MERRRY CHRISTMASSSSS!
I didn’t post any Christmas wants before today because I didn’t want to give people a list of stuff to get me. I like getting clever things from people because they know me well (or follow my pinboard that’s essentially a list of things I MUST HAVE).
While you’re opening [...]
My mom requested that I make an apron for my niece. I found this really basic tutorial and adjusted it to make it reversible and to fit my niece.
I like how it turned out, especially now that I walked away from it for a while. There are a few mistakes, but she’s 3, [...]
I must admit. I’ve been entirely too busy watching Seasons 1-2 of Buffy to blog.
I kid. I kid. But seriously. I may have been doing that.
Regardless, I have been extremely busy making everybody’s Christmas gifts. I will blog about all of them after I’ve gifted them (obviously — don’t want to spoil the [...]
WARNING: making a gingerbread house may sound like fun. IT IS NOT.
My beau somehow talked me into making a gingerbread house with him — although, he still claims it was MY idea. We spent the better part of last Sunday making this monstrosity from baking to assembling, to frosting.
Did I mention he’s an [...]
Don’t worry — she’s 2. She’s not going to read my blog. If she does, then I’m more than proud of her.
I had cut up my prom dress from my senior year of high school a couple months back for my birthday party, but had failed pretty miserably. So I had a TON of [...]
I realized I’ve not blogged lately. Which is weird. But I have been SUPER busy.
I’ve been crafting up Christmas presents — for my friends and for those who’ve purchased crafty items from my etsy store for the holidays. I’ve been spending the past several days filling a pretty large order of [...]
I made this quilt out of two tops I had lying around for my niece for Christmas. I had planned a cuter quilt, but I didn’t have the money to get it professionally quilted, so I put two of my tops together and qulited this blanket with wavy stitching. The stitching is pink on one [...]
My friend Molly had her annual Christmas party this year and I was lucky enough to be invited to the festivities. Molly makes the most awesome food and it’s always fun to get together with these girls — usually full-on crazy.
I was really excited to go because I finally got to [...]
Yes, even Twisted Sister now has a Christmas album.
Really? Yeah. Really.
All you spandex-wearing hairsprayed glam rock fans now have something to listen to around the holidays. Exciting.
Kasey discovered this album last week on emusic.com and I found a video of one of their songs (Heavy Metal Christmas, what else?) on YouTube. Their [...]
(supposed to be said in a cookie monster voice)
Just got done making sugar cookies for my mom. I used everybody’s favorite recipe from Grandma Himes and randomly created some frosting that actually worked out.
The baking part was the easy part. The recipe makes for easy rollout, cutout and transfer to baking sheets. But [...]
