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
The minute that Craig and I got engaged I had two thoughts: ugh, this outfit I’m wearing is so not cute, and omg how many cool blogs I’ll get to create. Oh yeah, and obviously that I love him. We wanted to celebrate with our friends, so I threw a low key party inspired by Lauren Conrad’s book Celebrate so everyone could eat, drink and celebrate … Continue reading will you perry me
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 💖
My love language is gifts, and nothing gives me greater pleasure than creating the perfect present for the fabulous people in my life. This year I wanted to create custom edible (or at least practical) gifts for each of my recipients, and using simple household items I created baskets or kits that were (almost) too pretty to eat. Munchie Basket: (FYI my cricut had a … Continue reading eat, drink, eat more and be merry
I love fall and all of the opportunities it provides to have theme parties. Usually I throw an annual pumpkin carving party, but this year my kitchen renovation stood in the way of planning that event, so I opted to have a Sunday Friendsgiving/Football potluck instead. It was a ton of fun, and a nice chance to get together before everyone had family obligations. Prior … Continue reading friends giving at friendsgiving
I love love love Halloween. It’s the perfect opportunity to make your boyfriend and dogs wear costumes of your choosing so that they coordinate with your own. I usually start planning my outfit November 1st, and try to top my diy one from the previous year. I’ve been my spirit animals (a flamingo and a unicorn), celebrities (Ke$ha and Vanna White), and my all time … Continue reading we all scream for halloween
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
Thanksgiving is a great time to gather with friends and loved ones. Since I stopped eating meat this year, I was faced with the challenge of creating a vegetarian menu that would still make you hate yourself the next day. I invited some friends over for a fanciful feast, and they quickly discovered, like most events I throw, it was all for the blog. The … Continue reading a fabulous friendsgiving
