I learned about Society 6 from my illustrator superstar friend Luc. I decided to give it a try. You just upload your images and they take care of the rest. Easy peasy.

If you are looking for some cute gifts for xmas take a look around my shop. There are pillows, iPhone cases and framed prints for sale.

 

 

 

pretty things, nice friends

 

Our friends Jenny and Josh made us this amazing light. I kind of can’t believe it…. it’s so beautiful. It’s made from an old laundry machine drum.

We are at a stage in our home where we have lots of things started and not a lot of things done. It’s so nice to have something this beautiful to inspire us to keep going, thank you guys!!

Xmas crafting, part 2

 

I saw this idea when I was making the Xmas scene decorations (see my last post). It’s a super simple craft, you just need boxwood, a hot glue gun and embroidery hoops. I had tons of hoops lying around so I thought I would give it a try.

These were super easy to make and turned out so pretty and simple. I am going to keep a few, but I’m mostly going to give them as early Xmas presents.

 

The extra boxwood has found a home inside cookie panda, all my vases disappeared in our move… (he as always) was happy to step in to help.

Happily procrastinating…

 

After almost 6 months of renovations on an old house you can imagine our Xmas gift budget is pretty tight! This year I ‘m trying to make most of our gifts and the Xmas crafting has already begun.

Sosi and I started these on her last PD day. We ran around town gathering all the pieces and spent the afternoon happily assembling some of the jars. Her 7 year old self got distracted pretty early on and they have stayed in my studio for me to finish. Each day when I go in, I work on one or another. A button here, a bunny here. A very happy procrastination.

I found the idea here, via Loobylu on Pinterest (so much goodness!). You can find me here on Pinterest too. 🙂
