I like tattoos. There I said it. I like them. I think they are often beautiful displays of art. Sure, there are terrible tattoos out there, and really stupid ones, but a lot of them are really cool. For my birthday two years ago, my brother got me a bunch of books about tattooing. I … Continue reading »

Better a silly girl with a flower than a silly boy with a horse and a stick…
Pop Quiz! Can you name the film from which comes the line that makes up today’s title? Don’t look at me, I’m not telling! I’m taking a break today from regaling you with my dinner victories to talk about a little craft project. This project stemmed from an abundance of thin cardboard I happened to have on … Continue reading »
Pssht…I could do that….
GOOD MORNING!!!!!!!!!! Too early for that? Sorry. Let me try again *good morning* Better? Good. I hope you had a lovely weekend.

BAM! Quilt! Part 1
You may (or may not) know this about me: I graduated from Auburn University in 2009. Another random fact? I am a member of Omega Phi Alpha, National Service Sorority. One more for good measure? Sororities give out a lot of tee shirts. Like, a lot. Now, I don’t really wear tee shirts but I … Continue reading »

Pretty in Pink
Don’t you hate when your Monday is actually a Tuesday and it throws off your whole week and you just lose your everloving mind? No good, man. No good. Anyway, I posted some DIY tutorials that I used to decorate my birthday party this weekend (you can read that blog here) but I wanted to … Continue reading »
Birthday, Shmirthday or, Why I Suck
Oh bleaders, I feel as though I’ve failed you. I’ve been horribly dilinquent in my updating, an act of treachery akin to leaving one’s child at the grocery store and then forgetting that you even have a child. It’s no good. In my own (weak) defense, I’ve been up to my EYEBALLS in drama after … Continue reading »
A Tisket, A Tasket….Something Something Something…A Basket
Where did the week go!?!?! I was thinking today, I guess I better start on this week’s blog posts since it’s already Mon…THURSDAY?! Anyway. Over the weekend, Emily and I decided to try a project that’s been on my radar for a few weeks, the Newspaper Basket. You can find the Tutorial here, and there … Continue reading »
Weekend Warriors – Craft Schmaft
So I was visiting a client yesterday and as I got out of my car, the first thing I noticed was a song in the air. An unmistakable fluttering in my stomach started as I reverted to my 6-year-old self with only one thought. ICE CREAM TRUCK!!!!!!! You see, gentler bleader, my family moved from … Continue reading »
