four things | twelve (Christmas edition)
This will be my final Four Things of the year since I will take a few weeks off for Christmas break. If you’ve been reading my blog, you might remember that I used to post every single day – Christmas Day, on vacation, after surgery, when I was sick. It was a little crazy, but […]
Christmas dining room 2024
This year, I focused my Christmas decorating on our home’s three public (and most used) rooms – the kitchen, living room, and dining room. Some years, I will add decor to the bedrooms, bathrooms, or my studio, but I decided to keep it simple. I enjoyed decorating the kitchen and living room this year, but […]
Christmas Kitchen 2024
I shared our Christmas living room 2024 yesterday and, if you missed it, you can see it in THIS POST. Today, I’m giving a little tour of the kitchen and eating area. Last year was the first year I had the chance to decorate our newly-renovated kitchen for Christmas, so I had a great time […]

Sunday afternoon I dropped my palette paint-side-down on the floor. Less than an hour later, I put a hoodie in the wash (because I […]
Christmas tree in an antique laundry basket
When I shared about using presents as part of Christmas decorations yesterday, several people asked here and on Instagram about two things: How did I get the Christmas tree to stand up in the antique French laundry basket, and where is the antique goat cart? So, let’s talk about those two things. First of all, […]
presents are a part of Christmas decor
I am a multitasker to my core. I like flitting from one thing to the next, but I also seem to work at my best when I’m juggling a few things. As a part of being a multitasker, I’m always looking for ways to make the things I have and do work in more ways […]
Society6 prints & paper sale
For those interested in prints, wrapping papers, and cards, I added a few new designs to my Society6 shop and most of my products are currently 50% off! One of my newest prints is this pair of rabbits… I didn’t add any new paper designs this year (time got away from me), but papers I […]
