[spotify track=”spotify:track:6M25FTHCAOy7ihR5U6k5pB”] This post is not about celebrating a holiday surrounding classic character The Cheat from Homestar Runner. This post ALSO isn’t about Bob Kuban and the In-Men’s classic song, “The Cheater”… though I wish it was. And although this is a post about temptation, it… Continue Reading
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

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
I would like to offer my apology to (apparently) everyone in the Northern Hemisphere who isn’t in Southern California. I’m so sincerely sorry. Between Polar Vortexes and Winter Storm Leon, things are looking pretty chilly for most of the people in… 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
I am so excited to share with y’all another great guest post today. Our friend, Holly brings us another great, thoughtful post about a fantastic social/media experience that she and her family were chosen in which to participate. You may remember Holly from her amazing… 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
You know the drill. These are the fotos that tickle me. There is a slight Holidaze theme but surely there will be something in this batch that will make you chuckle. As I mentioned earlier in the blog, certain decorating… 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
After the last post of the 88-Day Challenge, I felt like since the challenge was done, so were the posts about it. Though, the more time passed (after the first of the year) the more I thought about the experience… Continue Reading
After an amazing, yet exhausting holiday season back in Georgia I hopped on a 7 p.m., 4.5-hour flight back to LA yesterday. Since travel days typically involve airports, packing, and goodbyes they are generally pretty crummy. Although my day yesterday had… Continue Reading
Parting really is such sweet sorrow. As excited as I am about returning to Cali (especially with the cold snap sweeping every part of the nation EXCEPT California), leaving home always breaks my heart. Whether I’ve stayed a week or… Continue Reading

I wanted to write many thoughtful posts about all the things that make the season special to me and mine. Fortunately (or unfortunately for the readers)… Continue Reading
Aaaand, we’re here… the finish line– the end of the 88-Day Challenge. All told, I’ve dropped 9 pounds. Not the 20 I set out to lose… but better than a stick in the eye, you know? But, with clothes that fit better and… Continue Reading
As a holiday gift to ourselves and our families, we have decided that FTTDWYW will be taking this week OFF (well, kind of….)! We both severely underestimated our schedules during this season and as the season really kicks into high gear, we thought we… Continue Reading
I severely overestimated the amount of time I would have this season… Which was silly of me… When has there ever been a holiday season that wasn’t exhausting and chock-full of activities? If we’re not AT a party/event, then we’re… 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
