Spook-tacular Times

Buffet Display

I’m not normally big on Halloween decor.  The traditional carved pumpkin, a couple of fake spider webs and I usually call it a day. Perhaps it’s because we now live in a kid riddled neighborhood, or perhaps it’s the single family home syndrome, but this year I went all out.  In fact, I’ve found that [...]

Dog gone it

Life feels like it is moving at lightening speed. I have 1/2 a dozen projects going on & on top of my personal projects, the Etsy store has been a hit.  I’ve been cranking out little Hokie gift sets faster than I thought possible. Be sure to contact me if you need a little something [...]

Field for a Feast

Table1

On Friday, I showed you a one of my recent (relatively speaking) projects:  our Tailgate table. Today I’m happy to share the tutorial to establish your own Field for a feast.  This project is so easy I feel silly showing a tutorial….but just in case. Supplies: Green Fabric of appropriate length & width for your [...]

Septober

Wait…..it’s October?  When did that happen? I had/have so much to share with you but time flies when you’re having fun or working hard.  Since I’m so far behind, I’m going to pretend it’s September – because that’s what I have to talk about. In our house September signals FOOTBALL!  We’re a sports house, in [...]

Grand Larceny

Jenna-Lyons-3

I have committed Grand Larceny, well maybe just petty theft, but this interview is far too good not to share. In the interest of giving credit where credit is due…I stole this from Erin Gates @ Elements of Style (who stole it from Garance Dore to be fair). Jenna Lyons is one of my ultimate [...]

Fall is Back?

I must admit, I’m a bit jealous of all the Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and blog posts from my more Northern friends. I’ve read about your hunt for black skinny jeans, your delight in the return of Pumpkin Spice Lattes, the heightened hectic mornings, and the new bite in the air.  It seems that as you [...]

The weekend that keeps on giving.

GiftSet

So far we’ve talked about how AWESOME Bruce was, how ADORABLE my family is but let’s top off the weekend with how WONDERFUL my friends are. After rough housing with my nieces and catching up with Mumma, Pops, Auntie, & Peanut, Beau and I headed over to celebrate his bestie’s baby. Mr & Mrs. L [...]

Girls Only

MMMonkeyFace

I told you on Tuesday about my BEST WEEKEND EVER but was only able to get through Friday night for fear of droning on and on about how much fun I had. So let’s fill you in on our Saturday Adventures. After completely rocking out on Friday night, Beau keeps comparing it to a religious [...]

Best Weekend…..EVER!!!

T-Rock approves

Beau and I may have had the best weekend EVER!!! Our friends and family mean everything to us and this weekend was full of them. On Friday night we went to see The Boss with Beau’s brother and sister-in-law.  That’s right, Bruce Springsteen the man himself.  I spent days searching for/planning the perfect “rock-out” concert [...]

Fresh Start.

Whew….Well don’t I feel refreshed. After a month and a half off the blog is back up and running.  It may not seem like big changes but there has been LOTS going on behind the scenes. The things you may notice are the colors, layout, and logos but what you can’t see are the new [...]
