[FAMILY] FATHERS + FOOD

{Photograph by Sally J Shim}

We celebrated our amazing Appah with a yummy Father's Day breakfast-- chocolate waffles topped with fresh berries. I love how the boys associate Appah with good food. Case in point, an excerpt from the first page of a Father's Day book written by j for Appah.

"I like my father because he makes good food. I like my father because he is nice. I like my father because he plays with me."

Fathers and food. Love them both!

Pretty poppies.

[DESIGN] FILZ FELT

{Filz Felt}

I love industrial wool felt. It is so versatile and with a few trims and stitches it can be transformed into so many beautiful + functional goods. The iPad sleeve I made a few months ago has been put to good use and I am itching to make a new sleeve so I can rotate them. The charcoal industrial wool felt in my stash is from Korea and I was looking for a source here in the States. After a bit of research I found Filz Felt. So many beautiful colors to choose from. I ordered the light grey [surprise, surprise] but I think next time I will order the cobalt or yellow!

P.S. I am a guest blogger for Unruly Things. You can see some of my picks for pretty jewelry here.

[WRAP] PACKAGE 010

Although I'm not much of a candy eater I love giving candy away to friends. And fortunately I have friends who love candy and appreciate a pretty package. The clear plastic container is one of my favorites and is from Target. The colorful natural fruit jellies are from Trader Joe's. I just added a little sticker paper label to the container for a quick + sweet little gift.

[FAMILY] MR. SIX

The baby of our family is six years old today. I cannot imagine our family without him. He makes us laugh every single day and makes our family of four so much sweeter. Happy Birthday, Judah!

[The portrait was done at the school carnival a few weeks ago and j had the funniest expression on his face. which the artist captured perfectly.]
