Betcha didn’t think I could do it…

But I’m still spinning. Day 4 of the Yarn Everyday in April challenge is almost over but I managed to get one done early today. This yarn was spun up from some lovely samples I’ve received in the Phat Fiber boxes. I killed two birds with one stone with this project, I managed to spin […]

A Few of my Favorite Things

Not a single day goes by that I am not floored with the talent I find within the internet walls of Etsy. There are amazing artists and crafters all over the place. Some have made me beautiful items, some of helped me when I’ve had questions about new hobbies, but all have just been wonderful. […]

A Grand Return

I have returned from my trip to Texas. 98% of it was fabulous and 2% was not, I’ll blog about the not part (San Antonio) later this weekend. For now, only good things. It was fabulous to see a few of my best friends. I wish I could have seen more friends, but it was […]

Greetings from Austin

This will be my last post for the next week or so. Tomorrow, the Sweet Boy and I are headed south to Austin, TX. It’s been well over a year since my last visit and my heart is lonely for it. I did so much growing up there, learned so much about myself, and fell […]

Another Ending

I’m faced with another end to the weekend (redundant?). It’s always bittersweet. The late afternoon sun coming in the windows on this Sunday leave me with a feeling of peacefulness and I want to curl up and take a cat nap… BUT WAIT. There is so much left to be done before heading back to […]

Pssst… I’ve got a secret…

hey, i know you like the locket above – go to my shop to buy it 🙂 I’m feeling a bit wordy today. A lot of things have dawned on me over the course of my 9 hours spent in my fluorescent light filled office on this Wednesday. In the words of the Dude “new […]

blog slacker, yes… spinning slacker, no

It’s true, I haven’t give my blog the attention it needs, the attention it deserves this week. To be completely honest, I’ve been exhausted. The lack of power and severely cold temps in my house that I put up with last week has left me tuckered out. I got off work a bit early today […]

Honesty Scraps

So Melodie, over at For Once In My Life, decided she loved me so much that she would tag me to do something that actually requires me to sit and think. Thanks Mel. I am supposed to come up with 10 things you might not know about me. So, here goes nothing.. 1. I dread, […]

Theatrical and such

During a recent trip to Little Rock, I ran across some vintage/antique (not sure which) brass theater seat numbers. At first I didn’t realize what they were, I just knew they were going to be made into jewelry so I bought what they had. It didn’t dawn on me what they were until I was […]
