It’s been a pretty low-key week so far ‘round these parts. After our whirlwind weekend of traveling, it’s a welcome change. The babes and I haven’t left the house since Sunday, and don’t have any immediate plans to. Usually by Thursday, I’m getting cabin fever and feeling pretty isolated way out here in the country, but not this Thursday. I’ve declared it pajama day. Paisley’s wearing Christmas ... [ Read More ]
Rachel Cave ~ BEAUTIFUL FABRIC PATTERNS!
I’m pretty embarrassed by my lack-of-knowledge in the fabric designer scene. Until very recently, the only designer I could have rattled off is Amy Butler… who doesn’t love Amy Butler? Nobody, that’s who. Well, a few weeks ago I discovered Orla Kiely and talked about her awesome patterns HERE, and just this morning I discovered the ravishing and GORGEOUS work of London artist Rachel Cave. Feast ...

Divide and Conquer (and a countdown!)
This past weekend, Paisley and I took an impromptu flight to Denver, CO to visit my friend Sabrina! I love being spontaneous, and this was the perfect fix for me! Plus, I love to visit my close friends, and it’s been WAY too long since I’ve seen Sabrina (since our wedding! She was a bridesmaid!) It was a short trip… Pais and I flew out Saturday morning, and returned Sunday afternoon. Here’s a pic ... [ Read More ]
14 Months
Once upon a time, I took over a hundred pics of my tiny babies in one ‘orange chair’ sitting, because they were just that stinkin’ cute and… sat still. Times have changed my friends. I’m totally spent. I just took well over a hundred pictures again, only in almost every shot, they’re like a pack of wild rabid coyotes. I uploaded some of our ‘outtakes’ to Flickr so you can all go take a gander at ... [ Read More ]
Bonus Project! {Picture Frames out of Furniture Doors}
If you joined us yesterday, you know that this little gem got a serious facelift. And after removing those doors for our client (and adding a shelf), did you really think we would just throw the doors away? Of course not! That would have been wasteful. I asked Nick if he could cut out the inset panels so I could use them as picture frames, and he jumped at the opportunity to use his ... [ Read More ]
Long-Awaited Intro to our PAINT GUN!
Our new friend Nick (ironic!) had purchased this end table from us a few months back. He recently contacted us with a new job! He had a coffee table, end table, and a long/low unit that he wanted us to paint to look like a ‘set’. The coffee table and end table are already siblings, but that other piece isn’t even a distant cousin. He wanted to use the long/low table-ish thing as a TV stand, and ... [ Read More ]
Have a Nice Life Little Buddy
Well, my littlest brother (of seven children) is finally flying the coop. It’s crazy to remember that 18 years ago, he was born on a Wednesday. I was 12, and at summer camp, and really mad to learn that my parents named him Joshua instead of MY favorite name, Josiah. I was also mad when my mom told me I couldn’t HAVE him. I figured she had plenty of children, and I was ready for one my own. A ... [ Read More ]
Doily Bowls using Fabric Stiffener
…So we got this cute little snacky 3-tired-bowl thingy as a wedding gift back in the day. I can't find this exact 3-tiered stand anymore, but here's a similar one! (this post contains affiliate links) Having had some doilies lying around (I love doilies!), I thought it would be fun to try my hand at making doily bowls in various sizes to fit perfectly into the openings! And the existing ... [ Read More ]
S&E on Pinterest
It took me two years to give in and open up a Facebook page for Sawdust and Embryos. For a long time, I just didn’t understand why it was necessary, and it seemed like ‘just another thing’ I would need to update. But it’s turned out to be really fun, and I love posting random pictures from time to time. Your feedback is wonderful and hilarious. Don’t expect me to ever give in to Twitter, or ... [ Read More ]
Our weekend, in case you’re interested
The weeks are FLYING by… it seems like I BLINK and it’s Monday again! Last Friday, the girls and I got invited by my BFF (we really call each other that… mature, I know), to go swimming at her parents house! We jumped all over that… especially after being cooped up in the house all week! Delly loves the water, but it takes Pais awhile to warm up to the idea. She’s not a risk-taker by any ...
