    Loved the article on Georgia O’Keeffe, thank you for sharing! And your sister’s voice is so sweet.

      So glad! I think so, too!

      Those were the two links I clicked on first and thoroughly enjoyed the peek into Georgia O’Keeffe’s austere space. And what a delight to discover a new voice for my mellow dreamy moods.

    Those sandwiches! OMG. I must make them. Husband not liking mushrooms at all in the slightest – be damned! Seriously, I wanted to lick my screen.

    Love the bags. May need that link for our Township Sustainability committee of which I am a board member.

    Also – doing it wrong. LOL! It’s a gloomy, dreary, WET Friday here in NJ so, it’s much appreciated.

    The Doing it Wrong piece!! Last week I told my therapist that I realized every single day a blog or email newsletter tells me I’m doing something wrong, and I’ve been unconsciously internalizing all of that input and feeling, indeed, like I’m doing everything wrong, and that I’m going to start to unsubscribe from newsletters that have that kind of content. She responded that maybe the articles/blogs are just helpful tips and I’m just interpreting those tips to mean that I’m doing whatever (washing my hair, washing my face, raising my child, etc.) incorrectly. Now I have proof that, actually, it’s not just my head putting a darker spin to this content, they are literally telling us we’re doing it all wrong. Kind of validating. Thank you.

    LOVE your sister’s song..perfect (with a fresh mug of coffee and my journal) for this cold, wet and dreary Friday.

      Yay!

    Putting satchels of scents everywhere is such a nice way to freshen up for spring. Love your simple shots! Also, I’m listening to your sister’s song right now.

      Woohoo!

    I love these photos! Such a nice way to round up the week. Happy weekend x

    I love your sister’s recording, it feels like a massage after a long week. And, really, don’t we all agree that toast should be its own food group? My name in Arabic …. I have a video of a Moroccan woman showing me how to make cous cous, while in the background we can hear my son’s voice, laughing and speaking that beautiful language or something close (they spoke Berber in the town where he was a Peace Corps volunteer). Sending some rare Portland sun to all of you having a rainy Friday in NYC.

    Can you share the pattern used for the cardigan?

    • Reply ERIN BOYLE April 3, 2017 at 10:09 am

      Not sure the pattern! Will ask the friend who made it!

      • Reply Alison April 5, 2017 at 3:32 am

        That would be very much appreciated, as this appears to be the pattern I have been searching for (i.e. a raglan sleeve cardigan pattern for an infant that is not seamed)!
