It’s January first of a new year! Everyone is filling in their 2019 planners with goals and dreams and ideas, and I’m just over here dressed up like one! WEEEE! This DIY (and super easy) planner costume is part of a new idea and project that I am kicking off today! I am embarking on a little creative journey to make one costume per month: something playful and funny and something that stretches my creativity each time I sit down to sketch. Maybe I try new materials or processes. Maybe I make ... continue reading...
The best day of the year : our annual Christmas tree hunting day!
Every year, the day after Thanksgiving, I spring out of bed humming “Jingle Bells” while I count down the minutes until everyone else wakes up for the day!

It was an invitation. An invitation to let my creativity be explored and my imagination jump out of my heart onto a sewing machine. I set up a phone call the next morning with the team that works ... continue reading...
Halloween + Hotel Transylvania movie night
I have a little secret about the latest Hotel Transylvania 3 movie, but I can't share just quiiiiite yet. But what I CAN say is that there is a special place in my heart for this movie. Not only is it Halloweeny and supppppper fun for this time of the year, BUT I totally *love* the moral of the ending (spoiler alert) because it drives home the point that not matter who you are, where you come from, what you look like or whether you are a human or a monster, you deserve to be loved and accepted. ... continue reading...
