I was really trying to resist the massive gnome thing that’s going around the shops right now, but then I saw these napkins, with four different patterns, and I thought how nicely they’d go with our Christmas Ittaka Taika china (which we use all winter), and I just caved. I even got four little gnome […]

I don’t do a holiday gift guide (not yet! :-)), but I thought I’d mention that if you have a gardener on your holiday list, this really is a totally charming ornament, and while $30 is a bit high for an ornament, I haven’t seen anything like it anywhere else — and I looked! I

Finished up the Earth tier treat boxes and sent them out today. It’s supposed to be an autumn dragons theme — it’s still technically autumn, right? Until the solstice? Am I making that up? Shhh… This is what goes in the Earth tier this time around: • smoke marshmallow • passionfruit / dragonfruit marshmallow •

Looking for recommendations of wholesome LGBTQ+ family entertainment that I can watch with the kids. Single All the Way is a perfect example (v. sweet gay holiday rom-com), but also interested in sit-coms, dramas, etc. There’s Modern Family and Will & Grace — what else is out there?

That feeling when you want to ask your 12-year-old to take out the recycling in the ten mintues before he has to go to school, but he’s been LAUGHING DELIGHTEDLY OUT LOUD at his YouTube video for the last several minutes, and you just don’t have the heart to interrupt…

We’re shipping out at least some of the Patreon boxes tomorrow, and I am, of course, tempted to stay up late making just-one-more-thing, but I am determinedly reining in that impulse; there is PLENTY in the boxes already, hush Mary Anne. I have asked Kevin to help me go to bed at a reasonable hour

Finishing up the autumn Patreon boxes, which I’m hoping to ship out on Tuesday (let’s pretend that’s still autumn, shall we?). I try to include something new every time, and I thought these little wood discs would be nice even for people who don’t celebrate Christmas with a tree and ornaments — you could hang

This is the workout area in the basement, and it’s mostly pretty functional, and honestly, not super-inspiring. I’d love to have it look like a yoga studio — all bright light and plants, but there’s two tiny windows in there and lots of brick; it’s never going to have that kind of look, I think,
