Perhaps the thing I most look forward to during the holidays is Cookiepalooza.  It’s a night in December where Susie and I get together with two of our other sisters, Caitlin and Nono, to bake cookies.  There’s always a lot of discussion leading up to the “event” about what cookies will make the roster that [...]

Who says coasters are only for putting a beverage on?  We’ve been having fun using coasters in creative ways, like using them to create a big Christmas wreath like the one in the picture above. We created this using coasters all in a red and white motif.

It’s easy to do.  Just cut a donut shape [...]

Our good friend Carol is the creator of Craft in America, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to the exploration, preservation and celebration of craft. Through the Craft in America organization, Carol has produced a [...]

Today, I brought most of the gifts to the studio to use our [...]

Friday night Heidi and I, and our friend Deneen, took time out from this crazy holiday season, to take a crafty class at the fabulous Home Ec store in Silver Lake.  We have been so curious about needle felting and this class did not disappoint! We had so much fun. Home Ec is a super [...]

Last week, I came home from work to find my husband, Will, waiting for me at the front door. He was grinning ear-to-ear and I could tell he was excited to show me something. That something was a wreath he had made out of scraps of wood left over from a workshop project [...]
