Egg Garland

March 20, 2013 by Barbara Rucci 4 Comments

Is it really almost Easter? I have to admit that I just took down all of the hearts around the house from Valentine’s today to make room for these cute egg garlands. (Truth be told, my Christmas cards are still in a basket in my living room. Seriously, who has time to keep up?) Holidays…

A Quilt for her 13th Birthday

January 7, 2013 by Barbara Rucci 1 Comment

My oldest turned 13 right before Christmas. I have been saving her old clothes since 1st grade for this very day! I made her a quilt a long time ago from her baby-to-kindergarten clothes, but that one was a small little doll quilt. This one was going to be big enough for her bed! She and…

DIY Simple Book from Old Holiday Cards

January 3, 2013 by Barbara Rucci 5 Comments

I never feel right about throwing Christmas cards away. There is something about personal family photos that make it impossible to just put them in the trash (especially the awkward ones).

May 25, 2012 by Barbara Rucci 1 Comment

Polish pom-pom pujaki

I’ve become a little obsessed with making a Pujaki. The word Pujaki is polish and translated it means “spiders of straw”. There is a strong folk arts & crafts tradition in Poland. In the winter, when much of the outdoor activities were suspended, Polish peasant families would spend their time preparing for on of their…

Holiday postcards from Late Night Cake

I launched my postcard company, late night cake, in October, 2011. I took photos of the postcards I had done for my own family for the past 5 or 6 years to put up on the website. (I created the website practically overnight through Shopify. Another one of my “brilliant” ideas that I had to…
