DIY: Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper shakers!
Ok, I was a huge kid-nerd for Blues Clues... but for Steve, not the next dude to come along with the weird purple or orange sweater... who WAS that guy? I mean, we know why Steve left... toke and coke y'all, toke and coke. But anyway, I was perusing the isles of Walmart today when … Continue reading DIY: Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper shakers!
Country Chic Party: Neon-colored Mason Chandelier
Last Saturday was the big party day for Michelle! After weeks of planning and preparation, it was a fabulously successful day but over far too quickly. Family from both sides came up from North Carolina, Virginia, etc to celebrate the couple and we partied in the humid Maryland air until we couldn't anymore.

The “Broad Stripes and Bright Stars” shirt
Happy Independence Day to all in the US! I pray it's not terribly hot and we don't get the same storms that have been moving through the DC area in the past few days.

Craft and Wine Night: Our past fun
I'm currently house-sitting and without super crafting supplies, so I thought I'd do a throw-back. Luckily I did bring my crocheting, so I'll be able to handle that for the time-being. There are kitties in my midst and I am not sure if they fall into the stereotypical realm in their love for yarn... so … Continue reading Craft and Wine Night: Our past fun
