Another Garden Update

It jumped to hot weather here so fast, my little winter sown containers are growing fast! Usually you’d start taking the tops off during the day and replacing them at night when it got fairly cool, but it’s been so warm that it’s barely even dipped into the 40s at night which means replacing the

How To Build A Raised Bed With Concrete Blocks

I built my first raised bed from concrete blocks (aka cinder blocks) a few years ago, though my garden wasn’t too successful because our yard had become much shadier. But now that we moved, I have a big empty yard that gets lots of sun!

You might be wondering about the blocks, since chances are

Garden Update – Winter Sowing Progress

After weeks of almost non-stop rain and even some snow (EW!), I think it’s finally really spring! It was 65 degrees today, and I took advantage of the nice weather by finishing up the first raised bed for my vegetable garden. (More on that in a few days.)

I thought I’d post my progress with

New version of the TARDIS dress

I had a lot of people asking for a more fitted version of my TARDIS dress, so here it is! Dr. Who fans, rejoice!

Somewhat unrelated, I got a new 50mm lens for my camera and holy crap, it is awesome. It makes me cats look extra cute…

I’m Alive!

Pardon my lackadaisical posting habits, I am experiencing an unprecedented custom order boom. Usually the first few months of the year are slower for me, but good GOD, not this year. Plus it’s nearing the end of March and I’m not trying to panic over how much garden prep I have NOT done yet.

Happy New Year!

I don’t know about you, but for me, 2012 was pretty rad. Here’s to making 2013 even better!

I think we all know what time it is. Resolution time!

For WhatTheCraft, my resolutions are to make MORE patterns and MORE tutorials! My specific goal is to have at least a new one of each per

Sketches in Triplicate

I wasn’t much of a sketcher (is that a word? Or just a shoe) up until recently. I’ve always had more luck in 3 dimensional art (sewing, sculpting, etc.) than I was with 2 dimensional art (drawing and painting).

Then I got a Wacom Bamboo Tablet for my computer. I LOVE THIS THING. If I’d

My Tinseltastic Holiday Table

This post brought to you by Dollar General. All opinions are 100% mine.

Happy Hanukkah, Festivus, and Christmas! Time is flying this year… so fast that Christmas almost snuck up on me before I even got the decorations out. I guess that’s what happens when I brag about getting my holiday shopping done early- my

Happy Halloween!

I thought since we moved closer to town we’d get trick or treaters. So I bought 4 bags of candy, naturally. And we’ve had a big fat zero trick or treaters. BOO!

I’m going to drown my skeleton sorrows in a big plastic pumpkin full of Halloween candy.

But first I’ll show you my jackolantern,
