Each Day

Inspiration: Black & White

Things are still a bit all over the place around here (meaning the physical here, the virtual here, and the mental here!). I've changed the name of the Inspiration Daily posts to just Inspiration- since I don't post them every day. Makes sense right?

I'm pretty sure I haven't shared this photo with you before, but it's been in my bookmarks for awhile, so you'll forgive me if I have right? I'm really loving black and white photography right now. Our new apartment is really open, and there is sort of a floating wall dividing the living room and bedroom. I've decided to make the living room side of this wall our "Black and White Gallery Wall". I have two gorgeous black and white photos from Etsy sellers up already, and have been on the hunt for more. So this image is definitely inspiring me today.

Treasury Thursday: Blank Walls (Part 1)

We just spent the first night in our new place! I love the stained concrete floors, the big open space, and the farmland view (I even heard a rooster crowing just now!). While I unpack my dishes and organize my yarn, my brain is itching to cover the walls with art, sew curtains for the windows, and generally redecorate everything. This is my favorite part of moving into a new place. I've gathered so many favorites on Etsy that I thought I'd do a short series of treasuries over the next few weeks, featuring inspiration for different rooms and areas.

Here is Part 1 of the "Our New Place" series- I hope you enjoy all the awesome art I've found! Now I just have to narrow down which ones to get (what are your favorites?).

Phat Fiber Love

My Phat Fiber box for June arrived at the end of last week and I just had time to take photos of my new fiber stash before taking off on our camping trip last weekend (more on that as soon as I get the photos sorted).

I got lots of gorgeous fiber and a few mini skeins of yarn too. I'm adding everything to my future-spinner stash! Here are the contents of June's Science Fiction Phat Fiber Box (and in case you missed it last week, here was my contribution):

 

I was so excited to get my first box- everything was so soft and sparkly. I can't wait to use it! Here are some photos of my favorites (which inevitably are the softest and/or have the most sparkle or brightest colors):

 

:: All For Love of Yarn (Soft and sparkly)::

 

:: Queen of the Galaxy Batt from Out of Step Dyeworks (Beautiful sparkly gold and silver with black)::

 

:: A Dyeing Wish (Amazing color combos)::

 

:: Smith and Ewe (SUPER super soft)::

 

:: Batgirl, Robin, and Batman from Beckylicious (So creative, plus I love the color combos!)::

 

:: Dyet Yarn (Gorgeous shades of black and blue)::

:: Tribbles- Angora, Alpaca, Merino, and Llama from Llady Llama Fiber Co. (LOVE the robot box + everything is super soft!)::
