I am flying solo this week. Leigh is out on location somewhere in the jungles of California shooting a movie. She is so far out that she has no wi-fi and no cell service. She sent me an SOS email… Continue Reading
You know us. We’re all about undermining the establishment. Especially when it comes to archaic needle crafts. You’ve likely seen some subversive cross stitch recently. It is everywhere. Traditionally, needle work was reserved for alphabet samplers or Home Sweet Home… Continue Reading
Dearest Reader, Three years ago (this week), we launched Fun Things To Do While You’re Waiting. A lot has happened in the intervening years and keeping the blog going has been no small feat. Our back catalog now numbers into the 560’s.… Continue Reading
By now, everyone knows of my love for modding (modifying) t-shirts. I love that a pair of scissors and your imagination can completely transform an item of clothing from humble beginnings to a piece of art. I’ve seen and shared many… Continue Reading
Okay so, I have been seriously feeling the craftin’ vibe for the last month to six weeks. I find myself at Hobby Lobby and Lowes and Wal-Mart almost daily. That is just cray! We have all this demo and construction… Continue Reading
Remember when I did Birchbox product reviews? Yeah. Although a good subject idea, our modified posting schedule and life’s craziness got in the way of that venture. Plus, there are many out there who do it better than I, so I… Continue Reading
I love clothing pieces that come with sewn-in hanger straps. It’s a small pleasure, but it makes life easier. Ain’t nobody got time for finding bunched-up clean clothes that have fallen on the closet floor off their hanger. Although we already know… Continue Reading
Happy New Year! Can you believe that we have turned the page on 2014 and have opened the door on 2015?!?!! Each new year I have this same feeling- that the years go so fast. Are you wondering if… Continue Reading
Y’all. I shared last Friday about the holiday traditions of my childhood- one of my absolute favorites was riding around looking at lights. I have always just loved houses that were decorated with lights. So much so that when Bub… Continue Reading
My local yarn store, Loopy Yarns, rewards its customers with a $10 off coupon on our birthdays every year. This year, I decided to use mine to pick up a copy of Britt-Marie Christoffersson’s Pop Knitting. Her earlier publication, Swedish… Continue Reading
Happy Halloween! Can you believe that it is already Halloween? This year has just flown by, each month faster than the one before!! It will be Thanksgiving in a blink of an eye and Christmas before we know it! I… Continue Reading
Again, you may have noticed that Friday came and went without post from me. The downtime I thought I would have has yet to materialize… but (thankfully) sweet Sheila has stepped up to the plate BIG time with this guest post. My thanks for… Continue Reading
The high-low hem trend looks as if it is here to stay– and why not? It’s fabulous. A high-low hem is basically the mullet of design– but in a great way– with a shorter hem in front and a longer one… Continue Reading
A birthday cake for Jojo I consider myself a cake connoisseur. Cakes that I don’t enjoy are few and far between. Whenever my birthday rolls around, my cake of choice is and always has been carrot. Everyone else has an official birthday cake… Continue Reading
Loyal readers may remember that I did a Pinterest Experiment this past January involving an alternative method to polishing silver. You may also remember that I later apologized for it, as it was an unmitigated mess. I am here today to redeem myself. As I… Continue Reading

Having the ultimate beach kit has been a goal of mine since we moved to the left coast. I should probably have aimed higher…but, I digress. I wanted to become one with the beach culture out here… to make going to the beach… Continue Reading
It has been a dream of mine for years to have my own dedicated crafting space. Up until this point, my crafting has been done on various available surfaces only to be stowed away haphazardly if company was coming over.… Continue Reading
So, this is kind of funny. I’m writing the admin intro for my own guest post. A few months ago, Coralie signed us up to guest post on another blog during their “Crafting for Baby” series. We did. It was a… Continue Reading
