One of my co-workers had a baby shower last month. The decorations were a potluck effort, including my contribution — a festive garland to swag around the conference room. I’ll admit, it didn’t turn out like I expected. But it sure is fun. It was also a great way to use up some of the...Read More

You don’t know this yet, but I am on a picture frame binge. Granted, I need more frames like I need a hole in the head, but I find myself itching for frames and thinking it’s only a matter of time until I find something nifty to put in them. This means I now have...Read More

My pom pom obsession continues. This time it’s on the tree. So easy to make. So easy. I may have gotten distracted by a Harry Potter marathon (damn you Disney Family channel!) and before you know it… Ahem: So, I need to give credit on the inspiration here. Last summer, Jaderbomb made some awesome pom...Read More

Well here is a question you never worried about before; Exactly how much do I hoard drinking straws? A. I pick up a package here and there, on occasion, when I see nifty patterns at reasonable prices. B. More than a normal person should. As of now, my collection of drinking straws takes up two...Read More
