Why Mr. Spock Shouldn’t Decorate


December 6, 2017

I texted my sister a picture of a Christmas display I had made of a baking scene: a mixing bowl and baking accessories, some cookie cutters, and some decorations that look like cookies on a saucer.

After I sent it, I looked at it full-scale, and noticed that, while I was trying for a whimsical, carefree look, all the cookie cutters were precisely positioned for even spacing and maximum display potential. It was very geometric and soothing, but didn’t exactly scream “Good times!”

So I picked ’em up and dropped ’em randomly. It looks much less rigid, and more like fun.


I wonder how long I’ll be able to stand it.
