Holiday Gift Guide

I am having such a hard time this year spending money on gifts, or really anything for that matter (other than Parmigiano Reggiano and maybe a little Cowgirl Creamery Mt. Tam).  Inherently, I am a gift giver.  I like to make people happy.  I've composed a list of things that I wish I could buy for people and things that I think I actually will make for people.

Buy (I wish):

Maya Brenner State Necklaces 

Playful Learning Writing Caddy

Playful Learning "The Botanist Kit"

Verabel Hippy Owl Art Locket

Rifle Paper Company "Heirloom Recipe Card Box" and "Recipe Cards"

Make:

  

Design Sponge Wool Throw

The Eleventh Hour Scarf

Transparent Boutique Soap

Ruffled "Butterfly Connection Pillow"

Sew Mama Sew's "Little Pink House"

And finally, I will try to make food gifts look really amazing like this...

(Anybody have a really good granola recipe?)

Good luck this holiday season being crafty and creative!

Thanksgiving Break

I've decided to start taking more photos (as of 10 minutes ago).  Good thing I walked by my kitchen window to make some tea and saw this beautiful scene.  Here is the first photo I took after this decision (about 9 minutes ago).

 Then I took this one, to get the whole tree.

Pretty sunrises are indeed something to be thankful for, along with waking up on a Wednesday morning at 6:45, instead of 5.  Yippee!  Here's to a great Thanksgiving...
