Decorating Dilemma | Marie – Hélène’s Kitchen
Remember Marie-Hélène? (Look! I figured out how to do the accent marks above her name. That actually came about compliments of my broken E key. I had to hold it down to coax it and realized that other E options would pop up!) Anyway, I featured her family room in a Decorating Dilemma post just […]

best of 2016
The first week in January is usually when I hit the ground running, but I’ve been in a post-holiday, pre-head-cold funk and have just wanted to curl up under a blanket and ignore the world! I’m starting to come out of that, though, and it actually helped me a lot to put this post together […]
the Kalispell barn

Seeing a beautiful scene, vignette, or a particularly photogenic item, and thinking what a lovely shot it would make. Lately, though, I’ve been seeing things through a brush. How would it look on […]

There are times when I drag my feet, lack motivation, or I’m simply not in the mood. […]
hello 2017
Well, here we are in a new year. Hello, 2017. As I’m standing here on January 2, looking out over the days ahead, I find myself a little hesitant. I’m usually ready to plow ahead, but this year is already filled with big things and a lot of unknowns. This hesitation, thankfully, is balanced with […]
Christmas 2016 recap
For the second year in a row, I actually took a break over the Christmas holidays. I did some inbox maintenance and spent a little time on business stuff here and there, but I didn’t write any blog posts and I didn’t work at the studio. I was even pretty quiet on social media. I spent […]
Christmas Song 2016 | Born is the King (It’s Christmas)
It’s become a tradition here on the Miss Mustard Seed blog to share a Christmas song. It started with me sneaking into another room and playing a song on the guitar with a camera propped on a chair. One year, Jeff and I did a duet, written by a friend of ours. Last year, I […]
