Craftuesday Wrapup: Don’t have a cowl, man.

Oh, I crack me up. Whew!
Well, I finished my Spring Mill/Obama Congress Speech cowl last night. I have a slight addiction to the simplicity and overall zen quality of knitting in the round. And, it seems like making cowls may be my knitted calling. I enjoy it more than any other knitted good…so far. (I’m [...]

New Music: Pains, Ward & the Koz.

I bought three new CDs last week and, after giving each a listen, here’s a bit of feedback for each:

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – Self Titled
Maybe my favorite album I’ve bought this year. It just sounds so good and happy and sad…all at the same time. They’re not breaking any ground here, [...]

Random silliness to start your day.

A fellow Flickr-er posted this link today and it made me very happy:

Indy Craft Mafia: Our Chair-ity Affair Entry

I’m super happy to announce that our Indy Craft Mafia chair was completed for the Care for Kids Foundation’s silent auction last week. Our idea was to convert an old Papasan chair into a bird’s nest theme. I think it turned out quite lovely:

One of the best features of the chair is the removable, over-sized [...]

Yes, please.

Well, I can promise you I’ll be seeing this movie when it comes out:

And, I can pretty much guarantee that, if the plot sucks, I’ll still get plenty of enjoyment out of it. Meow!

Flight of the Conchords: Poster Contest

Today I spent a few hours working on my two entries for the Flight of the Conchords Poster Contest. The rules were pretty strict (or seemed to be until after I uploaded my entries and realized people went WAY outside the rules), so I thought I was limited on images I could use. With that [...]

Double your pleasure.

Well, since my brain  is WAY overcaffeinated on Henry’s coffee (the best coffee in Indy, btw), I’m finding myself too scatterbrained to focus.
So, I thought I’d share one of my all time favorite photos. You’ve probably all seen it, but it never hurts to see it again. I told Matthew I want a large framed [...]

He’s Just Not That Into You (aka: Frankly my dear ScarJo, I’m just not that into you anymore)

Last week, in need of some quality girl time, I went to see He’s Just Not That Into You with a group of special ladies. It’s pretty much what I expected: a chic flick with some cast members that I really love (Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly) and I few I am starting to absolutely detest: [...]

AMD: Letterpressed yumminess!

My new business cards arrived today and I was so super excited to affix my very first address label to my first printed card. I decided to go with a generic card portion (with name and graphics only) paired with a multi-purpose address label. The label will be used on my letterheads (they arrive next [...]

Another New Years Resolution…belated.

So, I’ve been thinking: At the end of every year, I’m always struggling to remember what movies I saw and what CDs I bought. The later for end-of-year mix purposes, which I deem very important and necessary. And, since it’s only mid-February and I can hardly remember what I’ve seen/bought so far this year, I [...]
