If you choose just one #thanksgivingtable craft, I’d pick the place card. Not only does it add a personal touch to the table, it allows the host to help steer connections and conversations—social media IRL. These are one of my faves from the archives...little petit four trays from @papermart painted and labeled with your guests’ names. 🦃
Confession: I am 43 years old and I’ve never hosted a #Thanksgiving or even #Friendsgiving.⠀ ⠀ I guess it’s not a life-necessity but I’ve literally been making Thanksgiving crafts, place settings, and offering advice on designing the ultimate kids table for over ten years with no real life experience. ⠀ ⠀ I wonder if I were tasked with the cooking and hosting for this epic holiday, would I take any of my own advice? ⠀ ⠀ Well, no matter, I can still revel in the magic of turning walnuts into acorns. A Thanksgiving miracle indeed!⠀ ⠀ Are you hosting this year? Do you add any special crafty touches? 🍂🌾🦃
Question for you—where is home? (Please don’t tell me where the 💛 is!)⠀ ⠀ Funny thing—I’ve lived in New York for 20 years this month. That means I’ve lived here longer than I ever lived under my parents’ roof. I’ve heard varying rules on when you can officially call yourself a New Yorker. After 8 years (random), after you switch to a NY drivers license, or who knows, maybe it’s after you accept that the first topic of conversation when you meet your friend for a drink is what subway, bus, or ferry you took to get there. ⠀ ⠀ As we’ve been prepping to go to my childhood home of Atlanta for Thanksgiving, I’ve noticed that I keep calling it “home.” Actually my 6-year-old daughter pointed it out. She asked me—why do you keep saying home when you’re talking about Atlanta? And it made me wonder if I’ve been doing that for 20 years? Or am I growing more and more nostalgic for my youth and my hometown. ⠀ ⠀ So I’m curious...what do you call home? 📷 @katiekauss ⠀ ⠀
Back in September, I got to design a craft event for @jcrew's #crewcuts store here in New York City. It was the launch of their new branding and their (always) precious fall collection. We made some cute crafts, that's for sure (look back at those felt patches!), but the trusting folks over at J. Crew also allowed me to take over the store and do with it what I wished. So we made vinyl floor stickers, we made a ribbon photobooth backdrop, and we made these cool object panels that sat all around the store, on shelves, in nooks, etc. They were meant to showcase the colors of the collection and just sort elicit smiles and feelings of youthfulness! . Now, I have these playful panels, and while I wish I had room on my walls in the workshop to hang them, instead my walls are lined in bins of the craft supplies that made them. . So I thought I'd show these to YOU, in hopes that someone will fall in love with them and want to buy them to decorate their kids room, their playroom, or their living room (no judgements). Or maybe you own a store and you need some neat-o wall hangings. They can be spaced out, lined up, or hung to look like a textural, colorful quilt like this. Ideally I would love to sell as a set, but I would also consider parting with them individually. . If you are interested in these or have any ideas as to who might be, share/tag away and comment or hit up my DM box!
Last week was election day, this week is #VeteransDay, next week is #Thanksgiving. So many days off school…the kids are psyched but how do you keep them busy? . My advice is to send them outside. Not just to run around, but also to collect craft supplies. This terrarium that I made for @parents is a fun and freeform way to play with nature and those little plastic toys that somehow just collect on every surface of your home. You know what I’m talking about, right? . How do you entertain your kids on days off of school? . 📷 @yhphotos • • • • • #crafts #kids #crafty #children #crafting #instakids #craft #artsandcrafts #diy #kid #babies #child #childrenphoto #papercrafts #ig_kids #imadethis #crafter #kidsofinstagram #fimo #clay #handcrafts #upcycle
Beautiful morning light at @shopclarev in #boerumhill. Sommer is doing some light reading while I make my birthday and Hanukkah lists 🤣
It’s #dotday at school so as I was covering Sommer in dot stickers (from @instocklabels), I thought about this fun dot-sticker art from my first book, Project Kid. Still love playing with #polkadots ! 🔵🔴⚪️⚫️⭕️ (photo by @alexandragrablewski, publishes by @artisan_books)
Halloween is over. The midterms are over. I just want to dance in a fountain! 👯‍♀️
This time, it’s not enough to get yourself to the the polls. Get 5 people to vote—make calls, send texts, play hookie and canvass. Do it like everything that’s sacred depends on it! (Because it does!) Photos from @voteyourchange
