Succulent Christmas Tree
Even though I love the look of themed Christmas trees, Greg and I have so many sentimental ornaments […]

Chalkboard Chargers
They’re like crayons and a paper tablecloth, but prettier! You may have noticed these peeking out on our Thanksgiving table post. At the (very) last minute, Greg and I spray-painted plastic chargers with chalkboard paint to add to our holiday table. I wrote the name of a guest on each charger and then tucked them …
Pumpkin Calavera
All Souls Day (today) coincides with the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead. In honor of Greg’s Mexican heritage (Did you know my blond husband is 1/4 Mexican!?), he carved a pumpkin skull to match the fantastic graphic style associated with Day of the Dead celebrations. The skeleton depictions associated …
Happy Halloween!
Greg and I had a bit of red felt and enthusiasm left after our Aladdin costumes, so we put together a quick costume for Pixel.

Blue and Yellow Wedding
My family had a jam-packed (literally! marionberry jam.) and fabulous holiday weekend, celebrating as my brother, Jason, married his love, Michela! Their intimate wedding ceremony took place on the Oregon coast followed by pizza, kite-flying and a beach bonfire. They were just so cute and sweet and happy. I helped out with the wedding decorations …
Paper Rosette Banner
Paper rosettes are popping up in parties everywhere, but I was finally convinced to make my own after swooning over a wedding dessert table! I didn’t want to do quite such an installation at my Baseball Baby Shower, however, because I wanted to send my friend home with something she could hang in her nursery! …
Fabric Appliques
Using scraps of fabric and iron-on fusible webbing is an easy way to decorate tops and tote bags! […]
Root Root Root
… for the home team! So said the tiny flags attached to favors at the Baseball Baby Shower. Since they’re the only component of the favor that can’t be picked up at your local grocer, I wanted to share the template. Just print this PDF onto card stock and cut! I wanted the flags’ black …
