Two Artists in our Home.

When you get two artists living together ... EVERYTHiNG ... becomes art. That being said. For Christmas every year we do a color theme. This year we choose black and white. And the labels went on the back ... to stick with the color theme. A few years ago we decided on a tinsel tree ... in our efforts to go green.



Since (nyk-lectic) was only established this year. Here are the photos of the color theme last year.



We have already decided the colors for next year ... but you'll have to wait and see. Happy Holidays.

Cozy New Mittens.

I have been so cold ... so I made myself some mittens. I used a lightweight flannel so I can still use my hands when they are on. And again ... I have to toot my horn a little ... because I made these from my Japanese sewing book. I had to make three mittens until I finally figured it out. Next time I will show a photo of the pattern. Stay Warm.

Lemondrops and Bluebirds.

I got this new journal from my mom ... and I love it. It is refreshing to write in something so artsy. And all the little details are mesmerizing. The artist is the talented Grady McFerrin. And you can pick one up for yourself here.
