Diy projects. I have to say I love me some Christmas time, guys. As much as I hate the cold, the business at the malls once November hits, and the “ohmygoditsallover” that seems to hit me at midnight on December 25th, I seriously live for the holidays and the sweet little traditions that mean so much to me. The other day I broke out the Balsam Pine candles so that our apartment can smell like an entire pine forest and I’ve been doing small happy dances through the Christmas section at Hobby Lobby.
All of those ornaments and decorations are enough to give a girl like me heart palapations.

Tutorial: Anthropologie Inspired Fabric Letters. Here's what you'll need: -The letters: I bought the cardboard letters from Joann's. I'm sure you could get them at hobby lobby too.
-A hot glue gun and LOTS of hot glue sticks -Scotch Tape: in case your fingers get tired of being burned by the hot glue- opt for the tape. :) -Fabric: I just used some scraps I had left over from past projects and I bought a couple of fat quarters from Joann's. -Fiberfill -Backing: Now, because Anthropologie uses corduroy on their letters, I was set on using that as well. Step 1: Hot glue fiber fill to the front of your letter. Step 2: This is the most difficult part: Place your fabric on top of your letter and begin pulling it around towards the back. Step 3: You'll notice your fabric didn't quite cover up the sides. Step 4: You'll iron one side of the fabric under 1/4 inch. Step 5: Hot glue the sides you just made onto the letter, then glue it to the back. Step 8: Trace your letter onto the felt or the interfacing. Step 9: Cut out your letter from felt/fabric. Tutorials for Recycling T-Shirts. So way way back, in June, I wrote this Studio Organization post, about starting the process of organizing my studio by cleaning out the closet full of junk.

Project. I think a lot of us have a contrarian streak - a tendency to resist things that are popular, and especially things that cross the line from popular into ubiquitous. One night in December, Allen and I were driving to a barbecue place for dinner, and we passed a lot of houses decorated with white Christmas lights, and a few with colored Christmas lights, but only a couple with icicle lights - the ones that were so rampant for the last ten years or so. Not the molded plastic ones that are actually shaped like icicles, but the light strings that have smaller little strings hanging off of them. I said to Allen, "Do you think, now that those icicle lights aren't so popular anymore, they're okay for us to start using? " Allen was shocked. "You like those? " he said, indignant. "Yeah, I really like them! "No," said Allen. "What? " "Yeah, nobody uses them right.
