Analog Living

One of my fav rabbit holes: tiny house browsing. Own a 12x40 house & love every square foot of it. But this cabin from Craft Houses? Check those photos out! Solar-powered, no loft, all on one floor. It's giving cozy retreat energy & honestly, I wish I'd gone this route. Only if I had money!

I should start making my own butter. Heavy cream, yogurt, a stand mixer — that’s really all it takes. Let it ferment overnight, whip it up, rinse it, done. The possibilities go beyond plain: garlic herb, honey, whatever I’m in the mood for. Can you imagine me doing this? It should be fun, right?

This French tiny home is a total fairytale. The artisanal woodwork and cozy lounge nook make it feel so magical. It is incredible how they fit two lofts and a huge kitchen into such a functional design. It looks like the perfect, unique escape. Link 🔗

Paris spent a decade ripping out car lanes and replacing them with 550km of bike paths, pedestrian squares, and actual trees — one of the most ambitious urban transformations on the planet. The results are real. Amazing! The hard part now is keeping that momentum going after Hidalgo leaves office.

Meet Gizmo.

Started this yesterday. Finished it this morning. 1,125 pieces and one very good boy sitting on my desk.

LEGO Ideas #069 from the Gremlins universe. Those ears. Those eyes. Honestly one of the most satisfying builds I've done in a while.

"Three rules. Keep him away from bright light. Don't get him wet. And no matter what you do — never feed him after midnight."

I followed all three. He turned out perfect. No room in a tiny house for regrets — just Gizmo on the shelf. 🧱

It’s all done, and it looks really adorable! I decided not to include the 3D glasses with it.

Another one is cute, a frog! Great for another fun project! Check it out.

Robots Freak Me Out (And Other Things I Was Wrong About)

I actually got the LEGO Plum Blossom set this past Christmas, but I finally pulled the trigger on the build two weeks ago. I was so excited to get into it, and it's been sitting on my shelf ever since, looking cheerful in all its plastic glory.

But as I was looking at those red petals, I realized I've been eyeing the new LEGO Icons Ford Model T set that launched earlier this week. It's a 1,060-piece tribute to the car that changed the world in 1913. It took me back to my teenage years when I used to collect antique Hot Wheels models. I still have them, and there's something about holding a miniature version of a 100-year-old machine that makes history feel tangible.
