Speak for yourself

No really, please speak for yourself. This sign welcomed bikers and apparently it spoke for all of us (us being those who work at Walton Arts Center). Oh, okay, I’m a curmudgeon. Bikes Blues and BBQ isn’t all that bad. It’s great for people watching, for ear drum busting roars of the motorcycles as they […]

A Finished Object

Remember that yarn I gushed over a while back (see here if you don’t), well, I finally found a project worthy of this yarn. I looked and looked for something I’d wear… a lot. I love hats, but don’t often wear them as I find myself trying to keep my hair looking nice for work. […]

Things that go bump in the night

A few posts ago I announced that I’d be hosing my first SAL (spin-a-long) for Woolyhands. The turnout has been great and I can’t wait until the spooky batts make it to their new homes and the creations get posted to my Flickr group. The add ins are a lot of fun and these colors […]

Yum Yum Give Me Some

This might be my new favorite way to find out what’s for dinner: Tasty Kitchen Go there… you can thank me later. I cooked two recipes from that site tonight. This and this. Both were delicious. Both were modified slightly by me but that’s just how it goes in my kitchen. I also sauteed up […]

So Organized

My mom had a wooden architect table at her house that she used for beading. I loved it since she found it at a garage sale and it was one of those pieces that you wished you would have spied first so you could have claimed it. My siblings and I have started the daunting […]

How I did it

For those who wanted to know my method for hair – it’s basically THIS METHOD. I’m reading a lot of forums where people say to not do this method and only go to a hairdresser. I figured, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I had long hair when I started and didn’t cut too much off, so […]

I wish I had a before picture…

because it would make this picture even more amazing. I’m cheap when it comes to things like cutting my hair. Well, that’s not entire true. My hair stylist runs me about $60+ to get my hair cut BUT I only went about once a year so while it cost a TON to have done, I […]

Halloween Spin-a-Long

Raise your hand if you like Halloween? And raise your hand if you like spinning wool? Now raise your hand if you are a fan of a good, old fashion SAL (Spin-a-Long)??? I’m sure many of you have your hand up if not for all of these, at least for one of these. I have […]

In a pickle

While browsing through some of my favorite culinary blogs last week, I happened upon a blog post about pickled okra over at Homesick Texan. People who know my fridge well know that I have at least an entire shelf dedicated to all things pickled. I have relishes, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, garlic cloves, green tomatos, baby […]

The Fayetteville Animal Shelter – a safety net for irresponsible pet owners

My mother recently passed away leaving three beautiful, well love cats behind. Her vet recommended some local rescue groups, all of which were unfortunately full. I knew I didn’t want to list the cats in the paper or on Craigslist due to some of the scary situations I’ve read about in papers of people who […]
