We have returned from our little vacation to the Gulf Coast refreshed and relaxed - we rented a little cottage just two blocks from the beach.  It was so much fun!

I'm so excited to be back and I have so much to share with you this week - a new knitting pattern for 

heel-less socks, a recipe, and a family-friendly DIY project.

But first, here a few photos from our trip : )

We even squeezed in a little bit of time for one of my favorite activities - visiting historical homes.  We toured a lovely home called Beauvoir that was built in 1848 and overlooks the beach.  It was almost destroyed during hurricane Katrina and was reopened after a $4 million restoration.

The tour guide told us that this gold fabric costs over $500 per yard!  Whoa!
