garden frolics.
What to do when work flies you home for the weekend, it’s sunny out, and your parents are big fans of the outdoors? Frolic to the nearest botanical garden! My Dad packed his fancy camera, we donned our big hats, and we were off to the Los Angeles Arboretum in Arcadia.…

erin’s errands.
I got off work a little early today so I was able to run a few errands. These errands were far from being chores though. They were more like crafty adventures. My first stop was Urban Ore Ecopark which sells eco-friendly salvaged goods. From doors to dishes and books to baskets,…

green things.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! To get into the festive spirit I thought I’d share photos of all things green and little stories from my life. Wear your greens. My name, Erin, means “peace” and is the poetic name for Ireland. This is easily a top reason for why St.Patrick’s day…

t-shirt dress.
T-shirts – I’m not a big fan because I have sweaty armpits. No really, I sweat pretty easily. Sleeveless numbers and cardigans are my preference – my arms stay warm but my pits can air out should it get a little hot. Now, loose t-shirts I can get into, mostly for…

selfie stick.
Before the selfie stick there were pictures I took of myself with my arm extended. I was good at it. Observe. Enter the selfie stick. I’m still a little embarrassed to admit I own one (they were giveaways at an event I went to), but I will admit they are great…

the other ‘w’ word.
SF Etsy put together a meet-up event at Weebly (Am I allowed to say that on WordPress?) headquarters for an informative session on creating a unique website for our crafty businesses. My crafty side hustle is hosted on Weebly so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to learn about new-to-me features…

gallery art.
I was recently asked to contribute to an art installation collaboration for a local art gallery. What?! I know, so official. I only had one night to think about my contribution so I decided to just show up and let art happen when I got to the studio to create…

nailed it.
It’s the Lenten season and I decided to give up one of my favorite activities: mani-pedis! Of course, I didn’t think about it until the day after Ash Wednesday, so I didn’t run out and book a last minute appointment on Fat Tuesday. Thus, my nails are, for lack of…
