Picture the Holidays started this week, and here’s what I’ve got so far: Day 1: Holding onto Gratitude Day 2: Reframing the Season Day 3: All You Need is Love I am not sure what it is about the “Picture” classes, but I find I spend a lot more time in post-processing with these shots […]

It all started with a bag of apple “seconds,” a willing assistant, and a photo op. Eamonn was helping me break in our new apple peeler/corer/slicer, and I (of course) had the camera out for the occasion. “Let’s make a video,” said he, and before long we found ourselves embarking on a multi-part Flufy Makes […]

So I’ve been staring at the smiling Hershey Kiss on this garage sale travel mug for at least two years. I’ve never liked it, and I often think about scribbling over it with a Sharpie. Today I decided to take action in a much more attractive way. If you have your own straight-sided, handled cup […]

Let me share what I’ve been playing with today, because I think it’s really nifty. Paige Balcer of Shutter Sisters shared this set of Photoshop templates that can be used to make a small photo calendar. The resulting pages are the perfect size to fit inside a CD jewel case for display. Alternately, a colorful […]

I realized yesterday that I hadn’t made a millefiori cane since January. January! How did that happen? longest. dry spell. ever. So you know that small counter space I cleaned off yesterday? Well, I filled it up with clay paraphernalia. And I made myself a plaid cane using colors that I thought would complement my […]

I’m thinking I may need to have my “crafty blogger” license revoked. Not counting photography-related posts, I haven’t dedicated an entire post to anything craft-related in almost a month. A lot of that is because I haven’t done much of anything crafty. I’ve wanted to, but I’ve been stalled by the state of my craft […]

I recently took my coffeemaker off of the counter top and regained about a square foot of space. In my kitchen, that’s a big deal. It’s not that I’ve given up coffee – I still have my morning cup most days – it’s just that I’ve found a new way to make that cup, and […]

I discovered last year that I really liked cotton lawn fabric for summer – it’s so lightweight and breathable. The only problem is that it’s hard to find inexpensively. Enter Dharma Trading Company and their nice selection of unprinted fabrics. Plain white cotton lawn can be had for a fraction of the cost of the […]

I originally posted about these slushy, delicious fruity drinks back in 2007. Since then, I’ve made a few tiny changes (and taken some much nicer pictures, if we’re being honest here) and thought it was worth an update. We make these smoothies every year when the weather turns hot. They’re like Summer in a Cup! […]

Neil and I came up with this game to get our kids out of the house and running around the yard a bit. I’m calling it Backyard Bingo, but in reality it takes place all over the yard (not just in the back) and technically it’s not really Bingo, either. So it’s totally mis-named, but […]
