For those of you who don’t know me, I have a regular, old office job. One that can be filled with a lot of down time. So, I need to find things to fill my long and sometimes EXTREMELY boring day. I’ve tried many things. I played LOTS of Facebook games. I knew I was addicted when [...]
As I’ve said before, I love lomography. Another thing I love - Polaroid pictures. I don’t know if it’s a throw-back to my 70′s/80′s childhood or just the overall look. Both? Regardless, when I saw this tutorial to make Polaroid refrigerator magnets, I decided to go for it. I have no idea why her version is [...]
IT’S DONE!!! Cute, right? I’m very pleased with how it turned out. As much as I hoped they would just hop up there because they loved it so much, Ryan put catnip on it to entice them. Ted seems to like it more than Ralph, but maybe because it’s a medium-sized suitcase and Ralph is [...]
The title is a little funny to me because I don’t have a Gramma Katty. I do have a beautiful and insanely talented sister, Katy. But get this - she is having her first grandchild in January! Well, she’s not really *having* it, but her daughter is and…you get it. AND we just found out that it’s a [...]
Even though, I have two incomplete projects going on right now, I decided to start a new one - a quilt for our bed. VERY ambitious, I know. The picture above is of the beginning stages. I’ve even pointed out the mistake that’s been driving me nuts crazy which I will have to fix. Boo. I’ve been [...]
Meet Nuggies and Pino. Say it with me, “AAAAAAAWWWWWWW!” They are my “nieces” and they are the cutest dogs EVAH! One day, my sister-in-law came over and showed me Nuggies’ harness. It was pretty much trashed. Understandably so, since the little dog is only a couple of inches from the ground. Getting dirty would be pretty [...]
The kitty quilt is officially finished. I actually have two. Why two, you ask? Because the fancy free-motion presser foot I got for my sewing machine proved to be a little harder to use than I thought it would be. You can plainly see where I started (dark blue) and where I finished (dark green) in the [...]
This is what my current craft room looks like: HA! Get it?! It looks like a leprechaun because LIKE a leprechaun, it doesn’t exist! I SLAY myself sometimes. Anyway, because of this sad, sad space void (is that a double negative?), my craft supplies are strewn throughout our tiny apartment in various boxes and bins that are [...]
A couple of years ago, I became obsessed with lomography. During my Flickr stalking days (which still exist), I stumbled upon pictures that I thought were the coolest thing I’d ever seen. The first ones I found were of carnival/amusement park rides. The colors were vivid, yet not vivid, if that makes any sense. It [...]
I mentioned last week that my friend’s brother and sister-in-law are having a baby. Hurray!! When my friend asked me to do the invite, I was so all over it. Woodland Critters! Who doesn’t love baby animals? For serious, who? No one, that’s who. Especially ones holding a little daisy bouquet! Again, no, their names aren’t Smith and [...]
