Friday Finds #26 & a little on work

Working from home is all around pretty great. I get to be with my kiddies all day long, (and a lot of the time the Mr as well) getting paid a little to do all the things that I love. I get to plan out a day in the order that I wish, and if ever I need to just take a break and chill then I can! I'd be lying if I said I never get a little stir crazy at times, and get excited for even that quick errand for milk by myself, but that happens to the best of us right? And at the end of the day, the best part of my day is always the times with all the kids and Martin, talking about the work we got done that day, and about the progress we hope to make tomorrow. 
There are some really fun projects on my(our) plate right now and its always hard to go to bed instead of pushing something through to the finish line. Work in our house seems to always be referred to as 'projects', mostly I think because the word 'work' somehow means its going to be hard or obligatory, but I love to work! Don't get me wrong, I like not working too. But sometimes the lines between those two things gets really blurry. I guess I should say I like staying busy. You are far more likely to find me cleaning or creating than you are reading or lounging. (Mostly owing to the fact that I have large old house with a 2 year old, a 1 year old, and newborn:)) We just love making progress and doing "projects" around here I guess:) Besides, I'm saving up all my lounging for a beachy vacation someday.haha

This week I found...



...this sweet and lovely print by Lucky Jackson. Actually I found Lucky Jackson herself and discovered her amazing stitchery talents! haha This is one of my favorites..

...this light and easy summer outfit. Maybe I'm just hot (or modest about my thighs) but I picture it over a swim suit at the beach.haha Comfy!

...this pair of Nantes Pennon Earrings from anthro. I'm feeling very tribal lately and these look it to me, what do you think?

...this amazing glove clutch. There are several different kinds, but this is my favorite. I've never seen anything like these before, have you??
 

...this has got to be the coolest hair dryer ever! I can't say as to how efficient it would be, but the cool factor would for sure be there. lol

...this tasty recipe for your own nut butters! I love love honey roasted peanuts, so blending them up to spread on my toast? Heaven in an idea.

...this beautiful set of linen bedding from GarnetHill. I just love the soft organic feel that all the colors have. I'd love to own every last one!
Yummy colors.  I'd wrap my whole house in these if I could.

...this cute DIY chalk paint mug from the lovely Amy of Vanagon Champion! I'd like to make a bunch of these for the fall and winter months.
