It’s longer than any school I’ve attended, any job I’ve held or any relationship I’ve been in. I’m glad I did it for so long, but I’m also glad to finally call it quits. I just can’t, and don’t want to, keep up with the endless buying buying buying to create new outfits. And because I want a place to share about all of that, I’ve started a new blog - Stars + Field.

Here’s how I make mine: firstly, I make things easy on myself by using pre-rolled refrigerated pie crust. None of my friends can tell the difference between it and my from scratch version (but if you want to do it, here’s a great recipe). Now mix together your pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, egg and spices until smooth. That’s just heavy whipping cream and a little powdered sugar beat on high until stiff.

After a week of living in sawdust, I’m still living in sawdust! but there’s still drywall to be hung and finished, base boards to be milled and installed, walls to be painted, new lighting, etc. I also bought some rugs and a light fixture, but I want to check the quality before I five a review (ditto on the Article chair, but you guys gave me resounding cheers for their pieces) I’m going to start out pretty neutral and add in color when I’m drawn to it.

We are in full renovation mode here at Quirk HQ, so I’ve been putting most of my creative energy into picking out treatments and trims (and not much blogging). Over the weekend my folks came to town and my dad demo’ed all of the tile in our hall and kitchen and together with Adam tore out the carpet from the dining room. They also took down the large iron railings that were along the edge of the dining room, next to our sunken living room. The addition in our home was done in the mid 60s, so it all kind of works in a quirky sort of way.
