I can't decide which I love the most out of these adorable Nadinoo outfits

randoms

sometimes I collect so many inspiring pics from the internet and I just need to get them on here, yet I don't have time to do it in a organized fashion...

I love the feel of this kitchen/room with all the windows and rich wood.

I am liking pops of unique wallpaper, like Anthropologie's new line, have you seen it? I like this one.

I was just talking to my dad about Italy yesterday, reminiscing. He served his mission in Northern Italy and I spent one summer living in his favorite area of his mission, Genoa. I spent my days heading down to the train, choosing which beach town I wanted to spend the day at, swimming/laying out, getting my favorite gelato. These days were so dreamy and surreal. Being there for about 4 months, I am grateful I had the experience to feel like a local, doing everyday things like grocery shopping and laundry, getting to know the area and amazing people I still love and miss!

While on the beaches there, an Italian man will walk along the water with a bucket, calling out Coco Bello! over and over. I would hear him and wait and then buy my little pieces of cold coconut. "Beautiful Coconut". Its also a pet name.

update:

some things I have learned from my first project:

1. I need to measure everything

2. wash, dry and press everything.

Im a sewer! I am slowly getting the hang of this machine, slowly but surely! I don't have all the supplies I need yet but a start...don't look too close at the cards I made (out of scraps) bc you will then see how bad I suck at just sewing a straight stitch. I am improving though. Right now I am piecing together a little patchwork quilt for Isla, I did a little mock up of a style pillow I like, with pintucks...its pretty easy! (out of an old ripped up bedsheet, I am thinking linen would be perfect like these below (martha stewart).
