Here’s my second new Christmas decoration, this time it’s a crafty one! I always seem to focus on our kitchen table centerpiece as something I want to change up every year for Christmas. Maybe because we never eat at the table (we have an island we sit at for meals) so the centerpiece is alwaysContinue reading “Christmas Decor, part 2: Teeny Tiny Tree”

Work from Home Christmas Vibe
A great part about working from home is you can blast whatever music you want and, since it’s the holiday season, I’ve been jammin’ to tons of Christmas music lately. Well, my dad tweeted this tune earlier today and I had my USB Christmas Tree plugged into my laptop and it was so Christmas-y as I listened thatContinue reading “Work from Home Christmas Vibe”

We had already found a great orange flower-ed chair for the desk in the room. And then I realized this orange isContinue reading “Orange Throw Blanket”
Sweet Silhouette
We visited a silhouette artist a couple weeks ago and in about 2 minutes we had this cute cut-out of our sweet baby girl’s silhouette, with her little curls and all. The artist just sat there – looking at her profile and cut free form with sharp scissors. What an interesting talent! This weekend IContinue reading “Sweet Silhouette”
Office Chair Reupholster

I went to a little fabric shop down the street and foundContinue reading “Office Chair Reupholster”
