Dear Creative Kindred,
Welcome to this cozy little corner of the internet, where inspiration, creative chaos, and mom-life beautifully collide. I’m so glad you’re here!
This blog is a peek behind the curtain—a place where I share the stories, sparks, sketches, and sometimes the spills that come with being a designer, creator, and mother. It’s a celebration of the in-between moments: the coffee-fueled brainstorms, the color palette obsessions, the half-finished mood boards, and the tiny hands tugging at my sleeve mid-design.
Whether you’re a fellow creative, a curious client, a multitasking mama, or simply someone who appreciates thoughtful design and storytelling, you belong here. My hope is that you leave each post feeling a little more inspired, a little more connected, and a lot less alone in the messy magic of making things and motherhood.
Thanks for joining me on this colorful, ever-evolving journey. Let’s make something remarkable together.
With creativity & caffeine,
Holly K
Editor. Mother. Creator.
A Letter From The Desk Of Holly K
Project Xmas
There’s just something about the holidays that lights me up from the inside out. Maybe it’s because I was born in December. Maybe it’s because I became a mom in December. Or maybe it’s because this season has always been filled with the kind of magic you can feel in your bones — the hustle and bustle, the festive spirit, the glow of traditions old and new.
Halloween Heavyweight
For years, October became my own personal Olympics — except instead of athletes, it was DIY glue guns, thrifted props, and couples costumes that always went for the gold.
The Hutch Revival
There’s something truly magical about giving old things new purpose. Whether it’s the thrill of a thrift store find or the quiet joy of restoring a family heirloom, repurposing isn’t just about sustainability — it’s about storytelling.
