I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve been slow to embrace the ombre trend that’s now so hugely popular. I think it’s because I spend a lot of my day job arguing that clients don’t actually need to add gradients to every. single. little. thing. And let’s be honest here — ombre is just …
Happy Fourth of July! It’s been awhile. Greg and I have been busy with lots of celebrations lately — I love it! Holidays, birthdays, showers and graduations! After today’s holiday, we’ll attend a Friday wedding, and I’ll co-host a bridal shower the following weekend. You can count on a few pretty photos from that soirée! …
A huge congratulations to all of this spring’s graduates, especially the doctors! I’m so proud of my friend Rebecca, who graduated from medical school, and my sister-in-law Michela, who graduated from optometry school! I made this myopic panda card for Michela, as she adores all things pop up (and all things cute!). The funny thing …
I don’t know many people who wouldn’t appreciate a Starbucks (or insert-your-favorite-coffee-shop) gift card! Even those of us who don’t like black coffee can find plenty of sugary things to enjoy in the ubiquitous coffee shop. But gift card giving sometimes feels a little impersonal, so this time around I added a flowery felt sleeve …
I made a felt fortune cookie for Greg. It only took two lines of stitching on a felt circle […]
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, …
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 …
Just three more days until Christmas! If I didn’t have so many handmade gifts left to finish, I’d be dying of anticipation! It’s also prime gift wrapping time, but if you’re flying across the country like us, you have to leave many unwrapped for airport security. I decided on a few easy gift toppers that …
Hi, my name is Jennifer, and I’m not addicted to coffee. But I’m sure that at least 50% of my dear readers are! And even though coffee isn’t really my thing (rather than waking me up, it gives me flashbacks to all-nighters in college), I decorated with coffee at my wedding reception. What’s more exciting, …
Our goddaughter Emmerson was baptized this weekend! The baptism service was followed by a party at a nearby park — the perfect occasion to put several previous Seakettle projects to use! I made a batch of Oreo truffle pops (note for the future: they get a bit soft outside in warm weather!). I used Hostess …
