Not just the color. Like recycled. But the "green" thing is over-used. Like here… Really? A green Hummer? So, let's call this project upcycled. So much more chic. Or hippy. Whatevs. I found these homemade bows awhile ago and was intrigued. But they're harder than they look. First of all, they…

Yes. Rad. I was cruising the interwebs the other day and came across this lady's cute crochet coffee cozy pattern (alliteration is awesome). I kept poking around her blog and found out she makes, like, a million hats a month and has cute patterns available for purchase. And she gives out 50% off coupons. Maybe, she…

Besides eating a bunch of popcorn and getting drunk by myself, my other late-night activities include sewing and crocheting. I mean, the only reason I put the ladies to bed is to give me time to get stuff done. Sleep, be damned! *shake fist in the air* (Similarly to how I will never add up…

– the best weekend ever! – Friday, I started the day off right with the amazing fourth installment of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn: Part 1 with my ladies, America and Ms. Brown. Amazing might be the wrong word. It was terribly AWESOME, in case you're wondering. Just note the "terribly" part, too. Be prepared for…

Have you seen this fabulousness floating around the interwebs? It's from that brilliant Megan, over at notmartha.org She made these amazing dahlia flower brooches in honor of Mother's Day, but with Christmas fast approaching, I could see them coming in handy. I followed her directions vaguely (I didn't measure anything because I'm sooooo good at eye-balling…

– lots of V's artful photography, found on my iPhone photo album when downloading my own pictures. I'm pretty sure that's a finger and little Zoo's occupied footy-jamas… Art. – My love/hate relationship with making a center-pull ball of yarn continues. No matter how hard I try, there's always some hopeless tangle near the…

Boo. And not in honor of Halloween. I was super excited about this week's project because I A) love cleaning and B) have a lot of pans that look like this… I wanted this to happen… Notice the seriously clean left side of the pan above? And the junky, gross right side? Jillee, over at…

I wasn't sure how to answer V's question for this week's Pinterest Project. We made Kool-Aid Play Dough from Meet the Dubiens. It wasn't real Play Doh, but it was playdough. And playdough is a toy, so… No? Yes? In any case, it really is all I hoped it would be. A) I had all the…

Remember this project I started? We are having a fight. I think we will be getting divorced. After finishing three squares, I realized I wouldn't have enough yarn to make the final project (a super-groovy convertible scarf/shrug). But I had finished three squares, so I couldn't just rip them out and try something new.…

Remember how I'm letting V name these posts? Well, I am. She just says the funniest crap. Apparently, V thought Zoo was not warm enough the other day, hence her concernicus (Dane Cook? anyone?) question. This week, I was inspired by this car seat blanket over at Running with Scissors. Besides having an awesome name for her blog,…
