It was a good week. Thanks to Paul having Monday off, it seemed to fly. (We’re paying for it though – he’s working all day tomorrow.) If all goes as planned, office floor installation wraps up today. We ended up going with travertine instead of wood because a) it matches the rest of the house and b) I was having serious anxiety about finding a wood floor that didn’t compete with the wood ceiling. I think this is going to be a good fit and will help keep the space light and fresh. I can’t wait to get re-situated and make this office work both in form and function. Having my stuff spread throughout the house is not ideal.

Fun news: I am going to be a monthly contributor on the new Daily Epiphanie blog. I’ll be sharing DIY photo projects and the first one – modern silhouettes – went live yesterday. I can already tell this is going to be a fun and challenging gig.

Next for me is another 600 or 700 rounds of re-stacking Ellerie’s rainbow tower, getting the office put back together and quilting up a Christmas tree skirt. We’ve had a tree 5 out of the last 6 years and have never had a tree skirt. It’s time to get with the program.

Have a great weekend.

    Do you have patterns for the triangle quilt and your new tree skirt? (I’m working on the binding for my #getquilty table runner, woohoo!)

    awesome about the table runner! And no.. no pattern for the tree skirt, just making it up as I go along. I’ll be sure to share though. The triangle quilt was “made up” as well.. just equilateral triangles sewn into strips and then sewn together. 🙂

    that is awesome that you were able to find matching tile for the floor. we had tile in the kitchen & some of them cracked & we had a heck of a time trying to find something to match it!
    the link to the silhouette tutorial is for a camera strap? maybe they haven’t updated it yet??

    Depends which link you click.. the camera strap is today’s post on the blog, but the link that says “modern…” takes you to my post : http://www.daily-epiphanie.com/new-blog/2013/11/14/modern-photo-silhouettes 🙂

    Hi Elise. So I am a new mommy like you (in fact my little boy was born on the same day as your little girl-I love your weekly letters to her!) Anyway the reason I am writing is to find out how you do all that you do (blogging/running a business/being a wife/being a mommy/ and keeping up with projects to boot! How are you able to find the time for everything? I would love to pick your brain on how you do it.
    Thanks!
