Always wanting.

More days with him.

"...it's only you I think about..."

I've been hearing clips of this song in the new Volvo commercials for the past few weeks and I finally broke down and scoured the internet in search of it today. Such lovely lyrics and the color combinations that pop up in this video are wonderful. The artist's name is Salem Al Fakir and I believe this album is currently available on iTunes.

When there are so many with so little.

I am thankful for all that He has given me in this life.

After some disassembly and adjustments it's about placemat sized. My living room will probably continue to be a sea of fabric strips until I have finished this project.

A day in the life of Emma.

Sleeping, talking to herself in the mirror, sleeping, stretching, sleeping, rolling off the bed, sleeping.

Rings, rings.

I'm finding it hard to get back into the swing of things after returning from the sunshine state late last night. Especially since Cleveland hasn't gotten the memo about spring yet and is currently in the 30s with snow. I'm already missing the sunny weather, the nest full of seven tiny swans outside Andrew's window, and our amazing new tandem bicycle (I can't wait to ride it again, it was the best surprise!). While I'll have to wait to post pictures of my visit, since most are on a roll of un-developed film, I have a couple of other things to share today.

I just came across an amazing artist on Ashes & Milk named Bryan Nash Gill. He creates life-sized prints from the cross sections of trees through the process of relief printing. I think the detail and complexity of the rings are absolutely gorgeous. This particular print is called Hemlock 82 and is available for purchase here.



I'm completely delighted to share these as well. Andrew and I comissioned the Etsy seller SterlingIdeas to make our wedding bands for us and this weekend we were able to see photos of the finished product. We felt that she had a style similar to my engagement ring and loved that she would work with us in creating matching bands out of recycled white gold. This is the result and we're very excited for the day when we'll finally be able to wear them.

Getting ready to make my way to the airport and see my love. It's a good day.

Overheard in Starbucks:

"Why would you make anything from scratch? It's the 21st century."
(In refrence to cooking)

All I could think was "ugh."
