Holiday Window Boxes!

My window boxes for the holidays!  Maybe I need some ornaments too?

Yudu'ing

I finally have dusted off the Yudu Screen Printer that I received for Christmas last year and am attempting our holiday cards this year!  Wish me luck! 

After printing my design out on a transparency you burn it onto the screen.

A finished screen can look like this.. To use multiple colors you have to tape off the areas you don't want the color to go on.

You then place your paper (shirt or what have you) in the Yudu and roll on your color.

The finished product has lots of colors and pieces so multiple screens have been made.

The almost finished product!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

West 55th Street Holiday Lights

I used to live on West 55th Street in a building that I just loved!  The people in the building were amazing and every year the block association raises funds to light up the street!  I moved a couple of blocks uptown a little over a year ago but still make it a point to walk home via 55th Street whenever I can!

Eggnog Popsicles

I'm thinking of making the eggnog popsicles that were posted at Goop!  Now all I need to do is find a popsicle mold in December!  

Yield: a dozen popsicles

• ½ pound cream cheese
• 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 ½ teaspoons nutmeg
• 1 cup sugar
• pinch of kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons brandy
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 2 cups heavy cream whipped until just stiff

Beat the cream cheese in a standing mixer or with a whisk until completely smooth. Thoroughly stir in all of the remaining ingredients except for the whipped cream. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Fill popsicle molds with the mixture and allow to set and freeze for at least two hours (if you don’t have popsicle molds, you can use paper cups and popsicle sticks). The texture will be semifreddo-ish.

Holiday Outing!

I had a lovely time ice skating in Bryant Park with the girls from work today! Thought that I'd share some pictures from our spontaneous outing!

Winter Window Boxes

The plants in my window box are officially dead and I'm trying to figure out what to do for the winter.  Below are some ideas that have caught my eye.. Any suggestions?

I think I can use the picture above as inspiration!

Will these plants last through an east coast winter?

I love this - just need the bottles!

Wire Christmas Tree

My mother and I found these wire trees at Ikea last weekend. I think I'm going to use them for MCNY.. just not sure where or how yet!
