Halloween aka “Hey Look, My Kids Still Like Hanging Out with Me!”
And the streak continues! So yeah, if you’ve been following me through the years, you may already know of my complete aversion to standard store bought costumes. […]
DIY Marquee Camp Letters
Nothing adds a bit of pizzazz like some flashy marquee letters. Unfortunately, while Etsy offers oodles of them, they are largely out of my price range, and by my price range, I mean the amount Andy will confidently agree that I should spend on light up letters for a 4 day event. Commence project DIY. I [...]
MUST HAVE: DIY Vintage Hoodie
I don't know about you, but I hate to have things all up on my neck. On top of that, I have a large chest, so high necklines- on top of choking me- are really unflattering. Plus I like my sweatshirts with cleavage. I'll own that. So, I have come up with a solution to [...]

It actually wasn't the only thing I purchased that day. I also left with a headboard [...]

Halloween Nerd Alert!
For years I have been begging Andy to do a couples Halloween costume. He finally relented our sophomore year of college; we were to be Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson. I had the best blonde wig and push up bra, and Andy had spent a whole 6 hours growing a thick black mustache. It was [...]

Refinished
Where have I been? Oh you know, making furniture. Like Jesus. So, as you may remember, I've been a bit of a garage sale whore lately, hunting down some great wood pieces to refinish and introduce into my home in a way that says, hi, I'm super eclectic and artsy. Like if Zoe Dechanel and [...]
