a wedding palette from miss martha's weddings. oh, the joy it gives me. drooooool.

my dream couch. i wish i would learn to keep track of where i get images from. i am sure this is from apartment therapy? woops. anyhoo, if you know of a couch like this, i would go to the corners of the earth for it (secondhand i mean).
and i'm mostly sure this is rachel's entry way. even if it's not, her house is amazing in the modern thrifted beauty kind of way that makes my heart happy.
my new to me favorite blog. she and her husband are an adorable totallyinlove little mormon couple living the nyc life. she's a dancer, and her style totally rocks my world. (or as i said to my sister, which was met with laughter loud and long: "it's like, someone had my same dream at age ten, only they did it!").
well, how simple and free is that for prettying up your weekend dinner table? or for outdoor family dining? heart.
elsie's fabulous post about trying to "make it" in a creative career. great advice, and a lot of it. and yes, i realize she looks alot like the last inspiring girl picture. yes, i have a type. yes, i will be knitting those hats for the etsy shop.
my friend, and favorite scrapbooker of all time: jill. she posted this page that makes me want to scrapbook so bad that i almost did. ha! also, her life is an inspiration to me right now as they just followed their dream and left utah (!) to go live on a farm in the pacific northwest. heart heart.
still daily receiving of spiritual epiphanies and inspirations from the miracle that is the nielson family. these thoughts on gaining perspective in the face of this tragedy were especially poignant to me today. i continue to pray.
still dreaming about getting to my crochet projects. this crocheter has me super dooper inspired. triple heart.
but the very most inspirationy thing? being a mommy and trying to do what's best for my family. really trying to be and do better each day (which isn't so hard, because i perform so poorly to begin with). floods of ideas for your family's welfare come as you pray and meditate for their happiness.
i really loved reading all the comments from yesterday's post. they really moved me, and the quotes shared were so so powerful to me. my favorite: "it is common sense to take a method and try it. if it fails, admit it frankly and try another. but above all, try something." - franklin d. roosevelt
think about that! what a perfect solution to all the stress and worry of life. all the waiting for good things to happen. work! try! try again! build a life you love! i love the adage "pray for wind and row for shore". thanks elizabeth for sharing that quote, and everyone for the friendship and support. quadruple heart.
