I signed up for a woodworking class that starts in February. It is through the adult education program in my cute little city. Eight weeks of learning how to build things! I’m hoping to learn how to make furniture and get over my fear of power tools. I am so excited. Do you want to [...]

The span of time in between when the kitchen was finished enough for us to start putting our belongings back and when we were expecting about 35+ of our local friends and family for our annual Festivus Party was four evenings (after work) long. We had about a month to demo and box up everything [...]

I’ve talked about Pinterest before, but I didn’t fully start to take advantage of it until this fall. If I were pressed to name the most helpful internet app in existence for folks like myself, who love crafting, clothes, design, food, etc. etc, it would definitely be Pinterest.

The month of December can be a tricky time in our two religion home. As it is, Christmas now starts right after Halloween.

In the most exciting news of the week, I harvested my first edible container garden item. Without setting myself up for naughty google search traffic, it was a cucumber and it was delicious. Everything else is growing like crazy too. All in all, I would definitely recommend trying container gardening and next year I would [...]

The design blogs have been abuzz for a while now about the latest and greatest in what I like to call, online scrap booking, basically. Pinterest is a website that allows you to capture images from ANYWHERE on the internet. Why is this important? In the past, you might have pulled pages out of magazines and kept [...]

I remember so clearly when I got my first SLR camera. It was for high school photography. I have always loved taking pictures. I loved the quiet of the dark room at school, watching the images I captured coming to life in the pans of foul smelling liquid. There is a quote from Lost In [...]
