Ever since I decided to start making my costumes, the world of possibilities has seemed endless. I usually start planning the following year’s ensemble November 1st (or really October 28th if I’m being honest), and then force Craig into some male counterpart that he never wants to be, but does because he loves me. We’ve been a Tiffany’s box and gemologist (Craig thought he was … Continue reading toy story: halloween edition
As I was doing my weekly perusing of craft supplies I realized two things: one, they are getting more and more expensive by the day, and two, my craft room really is overflowing with stuff I buy but don’t always use. I’ve found that by shopping in my own house I can repurpose plenty of the shit I already own for pennies. Crafting relaxes … Continue reading top ten tuesday: craft the earth
I love Valentine’s Day…it’s a day devoted to celebrating candy, pink, hearts, glitter…basically all of my favorite things. This year I had a few girlfriends over to enjoy wine, cheese and crafts, and even though we said No Boys Allowed wed, we had some (very adorable) party crashers Food & Drink: Cheese boards & Wine pairings: Lauren Conrad’s party planning Bible “Celebrate” gives perfect … Continue reading galentine’s 💖
I recently went to a Barn Market sale where vendors were selling “repurposed furniture,” aka tables and dressers made to look antique. As I walked around, I noticed the price tags on the larger pieces were hundreds of dollars, and many of them were already sold. I started to realize that every vendor’s tent looked like my basement (and garage and shed). My mother the … Continue reading drinks on me
My mom never threw anything away. No, seriously, I recently found a box of 45 remote controls in a closet. Like obviously the devices they belonged to were long gone, so why would you save all of the remotes?!? Anyway, I digress… Being raised by a woman of this mentality forced me in the other direction– I am a purger by all means. However, when … Continue reading a rainy crafternoon
I am not a morning person at all, yet I have chosen a career that will force me to wake up early every weekday morning for the rest of my life. With my schedule getting more and more hectic, a nice cup of a coffee is sometimes the only thing that drags me out of bed in the morning, so I decided to create a coffee … Continue reading coffee break
I love cooking with fresh herbs, but they can be so expensive at the grocery store and even the local farmer’s market. Plus isn’t it a pain when you just need a few leaves of sage, but have to buy the whole package? I’ve tried to keep indoor herb gardens in the past with no luck– even though I appreciate gardening, I have a black … Continue reading call for a good thyme
Easter is the hot mess of all the holidays, with bunnies carrying eggs, a menu of ham and chocolate and the constantly changing date (seriously…can it just be in April all the time?!?) If you aren’t Catholic, or don’t have kids, chances are Easter is just another Sunday. But for ME, the Holiday Queen, Easter is the perfect opportunity to hard boil a few dozen eggs … Continue reading hip hop
Yes, I am one of those freaks that celebrates her dogs’ birthdays, and IDGAF. I recently read an article on 5 ways to spoil your dog and was proud to say I am guilty of all of them. Our pets give us so much unconditional love that the least we can do is spoil them a little bit (or a lot) once in a while! … Continue reading every dog has his day
Well, I’ve made it to adulthood- I have a blog and a serious relationship. (Side note: when Craig read this, he said “wait, we’re in a serious relationship?!?” Yep, we sure are!). We’ve had some great times discovering new places in our two years of travel, and I wanted to commemorate that in my anniversary present. Last year I made a scrapbook of all our … Continue reading wanderlust
