Until about a year and half ago, we had two wonderful cats. (Trust me this story is going somewhere…) We got them from a shelter when we first moved to Chicago when they were six weeks old and completely adorable. They were brother and sister and we named them Yuko (left) and Hiro (right) after some friends we met in… View Post
Over the weekend, my friend Rebecca from Homemaker’s Habitat posted a picture on facebook of her family picking blueberries at a local farm. O and I are huge blueberry fans and finding a food related activity that’s safe for us to do is pretty rare, so on Sunday we packed up the car and drove about 45 minutes to northern Indiana… View Post
When it comes to crafting, I never shy away from a challenge. I have tried pretty much every craft out there. Ok, not stained glass, I haven’t tried that. (It’s sharp and scary!) But, Ukranian egg decorating using melted wax? Yep. Heat embossing? Sure! DIY lip gloss. No big deal! So when I noticed that at our friends’ houses, O… View Post
So to my eternal sadness, I am not Italian at all. Not even a tiny little bit. But I loooove pasta. I mean, who doesn’t really? (One of the saddest times of my life was then I did the South Beach diet before my wedding and couldn’t eat it. It was rough.) I have many good pasta recipes but this… View Post
About a year ago I ran across these gorgeous quilts by a Emily Fischer of Haptic Lab. A friend of mine had been ogling them since I finished them and for her birthday this weekend, I thought I’d make one just for her and document my process.She’s also a designer with architectural background I just totally loved the idea of a… View Post
We came to my hometown this weekend to visit with friends and go to the local fireworks and festival. Our town has a little carnival down by the community center that I went to every year when I was growing up. It’s no state fair, just a tilt-a-whirl, a tiny ferris wheel, a few other rides and some games to… View Post
No one in my family or my husband’s family has any food allergies. The standard recommendation for the big food allergens is wait until kids are 1 to try things like eggs, strawberries, cow’s milk, nuts etc. So when I took O in to our pediatrician, who we like very much, for his 1 yr. appointment, I asked if it… View Post
I think we all have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest. I mostly love it. But I know a lot of people think it puts too much pressure on us to have unrealistically perfect parties and outfits and living rooms. I totally get that. I’ve had a lot of luck finding great recipes and good craft ideas but I try to… View Post
If you’re here from Wine & Glue, welcome to Little Red Window! You probably already know and love Lisa and guess what? So do I! Except I actually know her in real life. We grew up in the same small-ish town and got to be good friends when we did yearbook together in high school. Look here we are! What she… View Post
Recently a good friend of mine/my downstairs neighbor had a baby. He’s pretty much the cutest baby ever. And when my baby O was born we only had one friend bring us anything to eat. Since our parents don’t live super close, we were kind of on our own. I would have killed for someone else to cook for us…. View Post
Hi, welcome to Little Red Window! I’m Cassie, mom to one extremely cute and very busy toddler, DIY addict, artist, and former architectural illustrator. Another thing not so high on my list of skills? photography. I always take a hundred pictures and hope one of them is ok. My husband is one of those people who never uses our fancy… View Post
