June Crafting Challenge!

Remember how, in May, I made a bow tie and it was a lot harder than expected? And the same held true for April’s craft? I decided that, for June, I was going to take things simply. Simply and beautifully. Lucky for me, June was dedicated to a young woman anyway (girls are way easierContinueContinue reading “June Crafting Challenge!”

May Crafting Challenge!

Way back in middle school I knew a dude named “Gabe,” and he signed up for the Crafting Challenge! (For May. I did complete this in May, by the way…just didn’t post until now). Now, I don’t really see Gabe around all that often…but I did run into him at the family’s Snowball in JanuaryContinueContinue reading “May Crafting Challenge!”

April Crafting Challenge went down; I just forgot to tell you about it

There were made crafts in April!! I promise! I just didn’t post about them. Here’s what’s up: the recipient for April is a great guy named Alan who lives somewhere in California.

Or rather, it’s inContinueContinue reading “Apparently I can’t be trusted with glue”

I thought it was fitting that her gift would be sent in February, a month in which we celebrate love. You see, AprilContinueContinue reading “Crafting Challenge 2013: For Miss April”

Crafting Challenge 2013. Numero Uno for Juli-YEAH!

Remember when I said that I wanted to make thirteen crafts in 2013 presented on the thirteenth of each month?? “I meant what I said. And I said what I meant. An elephant is faithful, one hundred percent!” That’s a quote from Dr. Suess’ Horton. And it’s my second time quoting it on the blog.ContinueContinue reading “Crafting Challenge 2013.

Lauren believes in me

Yesterday I wrote this on my friend Lauren’s Facebook wall: Everything written above is true: thought, encouragement, purchase. Done. Facts: I want to make a dress. I have green and black crepe. I need to sew like a maniac if I plan on being successful. I don’t mind deadlines, honestly. Plus: Lauren believes in me.ContinueContinue reading “Lauren believes in me”
