Greg and I made this cross as a baptism gift for our nephew James (since he couldn’t partake in the cross cookies). This is the Santiago cross, or cross of St. James. I love the interesting shape, but it was certainly my most difficult clay project to date! I love Das air-dry clay, though I …
Can you believe my mom decorated these super cute eggs in 1989 with paper dots from a hole punch? So amazing! Just wanted to drop in and wish you all a very wonderful Easter!
Happy Holy Saturday! Here’s a bit of last minute Easter inspiration: an egg-shaped appetizer! […]
I had big plans for posting a tutorial last night on the braided Easter egg bread that I’m making for Sunday. But then we had friends over and attempted to decorate two dozen eggs. And then we had mojitos… and wine… and dessert (with some calzones and salad, too). And then I climbed into bed …

I won’t even waste time with chit-chat: for an Irish spin on a classic dessert, simply prepare box-mix brownies using Irish Cream liqueur instead of water. If you need a dessert for a St. Patrick’s Day party, you’re just half an hour + a bottle of …
I don’t pretend to be an expert on fashion, but I do want to share my year-round outfit formula (and the rationale behind it) for flying! Packing and traveling can both be stressful, and figuring out a go-to formula has saved me time and anxiety, in addition to keeping me comfortable in some ridiculous airport …
