Tuckered Out

Guess what blog fans, I’m T-I-R-E-D. I spent half of yesterday cleaning up the new place, then the entire evening was spent moving a couple of truck loads and looking for a new TV (don’t ask, I don’t get why we need one either). Today I worked a full day up at the Arts Center […]

Vacation

In 2.5 days I’ll be hitting the road with My Sweet Boy for a trip down South to The Big Easy. I’ll return Monday evening (July 14). You are all more than welcome to buy the goodies in my shop and contribute to my moving back to town fund but all items will not ship […]

And the winner is…

The winning name for my necklace is “Tuscany” given to me by Sew Bettie at Craft Yourself Rich. I think it’s perfect since the stones in the necklace have that rustic, countryside look. I loved all of the names – some of them made me want to go for walks at night or in the […]

One Upon a Time…

Once upon a time there was a hidden street. Upon that hidden street were a few of the cutest, best kept bungalows in Fayetteville. One of those houses just happened to be up for rent when a young, beautiful crafter laid her eyes upon it in a Craigslist ad. This is a story of her […]

Tiny Jumping Goats

Recently, Argyle Whale, one of my favorite bloggers and Etsy artists, posted a call out for things on the internet to make someone happy. The request reminded me of the video you see above. I cannot get through it without smiling so big that I start to laugh. Watch it and brighten your day.

Pardon Me

Is tooting my own horn allowed in this blog? I sincerely hope you don’t mind some shameless patting myself on my back, but I just have to. If you do mind, I don’t care because I’m so excited about this bracelet. This is the finished product for the Marigold bracelet that I made through Etsy’s […]

Being Lazy

“Buy Handmade” buttons from BauerDesigns.etsy.com I haven’t crafted or created in days. I really need to. I’m having symptoms of withdrawal. I want to sit down and make some jewelry, but I have so much already! I want to sit down and knit, but for some reason, I haven’t been patient enough for it. I […]

When I Grow Up

I’ve recently stumbled across the blog of a friend of mine from college. She went on after she graduated to go to grad school for Music Therapy – that’s something I used to think I was going to do. Well, that or Musicology (I’m still torn on that one). Some times I’m fine with where […]

Yawn

I haven’t sat down and really made anything in well over a week. I finished a custom order this past weekend, but that didn’t count (in my opinion). I’ve got so many ideas, so many things I want to do, I just need to find the energy. Yesterday was spent in the garden and today […]
