Six years ago today I married my favorite person.
Then we spent the evening celebrating with many of the people we love, and who also love us back. There was a whole lot of love spiraling around in that tent that night in New York.
It was perfect.
Thanks for all of the love and adventure, sweet man of mine.
I'm so glad I found you.

Hi there,
Thanks for all the sweet anniversary wishes. We had such a wonderful time celebrating, something we feel like we're pretty dang good at. Before our actual anniversary (on the 8th), we spent a lovely long weekend celebrating in the Catskills. We soaked up the last bits of Summer with swims in the lake, some early morning birdwatching (egrets can be quite hilarious), and eating almost every meal outside.
It was perfect in every way. Now I can say I'm truly ready for Fall...
Have a lovely weekend,
Leya
Today is our first anniversary. I can hardly believe 365 days have passed since I practically ran down the aisle to marry this man. What an unforgettable day. What a lovely year.
Here's to many, many more.
Happy Anniversary, my sweet. I'm so glad I found you.

After a few days of hunched shoulders (binding can be a little tedious), I finally completed my first quilt. It's really special for several reasons, primarily because it's created from fabric left over from our big day back in September.
As with any first time project, there was a learning curve and some uncertainty at times. This book and this tutorial were both very helpful when it came time to do the binding. There is definitely a bit of wonkiness here and there, but I actually really love those parts. The best part though is completing a project I've been thinking about since last Fall -- that and knowing we now have a comfy quilt that will always remind us of our wedding day.
More soon,
leya
Hello and Happy Friday to you,
Today has been full and it's only the early afternoon.
I'm a big fan of days like today -- lots to do and lots being accomplished. A nice way to end the week if you ask me. Oh, before I forget, all Built By Wendy patterns (actually all Simplicity patterns) here are 99 cents. Yep, 99 pennies. *do call before you head out the door because I can't promise every store is running the same sale, I mean, heck, I go to one in Jersey, it could be doing its own thing, who knows?*
On a different subject entirely, I can't resist posting a photo of our new tea set that arrived yesterday -- a lovely handmade wedding gift from our talented friend, Ariel. We love it. The little tea cups are so perfect, I'm positive they will be put to almost daily use.
Hope you have a great weekend.
I'm going to sew and drink tea and make a big salad with pesto toast on the side.
At least those are a few things I hope to do.
Be Well,
Leya
My grandmother made us a wonderful owl quilt. Yep, an owl quilt that's warm and cozy and covered in hand painted owls. Good grief, we feel lucky.
Happy Tuesday,
In an effort to keep moving this morning, I'm just going to say that Dustin and I REALLY scored in the friend department. The drawing above is just a part of our wedding gift from one of our lovely friends who happens to be amazing and so talented, I could gush about her for hours. If you live in Portland, Maine look out for Monique (she sometimes wears blue moccasins), she's someone you want to know. Thanks again, Monique. We love it.
Off I go.
Have a good day, friends
l.
