Last night before bed we watched this Spike Jonze Tell Them Anything You Want: a Portrait of Maurice Sendak. It got emotional a parts, especially when he was reflecting on death and the highlights of his life. I’m not too familiar with all of his work, but I liked hearing him talk about not shying away from the darker side of childhood in his books. If you have a bit of time, it’s worth watching.The segment where he shows off the toys he and his brother made has to be one of my favorites.

Looking forward to seeing Mav’s Beauty and Use Collection. In her words …

we don’t want to put more “stuff” out into the world. We want to share our loves and our visions, and in the case of our Collections, our creations, but we want the impact to be gentle … handmade and small … simple … beautiful & useful.

After shelling out for upcoming trips and much-needed purchases (goodbye, creaky mattress from Boston’s Craigslist—ew), I’ve put a short leash on personal purchases. I could be convinced, however, to get this saffron dress from Wikstenmade‘s newest collection. Reason number one: versatility. I could dress it  up or down. Reason two: the color is amazing! And three: with the mild winters in Texas (cf. Chicago, Boston) this would work year-round. Okay, I think I just convinced myself.

I had fun making the first Valentine’s heart, and kept at it. These are inspired by some of the prints that caught my eye while browsing style.com. Most are from previous seasons (Too hard keeping up with everything!) I’ll probably send some late V-day cards.

  • Les Givral’s nest of 2×4′s. BJ and I were craving their bbq pork & pâté banh mi .
  • Barney’s Co-op is closing their Houston store. I bought one Richard Chai LOVE hooded parka for my sister Thuy and one for me. The drape and details are nice with plenty of room for layering. Plus you can’t beat a deal that is almost 90% off!
  • The weather is finally feeling like winter! I think the decorations will have to stay up a little longer.
  • Tinsel icicles on clearance + washi tape = a Confetti System-inspired project.
  • This watercolor portrait of Baby Bunny is a present from Julia made with the Christmas presents we gave her. I love her background!

BJ tested out a few recipes from Fresh, Fast, and Green over the weekend and they were delicious and easy to make. As a sorta newbie in the kitchen, it was helpful to read about preparing and storing different veggies. Am I the only person who didn’t know you’re not suppose to keep tomatoes in the fridge? I think this book is going to be a frequent go to in the kitchen!
