Welcome back.. me...

After a big move or life changing event it can be difficult to continue the habits you once easily fit into your daily routine. For example some of you may go to the gym at 7am before work, eat your dinner at exactly 8:30 each evening, or go out for drinks with your best friends every Friday night. I used to do these things, but lets face it, things change and routines can be hard to maintain. (at least when you're all over the place like me.)

Unfortunately this blog, for which I started up with hopes of utilizing as a tool to bring inspiration to my creative mind, fell to the wayside when I moved to Salt Lake City last November. Oddly with the move I became more fanatical about my personal Internet research, got back into crafting, gardening, interior decorations and revived my love of patterns and color, but I never found the need to write about them. For I figured that if I was being active, why write? When I should have said to myself, "I'm active and this should be documented!" So here I am with a whole new agenda for the blog. I will be posting weekly entries encompassing inspirational works that are pertinent to my current life and interests- regardless if they are design oriented or simply crafty or pretty. So the nature of the blog entries and over all discussion topics posted here will be noticably differnt from here on out.

I am dedicating this spurt of inspiration to my friend Macon York of Brooklyn, NY. She is the writer of the blog Velvet Nectar and design assistant at New York Magazine. Her blog consists of documentation of her favorite items which span a wide range of artistic studies- from photography to typography to culinary. She has created a great body of information that is definitely worth checking out.

So lets see where this goes!
