Hunter rain boots. Everytime it rains I wonder why I don’t own a pair yet. Of course, it’s the ridiculous price tag… but I’m going to breakdown and consider them an investment...
Ahoy Mateys! Arrgghh… OK… pirate talk is sort of lame, I will spare you the pain. I made this pirate apron for my cousin Gina for her 35th birthday. She is a lover of all things pirate. I...
While everything looks yummy in a beautifully Photoshopped image on Pinterest, let’s face it… some recipes on there are just duds. Recently, I’ve made a few awesome recipes, and som...
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of helping my good friend announce the gender of her baby to close family and friends. I’d never heard of this new unveiling method, but apparently it’...
Obviously we love The Office in our house. Not only did I hijack this awesome Dwight Schrute drawing to create a custom card for the hubs, but he snuck a quote from his Office daily calendar into my ...
With Valentine’s day just around the corner, there are some fabulous craft projects flying around the “internets”. A few weeks ago, I had some great ladies over for a crafternoon an...
A friend and I were talking today about Pinterest and how everyone and their mother is on it now, pinning away like a mad woman. It got me to thinking how many things must end up on people’sboa...
When we moved into our home 2 1/2 years ago, it was a mess. We basically had to gut it, as each room had something to tackle. Along the way, the hubs and I picked up a lot of DIY skills and we now ha...
We were a little late in our house to stumble upon the greatness that is The Office, so bear with me here. Over the last few months, the hubs and I have watched every episode season 1 through 7 on Ne...
The Christmas cookie excitement continues. I LOVE Rolos. Well… I like anything with caramel in it. These cookies have a Rolo baked into the middle and they are absolutely awesome! You might thi...
One of my husband’s favorite cookies is the Peanut Butter Blossom. Around the holidays, it’s a must make. Although it’s an easy cookie to bake, I’m sharing my recipe because m...
I think I’ve come to the conclusion that life doesn’t get any better than baking around the holidays. More so than having your house smell delicious and sneaking a sweet reward right from...
Last night during the Friday Night Sew-In, I completed my entry for this week’s Iron Craft Challenge. The theme: money. I’ve never made a coin purse before, so I thought this would be a g...
I’ve been hiding for over a week now. Work has been hectic and at night all I can bring myself to do is move to the couch for several episodes of Roswell on Netflix (yes, I am that lame). But, ...
On Friday, my good friend Claudia turned 30. I think every holiday in the last several years has included me making a bag of some kind for her (she has an accessory problem). So for this milestone, I...
I hate photoshopping people; I gave up after adding myself. By Facebook request, today’s post is a recap of what I learned last night at a seminar on farming. The seminar was part of a free, 3 ...
This week’s challenge for the Iron Craft was “Best in Show.” The only requirement was that your project be about animals. To see all of the entries, check out the Iron Craft group o...
Iron Craft Challenge #12 was titled “Wanna Get Lucky?” The task was to create something based on luck. I’m not sure if I believe in luck, so when I found the following quote… ...
So… I’m not going to lie. I’ve had a super hard time playing by the Friday Night Sew-In rules these past two months. I have the best intentions of sewing my Friday night away. But, ...
It’s time for another Friday Night Sew-In sponsored by Handmade by Heidi. To join in on the fun tonight, hurry up and head over to the Heidi’s blog to sign up and participate! More details can be fou...
Work has been super busy, so this week’s entry into the Iron Craft challenge was a quick project that took only a few minutes. The theme was to make something using the color green. I used the ...
It’s that time of the year… Girl Scout cookies are here. As a previous Girl Scout myself, I always support our local troops by buying a few boxes. For the last few years, we haven’t...
Taking a cue from Fat Tuesday, this week’s Iron Craft challenge was all about the fat quarter. We were asked to create something using only one fat quarter’s worth of fabric. (For those o...
I have a love/hate relationship with my Cricut Expression. I love that it cuts things out. I hate that I have to spend a fortune on cartridges to make that happen. Scrapbooking has gotten out of cont...
This week’s challenge for Iron Craft was inspired by the Oscars. I took it very literally and opted for a project based on the red carpet. “And the not-so-imaginative-take on this theme g...
If my blogging silence didn’t tip you off, last week was a rough one for me. I got sick on Monday night and was out for the count through Friday. I determined that more than feeling sick, I hat...
I have a thing with bread. If it’s not good, homemade, local bakery quality… I’m salty about it. Bread (or any carb for that matter) is the highlight of my meal. I prefer white 1,00...
Congratulations to Heidi aka Digital Misfit on winning the burnt gold satin flower hair pins from this week’s giveaway! About the pins, Heidi said: “I would wear them to my nephew’s...
Week 7 of the Iron Craft Challenge brought forth the Midas Touch. Participants were challenged to create something using gold. To see all of the entries, check out the Iron Craft Flickr group here. ...
For awhile now, I’ve been wanting to participate in a show; the handmade goods are piling up here and I’m running out of room. When I read about the Artists of the Rust Belt Winter Market...
