Something is refreshing about opening a drawer and seeing it perfectly organized. Some call it anal-retentive, others call it obsessive-compulsive as if it were a bad thing, and I simply call it bliss. We all have our foibles, but how can you find fault with one that looks so good and makes finding items easy?
The holiday season is here, and Winter weather is settling in for many of us. The cooler weather and the thoughts of upcoming celebrations lead many of us to think about sinfully scrumptious foods that warm our hearts and souls. My favorite dishes, bread stuffing, bread pudding, my Dad’s oven-baked applesauce, and green bean casserole, bring back memories of family celebrations and make me pull out my most treasured casserole dishes to begin planning. Yes, just like I pick my outfits based on what shoes I want to wear, serving dishes often dictate the holiday menu at our house. I consider myself a foodie, so the right menu is essential, but I am first and foremost a visual creative, and how a meal looks and is served is at least fifty percent of my holiday experience. I also enjoy when form and function come together beautifully, and this project ticked all those boxes.
Warm your Valentine’s hearts this Valentine’s Day with microwave, heat packs filled with jasmine rice. Not only are they useful for soothing aches and pains, but they provide an opportunity to include memorable fabrics from family members who have passed that will soothe souls as well.
