Morning (Manly) Morsel: World Series DVDs

Kate Blaylock — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 14:25:51 +0000

I woke up this morning to a lovely snowfall and the rare, and therefor exciting, news that church was canceled. I am enjoying the extra time to visit with my grandparents who are here from California and Michigan… and, as I often do when I visit with friends and family, I am multitasking. This time I am shopping for next year’s Christmas gifts (don’t laugh, I have a system). And I think I’ve found a great one for Meijer.

Behold, the baseball lover’s dream:

The A&E Home Video Official World Series Film Collection DVD Set is Perfect for Meijer, his incredible memory, and the cold Michigan nights. At $180 it’s a bit pricey, but my parents may be willing to go havsies with Mr. and me.

It’s officially “on the list.”

Morning Morsel: A litl Something Sweet

Kate Blaylock — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 13:45:08 +0000

Daniel and I run a four or five Mac household, depending on the day. So when this an email mentioning this beauty came through my inbox last night, you can imagine my initial reaction.

I am, unsurprisingly, attracted the simple lines and smooth styling of the litl webbook. What do you think?

(I have to admit, we do own two PCs. Neither functions. We should properly dispose of them, but I am the sentimental sort and am a bit too attached to their sticker-covered Kateness.)

Morning Morsel: A Lace Shopping Basket

I found this morning morsel, and thought of myself. And Sweats. It’s beautiful, durable, and practical. (And it comes in black.)

What do you think? It’s the Lace Shopping Basket from the Container Store? Would you use it to shop, organize, or transport stuff?

Internet Walkabout: Tif Fussell’s dottie angel and a vintage recycled, ‘whatnot’ holiday garland

Kate Blaylock — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:24:23 +0000

For today’s internet walkabout I decided to look for something to create. I am an unashamed adorer of the holiday season. Just ask my sweety. Last night, while chaufferig me around our lovely little town, he asked, “So, Kate. What is your favorite thing about the holidays?” I loved that he was sitting there, in the driver’s seat, thinking about how cute my love for the holidays is. Anyway, he got me thinking.

I’ve been dealing with a heart condition flare up that’s had me holding off on just-about everything; I could use a little something to accelerate my dive into the festivities. So, I googled “holiday craft tutorial.” No dice. I googled “holiday gift card tutorial.” Worse than no dice. Tacky dice. Finally, I googled “holiday garland tutorial.” Sweet, mild, heart-pleasing dice on the second result.

Just look at it!

She takes this:

And does this:

And, after a few more steps, ends up with this:

Just perfect. A simple and calming way to start the season.

Go ahead, head on over and give read to Tif’s inspiring blog. After you’re through the aforementioned holiday garland tutorial (blogged on my birthday, no less), check out the other gems on her blog. (I love this and this.) Maybe you’ll even take her challenge of the utmost kind and pick up a few Christmas gifts in her Etsy shop.
