Photo Shoot

Guess what I'm wearing for my photo shoot with the LA Times? Yep, if you've been following for a few months now you'll know I wouldn't dare wear anything other than my designer jeans that I SWORE I wouldn't wear to work in...that I've been wearing practically everyday for a month...to work in.I tried my hardest to look presentable. My husband actually looked surprised when I came out out of the bathroom because it's been so long since he's seen me put on makeup and curl my hair and let's face it, really just take a shower.Anyhow, I have to run....

The Bertie Box's Cousins

I've been thinking about cousins to the Bertie Box. Other abstract modern, shapes that work well as lids that I can make into bodies of animals, insects, what not. Scott was drawing a few the other night -- he has the drawing talent in the family -- and we came up with a few ideas. Anyone care to comment on these ideas or have any that you'd love to see made into a toy box?I'd love to know what you think!OwlSpiderF...

The Monday List

I'm in a very list-y kinda mood today. Ya know how Mondays are, right? My post will be in list form today in honor of said mood. Ok, maybe it's really because my items are unrelated. There. You caught me. Grace had her first T-Ball game on Saturday so I posted a little video for our relatives that don't get to see the live action. Check out Grace's mad skills on the pitcher's mound by clicking here. Seriously, it's hilariously cute. Velvet Cushion posted about Mod Mom Furniture over the weekend. YEAH! :)Ok, I'm all out of list items...

Same Products, New Wood!

I....was...in....heaven....today!!!!Seriously, it was a GREAT day! First Scott, Little G, and I made our way to Phillips Plywood to check out some of Columbia Forest Products' Purebond plywood. Get this. It's formaldehyde-free!! They use a soy-based adhesive that contains little to no formaldehyde, therefore it's environmentally safe. So I'm jumping on that bandwagon and quick! Nothing better than furniture that's super...

We're Back from Baby Celebration LA

WHEW! So we're back and in one piece. The show was great -- well attended and super organized. I only made a fool of myself a couple of times, I believe. :)I have to send out BIG thanks to my family and friends. There is no way I could have gotten it all done (and so well) without you! Much love to all of you! I have to figure out a way to say thanks that equals all the love and support you've given me. So I doubt I...

Staph Break

I'm taking a quick break from building a table and two chairs to set the record straight. If you come to the show on Saturday or Sunday and you see me, you won't get a staph infection. Apparently, my staph infection turned out to be a non-lethal spider bite. YEAH!! So good news all around...except for what I learned before the nurse herded me into my doctor's visit room.I learned that stepping on a scale in a doctor's office is bad for your health. And even if you close your eyes, chances are the nurse will YELL the unmentionable number into the...

Glitch versus Good

It just hit me today that the big show (which I won't mention again because you'll want to to deck me) is coming up on Saturday. I really feel like I'm following my production schedule fairly well but you just never know about how it'll all play out. For instance, I hadn't planned on having a staph infection. Yep, a staph infection bump right there on my left thigh. Little G had one a month ago so I figured I got lucky somehow, and didn't contract one even though I had to put the antibiotic cream on her wound daily. So I think I'll have to...

That's it....we're moving to Italy

While putting off my workout this morning, I stumbled upon this post on an Italian Design Blog called DesignerBlog. It sure is a good thing I took Spanish in high school!! After staring at the text trying desperately for it to magically translate, I got the bright idea to use an online translation program. Here's babelfish's translation of the post ( but if anyone knows Italian and knows differently, let me know. Maybe...
