Yarn Bombing

Jamie Bartlett Blog Post Art, Graffiti, Inspiration, Michigan, Traverse City 1660 Views

When we were in Michigan last month we stumbled upon a little park in Traverse City’s downtown area that had been yarn bombed. I’ve heard of and seen pictures from this knitting graffiti movement, but I’ve never experienced it first hand. It was so unexpected that as soon as we saw it, both Jake and I got so excited and starting taking

Beautiful floral painting by Lulie Wallace. It makes me want to paint again. Drawing with Vintage Photo by Spencer Studio. This is such a fun and interesting piece. I remember having to do this kind of project in my high school art class. I would love to try this concept with one of my grandparents’ old photographs. As soon as I saw this Dog Silhouette over on Design Sponge I decided that

We finally made it back to Los Angeles last night. It feels good to be home and get back into our routine. It always amazes me how life can be so different going from one side of the county to the other. One night we’re sleeping with a heated blanket and the next night we have our windows open with the

Snowshoeing in Northern Michigan

Jake Blog Post Adventure, Michigan, Snow, Traverse City, Winter 1241 Views

Since our flight back to LA was cancelled because of the snow storm, we were able to go snowshoeing! My parents live in front of an old cherry orchard, so we took my dog Misty and went through the orchards on snowshoes. It was so much fun! And Misty wore herself out charging through the powdery snow. Jamie dressed up

Snow Day

Slippers | Blanket | Hot Chocolate Recipe | Duck Boots | Toboggan | 101 Dalmatians One of my favorite things as a kid was when my mom would come in my room early in the morning while I was still asleep and whisper “it’s a snow day. School is canceled”. That’s the best news any kid could hear. Not only do you
