Monogram Mugs
Friends! I’m so pleased to share our first gift DIY of the season. Maude made these fantastic monogrammed mugs over the weekend. Don’t they look terrific? The idea came when we saw these fun initial cups at Anthropologie and remembered our kitchen was lacking in hot cocoa mugs. We decided to create a whole set. It’s a very doable project. 1) We started with a trip to Goodwill, where we collected 8 plain white mugs. 2) Then we gathered supplies. For the font, I had something very specific in mind. 3) Cut out an initial and a piece of transfer paper. 4) Trace the initial. 5) Take your Porcelaine pen and trace over the lines of the initial. 6) Once the lettering is done, let the mugs sit for 24 hours. 7) And that’s it! The project turned out so well that it has my mind spinning with other possibilities. What do you think? Need more sibling gift ideas?

DIY: No Sew Fabric Applique Monogram
This project has been sitting around my living room waiting to get done for the last couple of weeks. I was constantly walking past it thinking today is the day it would get done, but work always got in the way. After my shower I had a lot of extra Heat and Bond Ultra Hold and even more emails asking for me details on the onesie/bib decorating station. So instead of making a tutorial with a onesie I decided to make a design related post to keep everyone interested. This project took at most 1 hr and I was able to do it all alone without shouting SOS for Jon’s help. I have always loved the look of Leontine Linen’s Abigail fabric applique monogram:

Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies
***Last Friday night, Brad and I got an invite to an impromptu dinner party...What fun! We were both excited, and of course, I immediately started to think about what I could take along for dessert. I was in the mood for cookies, but not the same-ole', same-ole' variety. I wanted to try something new, but using the ingredients that I had on-hand was a necessity. A trip to the grocery store was not in the cards if I wanted to be on time.
