Hexagon and Honeycomb

    In color, neutrals or black & white…you can find hexagons everywhere right now.  They add a touch of geometry to home decor, jewelry, kitchen essentials, nearly everything – and I’m nothing if not a math nerd.  They create amazing tessellations, and can incorporate triangles and diamonds in crazy ways.  However, the random repetition of hexagons is my favorite way to incorporate them into design.  I’m a pretty random person after all.  Here are some of the 18 billion ways hexagons and honeycomb patterns are showing up in designs I love.   Sources {clockwise}: Shelves, Mirrors, Wall Art, Wall … Continue reading →

Anthropologie window

For Mother’s Day my husband gave me so much – flowers, a clean house {while I shopped at Target}, an amazing vegan lunch at one of my favorite restaurants, a visit to Powell’s and some very well behaved kids.  It was fabulous.  I felt loved and taken care of and special.  He knew just what I wanted. On top of all of that, he also gave be another amazing thing:  Anthropologie without any kids.  That’s right.  No one to ask me to leave, no one to almost break a $150 ceramic animal head, no one to try to jump on … Continue reading →

rummer's story Boston Marathon

Today we continue with Part Two of Holly’s story of running the Boston Marathon this year.  If you missed Part One, click here to get caught up.     I finally made it back to our hotel, embraced my roomies, shed a few tears and sat in front of the TV stunned.  What just happened?  My mind and my body were in shock.  Complete and utter shock.  We couldn’t get away, though, because our hotel backed up to Massachusetts General Hospital, where many of the victims were taken so the parade of ambulances outside our window didn’t allow for a … Continue reading →

best mother's day gifts

Let’s face it, if you don’t know by now what you are getting your loved one for Mother’s Day, you are late.  Very, very late.  {Don’t believe me?  Read THIS.} Yes, I’m talking to you. It’s ok, it happens.  Well…it’s ok as long as you fix this egregious error. The problem with most last minute “Oh crap, I forgot to get her something!” gifts is that they are cliche and generic and boring and state in a very obvious way, “Oh crap, I forgot to get you something!” That’s where I come in.  Below is my list of 5 super … Continue reading →

rummer's story Boston Marathon

  Many of you know that my sister, Holly, ran the Boston Marathon this year.  4-15-13.  Her experience at the race has marked her life.  Returning to life as usual has been difficult for everyone who experienced this tragedy, and it is no different for Holly.   Our stories are powerful and sometimes just giving words to our experiences can begin to heal our wounds and lift our burdens.   In an effort to heal and find some kind of closure she asked me if she could tell her story here. ______________________________________________________________________________     Although the terrorist attack in Boston is not … Continue reading →

Uzzah and the Ark of the Covenant

My husband and I are in a season of life right now where we are being asked to wait.  We want things to happen, but God says wait.  Our timetable and God’s timetable are not in sync.  And Yahweh has made it absolutely clear that we are not to meddle or push or try and make things happen faster. Have you been there? The waiting game is so hard for us humans who desperately want to be in control.  We want to hurry things along and know where the finish line is. I’ve said so many times throughout our waiting … Continue reading →

Mandi, Brooke and I at SNAP!

Wow. The month of April just flew by. I can’t believe tomorrow it’s May already and I haven’t even really processed April. I mean, I spent four days in Utah with some amazing people, what, like two weeks ago????  And I haven’t even blogged about it!  What is that? Well, I feel like I’m officially back and ready to pick up where I left off weeks {ok, months} ago.  No more sickness, no more fires, no more traveling, no more fashion shows.  Just me at home with my projects, my family and my thoughts.  Yay!

Things might seem a little out of control here. Currently I have six different products that are in various states of completion. There is rope, chain, paint, beads, trash, plastic bags, set pieces and all of my failed attempts at creating great new jewelry pieces scattered around our my family room. My SNAP! swag, business cards, and sponsor info is piled on our dining room banquette. The laundry from the 5 days I was gone is heaped in the corner of the family room by the laundry. My kitchen counter is covered with Rit dye experiments and my lawn is … Continue reading →
