Tutorial: Leather Chain Necklace
I must really have a thing for soft, fabric jewelry. First, the t-shirt necklace, now this. I have been admiring these leather necklaces by Handle & Spout for quite some time. Can I use the “imitation is the sincerest form or flattery” line again? What you need: Leather piece – approximately 12″ x 12″(if you [...]
The Site Looks New! Ta-da!
You may notice that my blog looks a little different. Or, you know, a lot different. As a client, I might be a little demanding but Ryan is pretty understanding. Together, we’ve been doing more work as Theory Design and it seemed time enough to get this site up to snuff. I think we’ve put [...]
Before & After: Record Cabinet
We bought this little cabinet on craigslist a few weeks ago for $40. You may recognize the paint color from here. With so much of the West Coast Gray sitting in the storage room, my conscience wouldn’t allow me to buy a new color. But I think I like the color much more in the [...]
I made him a beard.
I made Ryan this beard of rainbow yarn, à la i made you a beard. Erin Dollar’s beards are perfectly trimmed, but mine looks a little unkempt…
Button Tufted Camera Bag
I want to baby our camera. Does anyone else have this problem? You see that? Button tufted interior. What luxury! Nothing but the best for my camera… So, yes, this is a little over-the-top. For a camera. It’s just that I want something that I can throw in my purse so I don’t have to [...]
DIY Mugs

I found these fantastic rub-on transfers (via DesignMom): There are all sorts of colors and styles here. I emailed them to ask [...]
Tiramisu!
The onesies that we made for Paul and Gen went over quite well at the shower, especially the tiramisu one. So I made up a few more and listed them on etsy (See link in sidebar). In honor of this new listing, I want to present the tiramisu recipe that inspired the onesie. This recipe [...]
Onesies
Our friends Paul and Gen just had a baby boy. They named him Dario (Rio for short), isn’t that cute? Paul and Gen are Italian so we decided to make some Italian-inspired onesies for Dario. We had all the supplies from the time we experimented with freezer paper stencils. We brainstormed a bit and came [...]
Delicious Cucumber Alphabet
What can I say? Ryan is passionate about typography and I’m passionate about cucumbers. And yes, I totally ate every last piece after we took the pic.
The Flora to My Fawn(a)
Someone needs to take this freezer paper away from me. Or else find me some new colors of fabric paint. In any case, I present this, my second freezer paper stencil project.
