Don’t worry. I didn’t forget about Christmas. I have a pop-up greeting card for that too. See you Saturday at the Pecan [...]

November is totally booked. I’m so excited for all three events. I’d love to meet you so start making plans now and I’ll see you there! FELIZ FELIZ is going to be such a fun art weekend. Amazing vendors, artists teaching workshops, and time to mingle. I will be at the party on Friday night [...] Yesterday we had some new friends over for dinner. I failed in the mashed potato department (aka I forgot to buy potatoes and ended up using instant flakes *gag*). But I made the most tasty, moist little pumpkin cakes in their own glass jars. Darling and delicious. Now, I know it’s not earth shattering to cook tasty things [...] I am happy to announce I will be teaching a photo accordion book workshop in Austin in November. This is a great project for you folks who want to make some of your Christmas and Holiday gifts this year. The workshop is part of FELIZ, an art weekend celebrating all things handmade. There will be a party, [...] It’s the last day of 2011! Crazy. I spent most of the day Thursday packing up our Christmas decorations.

But then I had an idea (all by myself without [...] Gift card holders are my solution to not feeling so lame when I give a gift card. Admit it: sometimes you feel lame when you give a gift card.

Wasn’t Valentine’s Day more than a week ago?! Well. Yes. Here is my report on our Valentine happenings. There were decorations: Remember the autumn leaf garland we made last fall? I’m still in love with it so we did it again, this time with hearts (and I didn’t even try to make the [...] My life needed a little Valentine something and so I made this little paper heart garland. Now, I know garlands are hot right now and self explanatory. But I made a tutorial anyway. So here’s my contribution to the garland trend… HOW TO MAKE A PAPER HEART GARLAND 1. Gather supplies. I used brown kraft paper scraps, doilies, [...] Max made his valentines this year for his preschool class. He directed the entire project – I tried my best to follow orders. Max wanted me to draw a T-rex on each one. But… my T-rex skills are a little rusty and so I asked him what his second choice was. Dinos with long, long necks. Ok. [...] I guess photo books may not technically be “handmade”… but I still put them in that category. Photo books make great gifts for all occasions. My mom has made a couple in recent years that my boys just love to look at. First up: Spiral Bound pages measuring 9″ by 12″ My mom printed 4″ by 6″ [...]  |
