Coming up in July

Wow, my first month of blogging is nearly behind me and I really attacked it with a vengence. I'm not sure I can keep up this pace, but I'll try to blog once a day. July will be interesting for all of us here in my household though, and if I slack off feel free to harass me.

First off in July we will be moving, as you might have gathered by now. Next week we head over to South Dakota to go house hunting for 4 days. Then it's back here to get more boxes packed. My little sister will be moving out as well, so we will be helping with that. Robert's last day of work will be the 28th of July and then we will be on our way. Classes at USD begin on Aug. 11th so that week will be interesting as well. So basically, what I'm saying is that I might be in and out all month.

BUT, I have joined a little group called, Tuesday Tell All. They have a topic for discussion every Tuesday. Sounds like a great writing exercise so I've joined up. I've also come up with this grand idea. Every month I will have a topic. So, although not all of my blogs will be devoted to that specific idea, it will be recurring throughout the month. This gives me time to work on different aspects of any given theme. Hmm, anyway if you want to join me that would be magnificent, especially for any foreign reader's, as this gives us all insight into how other culture's and countries think.

Since July holds the birthday of my wonderful country (that would be the 4th of July... Independence Day for anyone who might be confused), I thought I would make my topic for the seventh month of the year, Patriotism/Liberty. Anything that falls under that genre. Tell me if you want to participate with me.

Anywho, back to wandering around the internet avoiding my daily responsibilities. Maybe I will post a proper blog later today.

love ya!

I'd love to! If you'll tell me where to go. I'm not sure that website John gave me is the right one. More information would be helpful.

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o

Mutterings of a Middle-Aged Dreamer

Image
Use your words, my dear sweet soul, they are inside of you... So find them. Write, you silly girl, write so hard the world will never forget you. But does it matter if the world remembers you?  Age begins to press its hands upon your chest and the need to be remembered seems to increase with the pressure.  Stop. That's not a line of thought you're interested in pursuing.  Live in the now. Does it matter if the world remembers you if your neighbor is going hungry?  Perhaps age is merely pushing you out the door.  Go. Live in the now.
