A Proper Introduction

Greetings! I am Rebecca: wife, designer, and serious home body.

My idea of a perfect day is one where I wake up to a clean house (stocked with plenty of tasty treats and clean laundry), sew a little, cook a little, read here & there, take a nap, meet a friend for dessert, and then watch an episode or two of the Wire – my all-time favorite TV show. It has inspired me to name my next cat Omar. Who’s with me on that?

In the real world, I work at an architecture firm downtown. I am from Las Vegas (please don’t ask what it’s like growing up there – it’s hot, OK?), country-jumped to Boston for college, and now live in Portland, Oregon. I married a New Yorker who is passionate about paleontology like nobody’s business. Really. We have a cat, Misha, whom we call Meech. She is grumpy, assertive, and sometimes aggressive. We love her.

I am passionate about good food, trips and travel of almost any kind, creating with my hands, and Stephenie Meyer’s vampire series. I hope to use this place, my blog, as a forum for the lovelies I whip up on the sewing machine and in the kitchen, and as a general resting spot for all the adventures we seem to find ourselves in.

Here we go…

Update #1: live & on scene

Massive work in progress as we get our act together. Good things to come.

In the mean time, here we are in all out glory after the wedding, in Ireland.
