Ke$ha would have been proud of these nails.
I did this over New Year’s after seeing a tutorial on Pinterest.
You can use any color for a base, I chose a glitter color by OPI that coordinated with the glitter I was planning on putting on the tips. The [...]
I’ve been asked by a few people to provide a tutorial for this lovely scarf I made as a commission by Mark for his mom for Christmas. Which, by the way, I might have to make a few more of because they are really cute. You can snap all 3 snaps, leave some open, mismatch [...]
… Got Jesus on my necklace-ace-ace
Got that glitter on my eyes
Stockings ripped all up the side
Looking sick and sexyfied
So let’s go, oh, oh, let’s go
I don’t [...]
It’s almost fall, which means it’s time to add some slightly warmer things to my wardrobe. I absolutely adore this pattern by Kelly Maher of 10 Feet High. It knits up super easy — enough to make them in multiple colors. And it’s adaptable based on your size instead of coming [...]
Did I mention that I make onesies? I think I did a couple of other times. I do, but I don’t sell them. Just for gifts.
Check this cutie out! This is my friend Dani‘s niece.
She [...]
Wow.
I’m surprised I still have hair after what it’s been through this year. Whew! I didn’t realize just how much my hair has changed until a passerby at work said “oh you got your haircut … again.”
So those of you who’ve met me this past year have no idea, but my hair was [...]
I’ve had this Korn t-shirt for a long time now, and I think it may have been a b-day present from somebody about 5 years ago. I used to wear it all the time, but I’ve grown out of nümetal and have been trying to recon my nümetal shirts into something cute so I’d be [...]
I finished knitting a sweater out of the Stitch-n-Bitch Nation book called “Baby’s First Tattoo”.
It’s for my neice, Emee, and I made the 6 month size. I need to sew the snaps on it yet, but here are some pictures of the finished piece.
Also, I’m going to make another one and add an [...]
I’m so excited I just had to blog about this.
Went to the eye dr today for the first time since 2006. Shockingly my eyes have gotten better. I was surprised to hear that because they’ve consistently been getting worse since 4th grade (especially the left eye w/ astigmatism that is now apparently gone).
In [...]
I haven’t really gotten new hair since like… 7th grade. Seriously. The most adventurous thing I’ve done to my hair is grow my bangs out, cut more bangs and grow them out again. I’ve colored it a bunch of funky colors (including pink and green), but never really cut it any differently. Same cut, different [...]

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
