I got the ring I ordered from Midwest Alchemy in the mail today, it’s awesome. I’d always wanted a ring with emeralds-my birth stone-and now I have it. And if anyone was wondering, my birthday is exactly 2 months from today. Get crackin’!
One would think that living as close to Value Village as I do, that I’d spend a lot more time there than I do. But I don’t. It’s quite possibly the grossest VV I have ever had the misfortune of shopping in-all the clothes, literally, ALL the clothes are disgusting, dirty, ripped, full of crotch [...]
Since I was tagged twice to do this, I figured I’d better get the ball rolling. Mostly I feel like my life is an open book so there won’t be much new stuff in here or any real surprises to anyone, but I’ll try. (And the description of the process, from Ashley’s blog to help [...]
I got a new phone the other day. My old, crappy phone was no longer holding a charge so it felt like time to trade up for something half decent. Half decent, she says? Ok, I got an iphone. And guess what! I LOVE IT!!! It takes great pictures on top of everything. And while [...]
I keep forgetting to post a picture of these. When we were in Panama, at Yandup Lodge, I bought a bunch of molas from women in the local village. I think all 4 of these cost me less than $40. I haven’t figured out what to do with them yet, but everything works out eventually. [...]
I admit it, after almost a year, I shampooed my hair tonight. I’d washed it with Dr. Bronner‘s peppermint soap a couple weeks ago, during the lice fiasco (which, for the record, I didn’t have and do not currently have) and my hair felt so light and clean that after a lot of thought, I’ve [...]
I was thinking about writing a little about karma, but seeing as I don’t really believe in it, I will tell you what I DO believe in. Love. From family and friends. So I got a message from my friend Michelle who works for MAC makeup (and is on maternity leave right now) asking me [...]
Sometimes I can be a little obsessive compulsive. Today I went through my Koolaid points to see what’s up because I’ve been saving them for YEARS. As you can see. I only drink it in the summer time. Anyway, I snipped each point thing out neatly and organized them by denomination. Lately they’ve done 100 [...]
I have my very own little work space and I couldn’t be happier about that. There’s tons of storage (I even took over the old film refrigerator) and all my fabric, yarn, buttons, feathers, beads, spangles and whatnot is there and available. Today Rose helped me tweak my sewing machine and it seems to be [...]
Since I the first time I read Found Magazine (yeah, try NOT to spend hours looking at that), I have been meaning to send in my box of ‘special stuff’ that I found at a certain shitty job I worked at. I know, technically it’s called stealing, but it’s dumb stuff that isn’t sellable and [...]
