I had the idea that cheesecake with a phyllo crust would be really delicious for a holiday dessert. I asked a friend if she'd ever tried this before. She said no, but that it sounded delicious and would be great with honey and pistachios. So here is the recipe inspired by that conversation.
It's a bit different than traditional cheesecake, and the filling is lighter and fluffier. Topped with pistachios and a honey marmalade glaze, it's gorgeous! And it certainly does not take as long to bake as traditional cheesecake.
I really wanted to continue my trend of mini, party-sized desserts with this recipe, but the grocery store didn't cooperate. I went to purchase the frozen mini phyllo cups that I've seen many times in the frozen food aisle and this time they were conveniently sold out. I've still included instructions for how do bake the cheesecakes that way, but also as a full-sized pie, as that is how I had to prepare the recipe.

Dollar Store Crafts has lots of really great, reader-submitted holiday decorating ideas, including these two that really piqued my interest.
Mitten Garland
I'm heading over to the local thrift store to look for old wool sweaters and scarves to make this! We're working on a Dr. Seuss-inspired tree this year, and I think maybe a bright, fuzzy Lorax garland could be just what the tree needs.
 |  |
These Peppermint Candy Wreaths are really cute, too!
And so are these Sweater Trees.
So many great ideas for reusing and recycling, along with being just plain thrifty. I've already cut up last year's Christmas cards and turned them into homemade gift tags, but finding these awesome projects has me really motivated to start the holiday decorating, creating, and recycling. Happy Holidaze!

"Bit" is a character from the 1982 Disney movie, Tron. Considered by some to be the first CGI character in a movie, Bit communicates by speaking only "yes" or "no." The orange shape above is the form Bit takes when answering "yes". The spiky red shape is the form when answering "no" and the blue shape is Bit's "neutral" form when not speaking.
Even though this is the fifth papercraft design I have released, it was actually one of my first designs. Development of the design took a little longer partially because it is actually three models, but also because it took some time to create simplified templates for the complex geometry. For those out there who care about such things, the "yes" Bit is a octahedron, the "neutral" Bit is a compound of a icosahedron and a dodecahedron, and the "no" Bit is a second stellation of a icosahedron.

Cake bunting is a fun trend going on right now, adding height and dimension to any simple cake. The great thing about it is that your cake decorating skills can be mediocre. This takes the attention away from the frosting and moves it to the top of the cake.
Most commonly used are little triangle pennant flags, but why not add your own touch with little die-cut shapes or stickers? If you are into scrap booking or paper crafts, this craft should be an easy and fun one.

This year's holiday virtual greeting card from Chronicle Books was a really fun, stop motion video starring several of the marketing staff members. Shot by Thayer Gowdy and with music from Ben Kasman, the one-minute video is comprised of more than 700 individual shots. One of my favorite parts of the video included the unveiling of a giant knit scarf. In the behind-the-scenes post on the Chronicle Books blog, it was revealed that knitting the 25-foot long scarf took four people several weeks to make. Awesome! Watch the video and then read the behind the behind-the-scenes post for all the details on how it was made.

I'm always wishing I had a small iron mat to use when I'm doing smaller projects so I don't have to drag out the big ironing board. I've looked in to buying one, but figured there had to be an easy, affordable way to make one instead. Thanks to Kristin at Craft Leftovers, I now have a very simple ironing mat tutorial to follow. I'm thinking this would also be a great gift to make and give to your favorite crafter this holiday season.

Cranberry pomegranate sorbet is a wonderful, seasonally appropriate party dessert. It packs great flavor while still being a more health-conscious option than most desserts. The sorbet's beautiful color will certainly take the spotlight at your holiday party this year.
This is a great option for dessert if you need to work on preparations in advance, as the sorbet can be made many days ahead and stored in the freezer until you need it. Your guests will never know!
For fun, serve in mini martini glasses with a few glugs of champagne. Or for the non-alcohol drinkers and children, use sparkling water or sparkling white grape juice. Garnish with cranberries.

Diane Gilleland has not one but two great tutorials for turning a crafty eBook into a perfect gift.
As she puts it:
Last year, I didn't talk much about crafty ebooks during the holidays, because let's face it - as cool as they are, it can be hard to give them as gifts, since there's not really anything tangible to give....Which got me thinking: what could you do to make them tangible - and crafty? So I came up with a whole bunch of cool ways you could buy someone an indie crafty ebook as a gift, and also turn it into something really cool to wrap up and put under the tree.
Plus it's a perfect last-minute gift idea!
