When I saw this peacock blue felt, I knew I had to make a new pin for spring. I love this color! I want to wrap myself up and live in this color. She is made from layer upon layer of fluffy wool felt. I think her name is Betty. She’s about 2-1/2″ across and [...]

1. I am completely capable of making a fool of myself when I get to meet someone that I’ve admired from afar. Shannon from Rocks in My Dryer inspires me frequently. And she couldn’t have been more sweet as I fluttered about her and declared my undying love. And Meredith from Like Merchant Ships is [...]

All of this talk of about my bangs has broken my dumputer! I’m trying very hard not to panic. And because it’s broken, I can’t show you my pretty Valentines decorating. And I can’t show you the pretty new brooches that I can’t put in my etsy shop. I’m calling in the Geek Squad and [...]

To BlissDom! I’m beyond excited! Since I’m from Pittsburgh and there isn’t a BlissDom badge that says “I’m goin’ yinz guys, n’at”, this one will have to do. Maybe I’ll need to talk with Fussypants about that for next year. Speaking of Pittsburgh…WOOHOO STEELERS!!!!!!! Now onto a more serious topic. If you follow me on [...]

I mentioned last week that I plan to start a new series called Building a Soft Place to Land. I meant it when I said that I hope it will be a dialogue. Mostly because if it’s all up to me, this will be a seriously short-lived series. So before we get started, I’d love [...]

I love me some Anthropologie! This is a store that I will make a special 45 minute drive just to walk around in. Gorgeous stuff for your kitchen, your bathroom, your bedroom and your bod. It’s a little spendy for me so I only shop their clearance sections (and not even that right now). Even [...]

I hesitate to say that out loud (or in writing) since it means that I’m committing to something. And when I comes to blogging, I tend to be a little scattered. I have a hard time following through when I decide to do something regularly on my blog. I’m kind of like a bird who [...]

Here at A Soft Place to Land, I love to prattle on and on about all things home. But one thing you will never find me writing about is cooking. It’s just not my thing. I’m not a bad cook but I’m not a great one either. I guess I’d call myself a utilitarian cook [...]
