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 War Rooms are rooms in an underground bunker that hosted Winston Churchill and his government in a (somewhat) bomb-proof area during the Second World War. They were used for information gathering, meetings, and also living […]
A while ago I went on a domestic binge and decided to hand sew pillowcases for the odd shaped pillows in the house. At the time, I never got further than the purchasing of material. This is not a huge surprise. But finally, a full pillowcase has been sewn! Got to this step without photo […]
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 […]
