I hope everyone is recovering well from the relaxing (hopefully) weekend!!

I got amazing photos sent my way – my favorite was this winner that JS sent with his lovely cousin holding up a vintage homemade Christmas stocking crafted in the early 80s.

JS & JT

Absolutely amazing!!

I was in a food coma for most of the day but took some outside photos of the LA landscape…

Today’s remake comes from a girlfriend of mine, Señorita Ana, who was inspired by the heart stitched gloves I made. I was super excited to get a few pictures sent my way while she’s been at home crafting a few pairs with a girlfriend for holiday gifts.

Gloves!!

The brilliant subject line to the photos…”making it happen. xoxo“ I couldn’t be prouder!!

Week 19: Holiday Party Prep

Dec 15, 2011 | 239 Comments

Tonight was spent prepping at TT’s for the annual holiday party I’ve been so lucky to be a part of for the past 11 or so years – it’s the shindig that was started right after we graduated from college and has been going strong each and every year since. We all dress up, bring lots of food, and get to catch up with each other. It’s a treat and it just makes me realize how lucky I am to have such good friends in my life.

Annually held at TT’s casa, I went over tonight to her place to help set up. From the strings of lights that had to be checked to make sure they were all in working condition…

Lots o'lights!

…to the garland that had to be hung evenly in the ledge above the TV…

Draping Garland!

…we had our work cut out for us!!

Happy Holidays!! I hope everyone has been enjoying the week…braving the rains, snows, crowded mall parking lots and flight delays across the country…tis the season, right?

In staying with tradition (ok, well the tradition began last year and will clearly be continuing…) I had to come up with another holiday ensemble for a dollar. This my friends was a buck and was going to be my holiday dress!!
