I'm back from Vermont (where I, among many other things, made an embroidered potholder for my grandmother for her eightieth birthday, stitched up a scarf using pieces of voile from Anna Maria Horner's amazing Little Folks line, and received a lovely new print for our new apartment), but we're now jetting off to DC for the weekend to explore and hopefully find a place to live (!). Crafty updates will have to wait, but in the meantime, here are some colorful, recently starred items from the good ol' Google Reader:

freya art and design
As one of our wedding presents, my husband and I were given money to purchase artwork. We chose to buy this print by the artist Freya, which we'd seen months ago on Oh So Beautiful Paper and really liked. I've since framed it using a frame I found at Goodwill and painted black, to match all of our other frames.
You can view more of Freya's work in her shop.
