I stumbled across Eva Juliet’s etsy store last week and simple love her artwork. Her use of color, type and design is awesome, and her work is affordable. Big win in my book for sure. View more of her work here. Cheers and Happy Monday! xo Kristi

stitch: Quilt Sneak Peek
A slew of my friends are having babies this summer, so I’ve been a busy bee on the weekends making various baby blankets. I haven’t had a chance to properly photograph the current quilt that I just completed, but wanted to post a snap shot. I am absolutely loving the pattern and color combo. It’s the perfect quilt for a summer picnic in the park, right?! Cheers! xo Kristi

stitch: Wiksten Tank Pattern Review
I made the Wiksten tank over the weekend with a fabulous print from Liberty of London (which I had purchased 3 years ago while traveling) and couldn’t believe how easy the pattern and step-by-step instructions were. Seriously, start to finish it took about 2.5 hours (due to tracing the pattern out first). Initially, I envisioned myself wearing this tank with white skinny jeans and heels, aka typical summer attire in Dallas. Once I tried it on though, I realized it was just a bit too short in the front on my frame for jeans. Happy to say though, the tank looks great tucked in to a pencil skirt!
CityCraft blogged about the Wiskten Tova Top last week, which will be my next weekend project as well. If you’re in Dallas you can purchase both patterns at CityCraft, otherwise they’re available online here. Cheers! xo Kristi
stitch: Color Block Clutch Tutorial
Color blocking has been all over pinterest lately, so I decided to make 2 color block clutches this weekend. I worked out the kinks last night with the template and the color block clutch tutorial is now ready to download.
I’m so excited to make additional clutches – the color possibilities are endless. Please send us pics of your clutches at moderndrygoods@gmail.com. Cheers! xo Kristi
swoon: Bee Things Tea Towel
I stumbled across Bee Things last year at the etsy Dallas Jingle Bash and fell in love with all of their stuff – especially their tea towels. They’re the perfect accessory to spruce up a kitchen without breaking the bank, right? Right! More can be found here. Enjoy. Cheers! Kristi
swoon: Turquoise and Red
I have been obsessing over the turquoise and red combo lately. I’m pretty certain my love for turquoise and red started at birth thanks to the yearly summer time vacations to New Mexico with the family. Over the years, it’s become a staple within my wardrobe thanks to my mom’s awesome hand me down jewelry. Regardless, I love the application of it within other mediums and had to pin my favorites.

swoon: Hot Pink Picks
I was looking at my pinterest boards the other day and realized I had been pinning a lot of items with Hot Pink. Chalk it up to the change in weather perhaps? Regardless, the items above are my favorites. And if you haven’t seen the movie Drive, watch is ASAP. It’s amazing. Cheers! xo Kristi

swoon: St.Patrick’s Day Parade Outfit
St. Patrick’s day is one of my favorite days of the year. Spring is approaching, the weather is great and everyone is in good spirits. I’ll be heading to the big Greenville Ave parade early in the morning to celebrate with friends and will be wearing a touch of kelly green and turquoise. Cheers! xo Kristi
