Growing up, I was always happiest sitting at the table with crayons or pencils - so much so that, because I didn't have a middle name, I spent a great deal of effort trying to convince my parents to legally change my name to "Angela Artist." Fortunately my parents suggested I wait until I was older to make that decision (by then, of course, I had changed my mind), but they did get me a set of personalized pencils emblazoned with my unofficial "full" name. As a teenager, I spent hours ... View the Post

{decorating with style} A Colorful Embroidery Hoop Window Display
A few months ago, I was walking down the quaint street of shops and restaurants in the middle of my neighborhood when a colorful display in the window of a consignment clothing store caught my eye. I snapped a picture for Instagram, and then as I walked home I started thinking about how fun it would be to create a similar display in my own house. So I did... I love modern design, and lots of color! Our main floor is decorated in a cool color palette of gray and teal {two of my favorite ... View the Post
Sample Page
This is an example page. It's different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this: Hi there! I'm a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin' caught in the rain.) ...or something like ... View the Post

The Best Pomegranate Guacamole
I love to cook, but I'm typically more of a recipe follower than a recipe maker. About a decade ago, I tried pomegranate guacamole for the first time - made by none other than Dean Martin's youngest daughter, Gina. I asked her for the recipe, but when she sent it over to me, it was for her regular guac, not the pomegranate version. I tried simply adding pomegranate seeds to the recipe she gave me, but it wasn't right. I couldn't bring myself to bug her for the recipe for a second time, so I ... View the Post
