Sorry about that…

Sorry that my last post was so mundane. In fact, I’d put it on the same level as a conversation had over stale oatmeal with a roommate you don’t really like the morning after you’ve had a bit too much to drink and can’t remember where you lost your left flip flop. I’ll try to […]

Whatchoo Doin’?

I’ve not been an outstanding blogger this summer. Oh well, can’t go back and fix it. However, I can say that I’ve been busy spinning yarn, rearranging (over and over) my crafting room, shopping at flea markets and finding the COOLEST things for my jewelry shop, pretending to clean out my mom’s house (if you […]

43 Kinds of Awesome

This video is exactly 43 kinds of awesome. Enjoy.

H-O-T

Guys, I’m not sure if you’ve realized it yet, but it’s HOT outside. The only remedy for the heat is a snow cone. It doesn’t matter what flavor. Just as long as that flavor is topped with cream. Because snow cones need cream. Trust me on this one. I went to look at a house […]

Big news… I think

Oh my, it seems I’ve forgotten to come post my big announcement here on the blog. Last week I received a promotion at work. I’ve gone from Booking Manager to Booking and Events Manager. I’ve also gone from supervising no one to supervising 6 someones. Am I crazy to accept that? Maybe. Am I overly […]

In which I REALLY see the light

After many hours of playing with my new light box, I have come up with a series of pictures with this look:I think that’s it! I think Idyllhands has a new look. I purchased the fabric in the background to make pillow cases out of… but I can buy more. I think the combination of […]

In which I see the light!

I’ve been wanting to construct a light box for well over a year. I’ve put it off, found sunny places to take pictures and have made do without one for long enough. This weekend I tasked myself with making a light box. They are cheap and sounded relatively easy to construct. “Sounded” being the key […]

A Love Letter

Dear Doubletree Austin, “I am not even sure where to start with this. I booked my room at this hotel through Priceline. I was delighted to get a Doubletree room as I have stayed at other Doubtletree properties in the past and have always been very pleased with the service and rooms. I’ve also been […]

Itching

My trip to Austin is behind me. And I’m sad. Sad because this amazingness is over: But also sad because I’ve had the hardest time leaving that town this trip than I ever have before. Not sure if I’m ready for a change, ready to get back there, ready for more opportunities in life, ready […]

Two of my favorite things

I have many favorite things. I have favorite stickers, favorite yarn, favorite decorated clothespins (quite useless but very quote), favorite songs, favorite flowers, favorite sock monkeys… lots of favorites. Towards the top of my list of favorite things are food and wine. I’m not the kind of person who eats to sustain myself, but I […]
