What I've cooked.
What I've grown.
What I've made.
Another year is winding down. And this post makes me appreciate all my friends in blog land- thanks to you I always have great ideas for projects at the click of a mouse. I have enjoyed seeing what you all have created, grown and cooked over the years. You help me keep the creative juices flowing- whether I need a good book suggestion or a a recipe- I always know where to go.
So here's to another creative year!
We're off to Italy!
Happy holidays to all of you, my blogging friends. And I hope you have a wonderful new year!
Ciao!
Lovely Christmas cottage by Magpie Ethel.
If you are a geek like me you have already perused the "Christmas Bokeh" section of Flickr... I highly recommend it.
I love seeing people's homes all decked out for the holidays, don't you? I like the idea of putting so many lights on my house that it's visible from space. What I can't get into however is the lugging of the twelve huge storage bins up from the basement. So, alas, we have a tree and are calling it good.
So do you guys go all out and decorate your houses inside and out? Does your electric bill triple during the month of December? Do you have baubles and snowmen and tinsel in every room in your house?
Ever since I saw this post on Ella's blog, I knew this was something Beanie would love. Using this pen she created an awesome gift. Care to give it a try? Look at this for some cool ideas.
We're on a roll over here.
I save everything. Bottle caps, wine corks, plastic flowers, beads, paperclips, wire...birds from the dollar store...I never know when I'm going to need this stuff. Pack rat? Yes, but I always have junk when I need it!
My grandmother made the nest there in the center and I always loved it. Mine, however, are bird's nests on steroids.
Glittery plastic flowers. Check.
Spray glitter. Check.
Butterflies and Birds. Check.
Hot glue gun. Oh baby. Check.
I'm so inspired by all you crafty people, making such cool things this season. I love visiting you guys and seeing what you're making! So if you're in need of some crafty holiday inspiration yourself try this list. And if you want to sneak away for a moment to recharge that warm & cozy holiday feeling, go here. Liesl's collage of photos makes me want to quit my job and move to rural Montana.
Cheers!
