A few days ago when I was feeling particularly down and missing my mama, I got the urge to embroider. I picked up this sweet cardinal embroidery piece at a thrift store the other day. It was on an unfinished piece of linen, and the moment I saw the two sweet birdies I just knew I had to have them and do something with them. Cardinals instantly remind me of my mom, every time I see one. Since its summertime and Ive been living in my cutoffs, I figured the perfect project would be to upcycle some old cutoffs. As I was putting on the random patches and stitches, I remembered Kinsey's lace pocket diy from a few weeks ago, and wanted to do something similar to the pockets of these shorts. I picked a pretty 70's inspired floral fabric and did random colored contrast stitching around them. I used to make things like this all the time, and I realized its been forever since I sat down and created a little something just for my own wardrobe. I spent hours sitting on my back porch, with the windows open so I could listen to Ray LaMontagne blare from indoors. There was a bittersweetness in the air while I thought of my parents and quietly sewed away at my patches. It was definitely soothing and healing for my soul.

It's been so long since Ive shared a pieces of home post! One of the things I do, if I dont know what to do with myself (because of the blues)... is take photos. I realized a few days ago how long its been since I randomly snapped pics from around my house. So I took a few minutes and did so. These are some of my favorite features on this blog, and I simply have forgotten about them lately!
*i love the photo above of my mom and her bestie in high school*
p.s. if you visited my blog yesterday or this morning and it was all funky and froze up your computer... im so sorry! i had a little html coding that was off, and its all fixed now!
And, I cant stop listening to Dan Andriano's album lately:
These pretty layers below are what I wore to Isabel's ballet recital. I loved all of the colors together so much. All I could think about was that my mom would of loved this outfit. In a way, I kind of felt like her in it. This little chiffon sparrow top has been one of my alltime favorite pieces in my closet. The burgundy piece below is a one piece jumper, and I must admit, I cant stand the way I look in it by itself. But its soooo cozy and I adore it, wishing I loved it on me as much as I did on the model online... so I am finding ways to wear it with layers. This handmade hemp vest from O Bella Organics was the perfect solution. It covered up all the right spots, and actually made the the look that much cuter. I just used one of my vintage belts to hold it in place. Oh, and the ring below is probably my favorite ring ever. Looks like little birdie tracks.
