If you’ve followed my blog, you’ll know that, over the past few months, I’ve been working on a new logo for my business: Amy McAdams Design. After much sketching, research and thought, I’ve come up with the following:
The logo utilizes my favorite font, Helvetica, along with an egg shape/talk bubble icon. My tagline is “a [...]
Oh, if only it were that easy. If knitting burned, say, 600 calories/hour, I would definitely be down two dress sizes by now. For Christmas, I made every woman in my family (and Matthew’s family) a knitted good….mostly of the scarf/cowl variety, since that’s the extent of my skill level at this point.
I think, overall, [...]
On Christmas Day, Matthew proposed. It’s official…we’re gettin’ hitched. Details to come (Oh, man. Does this mean I have to add The Knot to the list of my daily OCD website routine?).
This winter, I’ve suffered from the worst facial dryness ever. It’s resulted in breakouts (from me touching it so much) and red, scaley patches. There’s no amount of Bare Minerals that will cover that shit up. But, thanks to the advice of my friend Kirsten, I have been able to rid my face of the [...]
Is it just me or did Allison stink it up last night as a live host? Poor girl. She kept mixing up people’s names and being all nervous. Like she said, maybe it was the baby sucking some much needed brain power.
As for the rest of the show, my favorite highlights were:
Heba getting called out [...]
WARNING: THIS ENTRY IS DEFINITELY A DOWNER.
Starring Catherine Keener and Ellen Page (as the main character), An American Crime tells the sad and almost unbelievable story of Sylvia Likens. Growing up in Indiana, and now living in Indianapolis, the story of her untimely death has been retold to me several times. In almost every instance, [...]
When I went to the Indieana Handicraft Exchange this past year, there was one person’s booth that stood out to me. Her jewelry was beautiful, earthy and one-of-a-kind (literally, because of the intricacy, some of her pieces aren’t able to be replicated). I was so bummed that I didn’t snatch up a business card.
So, I [...]
George Harrison had it so right. Regarding taxes and, well, my Christmas shopping habits. I’m realizing that I am that girl who goes Christmas shopping with the intent of buying presents for everyone else, but always ends up buying a ton of stuff for myself. I can’t help it…the discounts are just too great to [...]
My deep affection for the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser turned into a full-blown obsession during the past year. For example, this past weekend it was my turn to clean the bathroom. I knew we were out of Magic Erasers, so I was stuck with using an old sponge and a LOT of elbow grease. After [...]
It was a year ago December 3rd that Idgie (aka The Idge) came to live with us. When we found her on Petfinder.com, her name was Gabby. I knew immediately, even though we had looked at hundreds of dogs, that she was the one. We met her at the Zionsville Petsmart and she immediately pooped [...]
