by rosedeniz June 15, 2009 nesting

Tweet My favorite color made an appearance this morning at breakfast. Between Devrim’s shirt, our coffee mugs, bowls and the kitchen walls, it was a turquoise dream come true. If only all our breakfasts were this colorful.

Sugar Pink

by rosedeniz June 15, 2009 nesting

Tweet The sugar pink of this spread in June’s Elle Decor Turkey transports me back to my bedroom when I was thirteen. It was on the top floor of our new house that we had moved to from St. Paul, MN to Wauwatosa in Milwaukee. There was a pink tiled bathroom on that floor and […]

Friday Photos at Home

by rosedeniz June 12, 2009 nesting

Tweet I’ve blogged more this week than I usually do, and I think it has something to do with the quality of light for taking photos. Winter is drab and dreary here, and now I feel like everything from my mood to the world outside has improved with a little sun therapy. This morning I […]

Wednesday Pillow

by rosedeniz June 11, 2009 nesting

Tweet Say hello the newest member of our pillow family, sewn yesterday out of Anna Maria Horner’s Good Folks fabric. When I got this 1/2 yard in the mail it was begging to be made into a pillow. It would have taken much less time to make had I thought about a closure before I […]

Tangents at the Market

by rosedeniz May 28, 2009 nesting

Tweet This container and these bowls came home with me the other day when I went to the market. I’m not sure how it happens, but after I pick up the pasta, the milk, the bread, I wander over to the household items. Sometimes I look at socks, and eye the newest shampoo. It’s all […]

Tweet Seams to Me, by Anna Maria Horner on top of my first patchwork quilt, followed by a couple shelving photos.

Red and Aqua

by rosedeniz May 20, 2009 nesting

Tweet My two favorite colors in the whole world meet in our kitchen. The vintage stitching that I had framed here in Turkey is from Emily Lynch Vintage, and the apron was my mother’s, given to me last year by my grandmother. I love the country home feel of it, which is fitting because we […]

Day Job

by rosedeniz May 12, 2009 nesting

Tweet I thought there might be some of you that wonder just what it is I do when I creep off to ‘work’. This is not of the painting and drawing variety, but the earning hard cold cash one. Well, I buy things, take pictures of them, and write about them. Once in a while […]

The Starter Quilt

by rosedeniz April 24, 2009 nesting

Tweet Throwing caution to the wind, I embarked upon my first quilt. The desire to make a quilt had been growing in me since my grandmother gave me quilt squares made by my great-grandmother almost two years ago. I’m not quite finished with this starter quilt, but nearly so. I didn’t follow a pattern. I […]
