So you all know my sewing machine died right? ?If you weren’t paying attention… it did. ?My very expensive, fairly new sewing machine. ?I broke it. ?It is currently being fixed and I am without a sewing machine. ?I haven’t been without one in many many years and it is like having an arm cut […]
She’s Crafty
wookin’ po a job
or better yet, little jobs that might make some money. My online portfolio was sorely neglected over the past year and I was getting tired of the old Free Range Media site. ?So this afternoon I found a theme I liked (*shock*horror* the web designer used a stock theme!) and I put it up. ?Yes, […]
I suck at gifts
More specifically, I suck at gifts for my husband. ?Which is odd because I love to give gifts and I love my husband. ?You would think it would be easy. ?Trouble is… he has expensive taste. ?I don’t purchase him clothing that often because odds are he’ll return what I purchase. ?He outright told me […]
Another day, another bag
I got a wild hair to start making bags again. Part of it had to do with my cousin Sarah coming to visit and her falling in love with this bag. She graduates from Mizzou this summer and I made her an orange version as a graduation gift. I figured, well since I have all […]
The Great White Hype

Christmas in our house
I have long given up trying to make Christmas perfect in our house.? I figured that one out after our first summer when I couldn’t cram enough stuff into the allotted 3 month time span.? Come to find out Christmas is much the same.? There is only so much holly jolly that is allowed in […]
I was going to write about turkey
I was going to write about turkey, but since that is so 4 days ago I won’t.? Our Thanksgiving turned out nice despite my slight mishaps.? No homes were burned down in the process, so we’ll call it good. I also won’t bore you with tales of chocolate.? After the past month I am sure […]
Handmade goodness
For quite a while I’ve wanted to set up my own Etsy shop.? There are only so many handbags I can make for myself.? I’ve hoarded way too much fabric and something has to get done with it.? I finally bit the bullet and got that checked off my list.? Now the task becomes actually […]
