A Year of Parties {2012}
I hope you’re not sick of round-up posts yet {smile}. Today I’m taking a look back at the parties I hosted this year. In the first few months of the year, I hosted a soup swap, a camo party for Luke and Lila’s birthday, a favorite things party for Kennedy’s birthday, a green eggs and […]
A Year of Sewing {2012}
I’m continuing my peek back at the year. Yesterday I shared the year’s knitting projects and today I’m reviewing the sewing projects of 2012. For the kids, Kennedy sewed a felt piggy bank {with only the tiniest bit of help from me}, and I sewed Christmas pajamas, a doll carrier, a top secret spy journal […]
A Year of Knitting {2012}
The end of a year always makes me want to look back and remember. I thought it might be fun to look at some of the projects I’ve completed this year … and I’m taking you along with me! I only completed nine knitting projects in 2012 and they were all fairly […]
Christmas Pajamas for Five
Every year I sew Christmas pajamas for the kids. They get them on Christmas Eve and then we have cute photos on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with five coordinating kids. I’ve been doing it for years and it’s a tradition that I love. This year I decided to use up some of the fabric […]
Oliver + S :: Doll/Bear Carrier
If you follow Dukes and Duchesses on facebook you’ll know that I was sewing one final Christmas gift this weekend. I made Tate a doll/bear carrier from the book Little Things to Sew. {I love this book! So far I’ve only sewn a bib and hats but I’m hoping to tackle more projects in the […]
A Painted Hallway and Tips on Paint Coverage
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you might remember that we painted our entire downstairs a latte color and then decided that we really needed to add some color. We’ve since added some pops of color throughout the house and I really feel like our style is coming through. Despite a lot […]
Santa Belt Gift Wrap
Remember a few weeks ago when I shared my morning coffee routine? Well, I may have a problem. That entire bag of Holiday Blend coffee is gone and I’m on to a new batch. I love my coffee. And this time I’m packaging it with a little Santa belt gift wrap. This time around I […]
A Christmas Home Tour
This December I climbed into the attic to start dragging out the Christmas decorations and I stopped after just a few things. I decided to have a casual Christmas with a mix of new and old and a few upcycled pieces. Let me give you a little Christmas home tour. I couldn’t leave my vintage […]
A Christmas Party {and a Mulled Wine Recipe}
This weekend we hosted an open house with friends and family. I treasured seeing the faces of loved ones and I was so thankful that we had the opportunity to gather around and enjoy each other. And I served a mulled wine recipe that was a big hit and a new favorite for us! I […]
Magic Cookie Bars Recipe
This magic cookie bars recipe is an absolute favorite of ours. Growing up, it was the most requested recipe in our house and one that my Mom always made during the holiday season. It’s definitely not a holidays-only recipe though. This sweet bar recipe is super easy and the perfect treat anytime! How to Make […]
Homemade Gifts :: Stitched Mason Jar Labels
I have a friend who is a creative, gardening, canning type of girl. She lives in the Okanagan Valley, grows a beautiful garden, picks fruit from the trees, and often cans a pantry full of goodies. When I saw these adorable stitched mason jar labels, I thought it would make a fun homemade gift for her birthday. […]
A Duct Tape Christmas Tree
We have a small Christmas tree with colorful lights and I like to set it up in our gameroom and decorate it in a kid-friendly style. One year we decorated it with a pom pom garland and one year the kids covered it in toys and silly string. This year we made a duct tape […]
