I should start by saying that I had no idea how simple it is to make tissue paper pom-poms/flowers/balls. (Nor did I know what to call them.) I’ve seen the festive tissue paper spheres floating over tables in magazines and blog posts (and Martha Stewart sells a kit, of course), and I’ve always assumed they …
Poor St. Patrick’s Day. While the other holidays are having crafty fun with egg dying […]

Thank goodness for the camellias now in bloom and keeping our vases full. While waiting for the roses to grow back, …
Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to make pretty things and cook fancy food! I love it […]
