2010 Christmas Cards

Posted on: January 14, 2010 Last updated on: January 8, 2026 Written by: Reese Dixon
When you go as ridiculously overboard as I do every Christmas, you can’t do it all in a month. It takes a lot of careful planning. So every year around this time, I make my Christmas cards for the Christmas…

Glittered Ornaments

Posted on: December 24, 2009 Last updated on: October 20, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
My last ornament post! Phew! This one should really barely even count as an ornament post since it’s hardly a tutorial. But I figure that Martha has done demonstration after demonstration on how to glitter something, so maybe I should…

Acorn Ornaments and Moss Balls

Posted on: December 23, 2009 Last updated on: January 10, 2026 Written by: Reese Dixon
I googled from one end of the internet to the other looking for inspiration for an acorn ornament, and I ran into the same problem every time. If you have an acorn cap, you can make loads of great stuff.…

Stuffed Bird Ornaments

Posted on: December 23, 2009 Last updated on: October 20, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
With the exception of a glittered deer I made before I thought the whole thing through, I didn’t put any animals on this tree. I was thinking about doing some cool things with faux fur, but then I decided that…

Velvet Leaves

Posted on: December 22, 2009 Last updated on: March 3, 2026 Written by: Reese Dixon
Years and years and years ago, inspired by the Carol Duvall show and all the embossed velvet projects she features, I made this garland consisting of a gazillion embossed velvet leaves I glued on to wire and braided together. When…

Twiggy Stars

Posted on: December 21, 2009 Last updated on: March 3, 2026 Written by: Reese Dixon
I still have so many ornament ideas that I’m going to have to post twice a day until Christmas, so I’m going to try and be brief. I don’t think it will surprise regular readers to hear I went overboard…

Paperclay Mushrooms

Posted on: December 19, 2009 Last updated on: October 20, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
These ornaments wouldn’t have been possible without my Halloween Swap partner Moriah. She made me the coolest paperclay monster ornaments, and ever since I got my hands on them I’ve been wanting to dive into the world of paperclay. This…

Ribbon Pinecone Ornament

Posted on: December 17, 2009 Last updated on: October 20, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
This ornament is hardly new. I’m pretty confident it’s been around for generations, in fact. But it’s a standby for a reason. It’s just so pretty! You will need: 1 medium styrofoam egg3 yards of 1/2″ ribbon (including some different…

Faux Bois Ornaments

Posted on: December 16, 2009 Last updated on: October 20, 2023 Written by: Reese Dixon
I think any crafter worth her salt keeps abreast of what Martha Stewart is up to, and if you keep even half an eye on her, you have to have seen faux bois. She seems to be on a one…

I sent a message to one friend, and then started writing an email to another friend, and then thought of other friends I wanted to include, and then finally I just gave myself a talking to. Tresa. Tree. Be Brave.…

The Social Model of Adversity

Atticus had his latest surgery this week, an operation on his knees that one of our friends and CP mentors calls “a right of passage for a CP kid.” We are home from a week in the hospital now, licking…

Productivity in the Pandemic

I had a different topic for this post in mind, but when I looked up the date and realized we’re almost through May already, I needed to toss it out for a mini-existential breakdown. Whew. Time, eh? I love hearing…

We Can Do It

I’ve spent the entire last six weeks sewing my heart out. Sustainably at first, just one project among many I’d spend my time on. A little ironing here, a little sewing there. When I started, people were still scoffing at…

There Never Was a Normal

I’ve been quieter here than I anticipated when I announced my return. Current events and a global pandemic threw all our plans up in the air and laughed. I’ve struggled with knowing exactly what to say. I’m in a very…
