Irish Flag Cake
St. Patrick’s Day is just a week away, but there’s still plenty of time to whip up a pretty Irish flag cake […]
Oreo Bark
I love, love, love Oreos. Highlight of my junior prom? Not my date or my shoes or the venue, but the Oreo cheesecake. And while I’m still searching for another Oreo cheesecake that can live up to my memory, the Oreo truffles and Oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies I’ve made are both fantastic. This Oreo treat …
Paper Flower Wreath
I’ve made a couple of these butcher paper wreaths, and I just love them! Despite the elegant appearance of the finished product, the steps are very basic. It’s the perfect project to work on during a movie (and it will even be finished by the time the movie is over!). You only need butcher paper, …
Valentine Treats
I made a felt fortune cookie for Greg. It only took two lines of stitching on a felt circle […]
The Luckiest
I love typographic decor, from 3D letters to Helvetica prints to letterpress pieces. When I spotted a wire word wrapped in yarn over on Family Chic, I immediately knew I’d have to try it. We can only have so many J’s and G’s decorating our house, after all! This Christmas, I finally had the word, …
Super Bowl XLVI
Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I hope you’re headed to (or hosting) a football bash tonight. (Wait, this afternoon!? Silly California.)

We made a few brownies and dipped pretzel sticks to bring …
Christmas Gift Round Up
Valentine’s Day is approaching, and I still have several Christmas craft projects to share! I won’t be writing tutorials on every single one of these, so I thought a quick summary would be nice. First up, is a candle holder for my brother and his wife. You might recognize the piece of wood from his …
Bird Seed Snowman
In honor of the week’s snow storms, I have a snowman you can make from the comfort of your warm and toasty home. Your feathered friends will love you for it! But then you should head outside to make a real one — you know, for those of us who will go without! Greg and …

A Little Christmas
I hate taking down Christmas decorations. Ours are going to stay up for a while longer (it’s only the 9th day of Christmas, after all), but I’m still dreading the imminent boxing-up and cleaning-up that signifies the end of a holiday in the same way that a long and tiring drive home signifies the end …
