    The other day, my old roommate Sarah texted me to tell me she was needing some soup recipes. When we lived in Lawrence, Kansas, that’s all I ate! Well, that plus hummus. It was so easy to have a big pot of soup simmering on the stove, and when guests came over, they were ableContinue…

    The other day, my old roommate Sarah texted me to tell me she was needing some soup recipes. When we lived in Lawrence, Kansas, that’s all I ate! Well, that plus hummus. It was so easy to have a big pot of soup simmering on the stove, and when guests came over, they were able to eat their fill.

    I looked through my collection and realized that I really only made one kind of soup: incredibly easy minestrone. Then I thought perhaps Sarah isn’t the only one who could use a little minestrone in her life, thus this recipe card:

    Minestrone Recipe

    My second favorite soup to make, and probably the tastiest, is Tamale Soup from Follow Your Heart’s Vegetarian Soup Cookbook. It’s creamy and delicious, though not very brothy!

    For your printing convenience, I have included a PDF that you can simply print out (preferably on heavy white paper) and stick in your recipe book or box! Cards print out as 5″x7″. Stay warm during the impending cold days with these tasty Printable Soup Recipes!

    Once upon a time, I had a blog and, like yours totally evolved from one thing into another. I miss blogging and maybe someday I’ll return to it. I enjoyed seeing your first post lol, and you’ve come a long way. I’ve been reading your blog for a few months, and it’s one of my favorites!

It’s *crazy* how much my Fridays have changed si It’s *crazy* how much my Fridays have changed since this song — Rebecca Black’s “Friday” — came out in 2011. I was in my last semester at the University of Kansas then, enjoying a pretty open schedule and minimal responsibilities (though, of course, I didn’t realize that at the time). At around 8:30 PM, the makeup application would begin, and the night would end at around 2:00 AM. And now? At 8:30 PM, we’re scrambling to get the kids to bed to “keep up the weekday routine”! Any makeup is certainly OFF by that time, and you will never, ever see me out anywhere past 7:00 PM or so on any day, including Friday. It’s amazing how much having young children modifies your schedule!

One thing has remained constant since 2011, though: I love the freedom of a Friday and knowing that there’s no place anyone has to be the next day. That feeling of “it’s okay to sleep in” (even if my toddler will make sure that one or both of her parents are up at 7:00 AM, thank you very much)! Whether you’re in a “Lindsey in 2011” stage, a “Lindsey in 2023” stage, or somewhere in between: HAPPY FRIDAY! 🥳

(Real time video of creating this calligraphy is on YouTube — link in profile.)

Making the wreath from the TPK Holiday Calligraphy Making the wreath from the TPK Holiday Calligraphy Worksheet 2019 Edition (link in profile). Obviously, this is a time lapse ... in reality, the wreath takes around 10-15 relaxing minutes to make. It’s a gorgeous way to embellish a gift tag or mail art! Check out the worksheet for instructions over how to make this wreath, flourished phrases, and a fun watercolor spatter Christmas tree!

Time lapse video of making anniversary gift artwor Time lapse video of making anniversary gift artwork! There’s nothing more satisfying than filling in black and white illustrations with watercolor. If you attempt artwork like this, though, allllways make sure you’re using waterproof ink. It’s a nasty surprise when you’ve spent a lot of time drawing, only to find that the ink bleeds when it comes in contact with watercolor! (I use Ziller Soot Black ink for all of my ink + watercolor projects. For artwork that I want to be archival, I always use @greenleafblue watercolors!)

For a detailed tutorial that shows you how to make something like this, visit the link in my profile! This particular artwork was created for someone’s anniversary — but it would make a great holiday gift for any couple as well. 🎄

@nicong.co just wrote the *coolest* holiday-themed @nicong.co just wrote the *coolest* holiday-themed tutorial for the TPK Blog (🤗 link in profile!!). In it, he shows us how to make fabulous gold lettering on black cardstock that’s enhanced by a bright white ornament motif. 🎄 I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t send you straight to your desk for some artistic fun this weekend! Thanks so much to Nico for another awesome creation (and detailed instructions over how to make it)!

This is the perfect #throwbackthursday reel becaus This is the perfect #throwbackthursday reel because I’m still glowing 🌟  from this compliment a couple of years after I received it (thanks again, @toni.blackmore)! It resonates because I know exactly what Toni is saying: it’s such an amazing feeling when you discover content that makes you feel happy, cozy, at ease, and inspired.

The easiest way to get your TPK hygge fix is to peruse the Blog (link in profile). That acts as a launching point to discover tutorials, free worksheets, and useful information. People also love the video courses on the site — what can I say? My Kansas drawl is, evidently, both soothing and informative. Anyway, pick what makes you feel good, and ENJOY! It’s all there for you. 🤗
