve written, new places I’ve been doing the writing at, as well as adding some favorite posts. Check it out if you get the chance! Words.

I find this color combination to be just lovely. As seen on Anh-minh.

I love, love, (one more) love afghans and quilts. This inspiring photo collection was put together over at Desire to Inspire.

Though, it’s already sold out.

No doubt you’ve surfed onto this blog from some other page, probably to look at awesome and cool design-y things (of which there are plenty). But while you’re here, be sure to check out everything else I do. See, I run an interior design consulting business, I’m a writer, I make really cool things and I do a lot of affordable pet sitting on the side. So before you get sucked into all the gorgeous photos I post each day, take a minute to peruse the tabs above this quick post.  If you have any questions, send me a tweet or an email!
