I got a ukulele this summer, and I’ve been having so much fun learning to play. My piano fingers aren’t quite used to all this awkward contorting yet, but I love being able to cuddle up on the couch with my uke instead of perching on a hard piano bench. I can’t cross “learn to [...]
Would you believe I’ve never done a DIY ornament post? So weird! This is an easy one, and it would make a cute gift. All you need is a boring ornament you want to monogram-ize, puffy paint, and spray paint. If you choose a matte finish ornament like I did, you can draw your design straight [...]
I nearly forgot about Christmastime while we were on our trip, so when we got back I asked Daniel to help me put the tree up first thing. While listening to good ol’ Bing of course! The dogs even get excited when we pull out the boxes of decorations and give them their Christmas toys. [...]
I’ve been working on my holiday cards this week—figuring out which designs from last year I’m keeping, and coming up with some new offerings too. I’m pondering making this sketch into a postcard printed on heavy brown kraft card stock. I think someone might like to send Christmas postcards rather than traditional folded cards with [...]

Peanut Butter Balls are my holiday go to, but my recipe makes a zillion and calls for an entire pound of butter (no wonder I start every new year with muffin top). After a little experimenting I’ve found the [...]

I don’t even have a good excuse either, since I make and sell holiday cards! Usually by the time I finish [...]
Here are some of the sketches I did while creating this year’s holiday cards. Maybe I should work on my 2012 holiday cards now, that way I won’t have to get into the Christmas spirit in July again!

I’m signing off until the New Year. It’s time to sit back and enjoy the decorations. Have the Merriest Christmas ever!
Santa gets all the credit, but I’ll bet Mrs. Claus does all the work! 1 In-A-Moment Dress from Anthropologie 2 Full-Of-Light Necklace from Anthropologie 3 Pierre Dumas Elvis Boot from Piperlime 4 Topiary Hat from Anthropologie 5 Fingerless Cable Gloves from Forever21 6 Wool Military Coat from Express
