This year my Mother, who means well, wanted to take a family photo for her Christmas cards. It seemed like a good idea, so my sister and I sat down for a little family photoshoot in September. Now. I don’t know if you’ve ever needed to get a Bouvier de Flanders and two possibly hungover […]

As part of a project exploring the great British tradition of Pantomime, I attended two different pantomimes and then drew sketches interpreting and exploring what I had seen. Here are the sketches from the excellent “Once Upon a Christmas.” You can read the review of the show here. The sketches are a mix of coloured […]
Now that the bulk of the festivities are over, I’ve finally gotten around to posting the outcome of part two of my present-wrapping extravaganza. This is what I made for my wrapping paper for Christmas in my hometown of Allentown, PA, USA. I used two of the same stamps from the UK Christmas, but they […]
The last immersive theatre adventure of the year took our theatre club to Covent Garden for a lively interactive production of “Once Upon a Christmas” by creative theatre group Look Right Look Left. The premise is a bit cheesy at best – and perfectly suited to the pantomime style of the production. The Christmas Wedding […]
Here’s some Christmas and Winter photos from my time in America. The incredibly snowy ones are from my hometown, Allentown. It’s got a bad reputation, but it is such a beautiful place if you know where to look! All the photos were shot on a Canon PowerShot SD780 IS.
Our work Christmas drinks night was festive themed this year- Christmas jumpers or elf suits. Casual. Now, I love Christmas. I also love dressing up, but I do not have any winter-y dress up clothes, no elf costume, and no ridiculous Christmas jumper. I also have no money, and no time. Rough combo. With that […]
I love Christmas design and wrapping. I normally spend a lot of time picking out the *perfect* wrapping paper for my gifts each year so that they all look like a cohesive set. However, because I have two Christmases – one slightly early in London and the other on the 25th in my hometown of […]
This the season for gingerbread lattes, red berries on sticks, trees, and getting white-girl-wasted at the company Christmas party (four checkmarks for this chick so far)– and it’s also, apparently the season for giving! Now as a personal rule, I do not purchase from UK Amazon for a variety of holier-than-thou reasons, and as a […]
Last year I made my own Christmas cards by hand and individually. It was an adventure I was able to undertake owing to my being off work with a busted foot, and an adventure I quickly realised I was *not* going to have time to replicate this year. This year I opted for handmade origins, […]
After spending the better part of, say, my entire holiday in bed with some sort of evil cold/flu/plague hybrid, I managed to cut out all the letters for the tags that I needed. I then combined the tags with the two specialty papers: Add in a bit of Washi tape, brown packing paper, and red […]
