No %&*$#@

This is something that I has been on my mind for a while, swearing.  I don’t swear at all.  You will never hear me drop the f-bomb around or any other of those four letter words.  Am I just too uptight or old-fashion?  Because I simply can’t stand that sort of language, and I do get offended when people use it in my presence.  That happens quite a bit, especially while riding the bus.  I...

More Goodwill Hunting

Goodwill had another 1/2 off sale yesterday, so I loaded up on more supplies.  As if I really needed any more supplies.  Anyway, here they all are. At the top is some white cotton fabric that was $1 and a remnant that was 50 cents.  It appears to be the makings of two small sized sailor collars and a matching doll sized one. As for the rest, starting from the right: A large spool of a pinkish sort...

Pretty in Pink

I said I would finish the list Saturday.  It may be a little later than I wanted, but it is definitely finished on this day. Remember this Bratz doll.  I got her at a rummage sale ages ago.  She was a bit dusty, hair badly tangled, and had no clothes at all as to be expected.  You almost never see old fashion dolls with clothes.  I took care of all that though. Here’s the new and improved...

Swapping Fun

I just heard about this new site called whoopdwhoop, it’s a craft marketplace that doesn’t involve currency.  Apparently when you list your crafts you get these points, I believe they call them “whoops”, and of course you get more if someone “buys” your stuff.  Then you can use your whoops for other stuff.  Sounds pretty cool, however since it’s really new there aren’t a lot of stuff up yet.  That won’t last long.  To learn more about it, check it out or check this post on Obsessively...

Late on the Hearts and Sunshine

It’s been a long while since I’ve last posted.  Stuff just seems to get in the way, I am so far behind on my craft list and my blog following.  I also have just barely begun to pack for the move.  Anyway, I‘ve manage to get a couple projects done. Aren’t these cute?  They are little heart shaped pouches made from fleece.  I made them for my mom’s birthday.  It was Saturday, just don’t...

More Pretty Stuff

I had a bit of trouble getting started with my list, partially due to problems mentioned previously.  But I managed to get a few of the smaller cuter bits done. These were those cheap stretchy gloves you can get for $1 practically everywhere.  I had a hard time finding white ones which I prefer over other colors.  I wanted them to look a little less plain and cheap. With a touch of lace and some...

Crash

A funny thing happened more than a week ago which should explain my rather long absence.  I had my netbook in my backpack with a rather heavy textbook.  I put the backpack on a low table where it almost immediately fell off.  When I turned on my netbook, the screen was black.  The computer was on and working perfectly, but I couldn’t see a thing, apparently something to do with back lighting.  The really funny thing happened after I replaced it when my new one finally arrived. ...

Fourteen

Here’s the first list of 2011.  A little on the short side, but I’ve got a lot going on.  Tax season is starting, so I will once again be preparing tax returns for people who make way more than me who then complain about not making that much.  Also my family is moving this month and I am so behind on the packing.  Plus I have a job interview for a animal hospital this week, and if all goes well (cross...

2011

A new year means new beginnings.  It also means you need a new calendar.  So I complied a list of free printable calendars that I love so much.  I can’t decide between though.  Anyway, enjoy them. Hello Kitty – Cute Sanrio calendars for free, but they only have one month at a time.  You’d have to go back at the end of each month. Kawaii Mini Calendar – Name says it all. Owl Lover Calendar – Custom made printable calendar with tons of cute owl illustrations.  They also...
