I’m taking a break from Blend Recapping (don’t worry. there’s more. if you’re sick of it, come back next week when I leave for Austin).
EDIT: I wasn’t going to recap today (I have tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday for that!), but Janetha posted her Friday night recap last night and [...]
First of all, I have to tell you that last night’s Doomtree show was awesome! And awesomely loud. I brought ear plugs for once. Loudest show I’ve been to. And you know what kind of music I listen to … \m/

WOW this august has proven to be a rockin’ one. Megadeth/Slayer/Testament last Saturday and on Monday, Aug. 30th, I’m going to FINALLY get to see the Murderdolls — one of my absolute favorite bands ever. This is beyond exciting because I didn’t think I’d EVER get the chance to see the ‘dolls. [...]

Well, I took the plunge ladies and gentlemen. I officially quilted a full-size quilt.
I took photos of the process. One thing I learned — I desperately need a walking foot. I couldn’t find one for my machine (they were sold out [...]
A while back I made a “hardcore” quilt top out of a bunch of band t-shirts I had lying around. It was sort of practice for piecing since it was one of the first things I pieced.
Anywho, I only used half of the 50 blocks I’d created for it and shoved the [...]
As some of you may know, my boyfriend is in a band called Assault Company (www.assaultcompany.com for their latest EP).
Some of you may not recall that how I met my boyfriend was because I was in the band for a while as the lead singer. I did two shows (in one [...]

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.
