I have been secretly making Eric's Christmas present for quite a while and I can FINALLY share it with you guys! As artsy fartsy people, we tend to make each other presents. Eric actually gave me the idea for this one. During one dinner he was using one of the puppets to convince Iris to… Continue reading Finally!
What do you do when you are bored? I have this bad habit of updating my shopping list with many things that we don't really need. For example; I woke up early the other day. I grabbed my phone and for some reason I had to check how much it would cost to fly out… Continue reading Ready, set, ACCESSORIZE!
This week I have a completed project to show though it's scope is somewhat less... ambitious than usual. This time I cut, inked and mounted a wearable paper cut. Overall the process was mostly the same, except smaller, and a lot harder since I'm on cold medicine. This is the full cut before being put… Continue reading Giftin’
I decorated! I love decorating! Ok so, to be honest, I totally had most of this stuff up before Thanksgiving. Don't judge me! I get excited! There really isn't much to say other than I am super surprised and proud that Iris hasn't knocked everything down yet. Yet being the key word here. We got… Continue reading Tis’ the Season!

Still I've been more busy with general housework than with actual projects so I'll just show a few of the works in progress and the other random bits I have around the desk. I've been working here and there on another paper cut.… Continue reading And then we miss one
Last week was our 100th post, which is great. With the holiday come and gone and a few house projects wrapping up I don't have a lot of images to share this week. Instead I thought I'd go over our dinner for this evening. Tonight we made Chicken with Thai peanut sauce. To follow along… Continue reading Not yet 150 but still good.
I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving! We had quite an interesting Thanksgiving morning preparing the turkey.... well... I will let you see for yourselves: Yeah that's my mom and Eric hair drying our turkey. It's hair was just not voluminous enough. No but for realz, our turkey lurkey wasn't thawed the whole way and… Continue reading Complementary Colors
You know when you have a thousand projects that you want to get accomplished by a certain date? Yeah, that's what I am going through riiiiiight now. As of yesterday I crossed something off my to do list- I finished some new classroom friends... I call them: COLOR BUDDIES! These puppets are intended to be… Continue reading Color Buddies!
And two days later here we are again. Lots going on. Lots. No wait no. The opposite of lots. What I do have to share are a few pieces that I have in progress. I'm working at a lot smaller of a scale this week so I was actually able to design and cut this… Continue reading Fire gone
This week I've been trying to learn how to ink with brushes. The results have been questionable, but I still thought I would share. To get to the finished product though I started with a little draft. So what if it's on the outside of an insurance bill. Paper is paper. After that I… Continue reading Brushes
