The word “hummingbird” takes me immediately to my grandmother’s kitchen in the summertime. I spent a lot of time with my Georgia grandparents growing up. And I love the memory I have of stirring the sugar and water together in a pot over the… Continue Reading
I’m in this weird place right now where things are coming together. Projects that have languished (some for years) are being completed. Lots of things are getting checked off my to-do list, and wheels are in motion on a lot… Continue Reading
[spotify track=”spotify:track:6llAqB4o2GS2Sx0rKvDIK0″] Did you know that Fun Things To Do While You’re Waiting has a Twitter account? We do! We do! We’ve had it since launching last March! We haven’t been as diligent on Twitter as we should have been,… Continue Reading
I just wanted to take a moment to talk about how cool my pal Sheila is… Although she won’t admit it, she’s is an amazing knitter. So much so that her original design submission just took 3rd place in a… Continue Reading
This is a dual post. There is a Pinterest Experiment, but there is also a bit of a teaser about things to come. I feel like I have spent a majority of this weekend polishing. There are a lot of things going… Continue Reading
My name is Leigh, and I have an addiction to “bad” t.v. I’m not talking about television that is poorly acted/written or produced. I’m talking about reality shows that document how crazy and amazing humans can be. My favorite examples being: Intervention, Hoarders,… Continue Reading
THE Sheila Ralston was sweet enough to bring us another great guest post today. You may remember Sheila from here and here, as well! This is some pretty inspiring stuff. In this post Sheila takes stock of a crafting collection and resolves to use it… Continue Reading
When I meet with readers of the blog, I like to talk to them about what they like and what kind of articles they would like seeing. Today’s post suggestion came from my cousin Judy and addresses something that isn’t… Continue Reading
I have fallen head over heels in love with personalized digital photo books! I mean for reals! It began as a crush at the end of 2012 but by the end of 2013 it was full-on love. As I have… Continue Reading
If you follow the blog regularly, you might recall a post I did several months ago about a Star Trek-inspired onesie (an infants outfit). The post found its way onto Reddit and was even featured on another craft blog! In the post, I… Continue Reading
So, I have a few shows that I watch throughout the day semi-regularly. Like, I rarely see any one show five times a week but I generally see each of them once or twice. One of these shows is The Chew. I have… Continue Reading
Dear Readers, My sweet and clever friend Carina wrote this interesting essay about ditching the traditional shampoo/conditioner method of hair washing on a cool fitness blog she is running. I knew immediately after reading it that it was something I wanted to share… Continue Reading
Life is full of compromises. Unless you are super, well-off one of the compromises you make when you live in a big city is that space is at a premium. I am super jealous of Coralie’s ability to decorate her… Continue Reading
I have lived all my 33-years without participating in a single “Black Friday”… until this year. Saving 15% on an appliance never trumped my desire to sleep in after eating Turkey the day before. In fact, just thinking about storming a store in a mob of… Continue Reading
As a little girl I sincerely thought that “centerpiece” was synonymous with “fresh flower arrangement.” I had no clue that a centerpiece could be anything. My paternal grandmother was the only one in my close family that did much entertaining and around lunch of… Continue Reading
Yesterday was a great day for me. I was feeling much better (thankyaforaskin’) and was able to catch up on a lot of stuff that was on my list. I got to talk to some of my favorite people today… Continue Reading
I love photos. They take me right back to the moment they capture. They are a back-up for my memory. I have always loved them- I just have. I have collected picture frames since elementary school. In fact, I have… Continue Reading
And… so it begins. I got a gig, y’all; an honest-to-goodness Hollywood gig. I say, “gig” because it isn’t long term. In fact, it ends on Friday… but (if I play my cards right) it could/might lead to more. I… Continue Reading
I am a super-feminist. Women can do anything and everything they set their minds to– and don’t even try to stop them. We can run countries/businesses, create life, and go to space. Ladies have come so far– although a lot of… Continue Reading
Now that I am at the tail end of unpacking, I have discovered that I have a lot of items that were super appropriate in Chicago… but will not serve me well in Southern California… like snow boots, for example.… Continue Reading
