Sometimes creative adventures don’t turn out the way you’d hoped and find themselves in the trash, other times there are happy accidents. Such is this DIY pixel art project from Wit & Whistle. Amanda created this blown out pixelated piece from a photo of Iceland, can’t wait to make my own!

I’m wearing dresses in a big way this fall, and a pair or five of these easy DIY knee patch tights are just the thing to jazz things up a little and make old reliables fun again. I love the idea of doing a more subtle tone-on-tone pair like Stephanie at 3191 Miles Apart suggests!

You all were so gracious and supportive when I lost my job last month, it’s only fair I tell you about my next step that begins tomorrow. I’m heading off to New York for a long-term freelance job that will keep me there through the end of the year! Exciting stuff, for sure. I’m subletting a sweet little studio with a full kitchen in Fort Greene, Brooklyn and I couldn’t be more thrilled. After doing a fast tally, I realized I have many more friends in NYC than OKC and I’m looking forward to catching up with every single one while in town. I’ll keep you posted as everything unfolds, but in the meantime I hope you’ll forgive me if things slow down just the tiniest bit for the next week as I get adjusted to my new digs and schedule. Until then, here are a boatload of good things to keep you going.
