Whose On First

The 'Best Blog to Follow' poll closed today and boy am I proud of the ten of you who voted! Thanks for participating.

But I have some bad news... it's a tie.

And I'm not really in the mood for ties. I think we can do better, so I'm going to call those the semi-finals and give you the weekend to vote for the top three, whoever wins this one will get the reward of having us as their crazy followers.
Our finalists are:




In other news I've been thinking about some changes I want to make around here (nothing to big, don't worry). I've been thinking that my blog is lacking in depth. I talk about the fun, silly parts of life, but there is so much that I feel so passionate about that I rarely discuss here and I think that needs to change. That thought combined with the lack of use my 'monthly themes' have been getting of late has led me to this place.

From now on, my monthly themes will be about something with depth. I'm going to start in September with a theme of 'Abuse.' September is an important month for me, in many, many, many ways and I feel it would be appropriate to discuss abuse during that time period. From then on I will try to come up with other topics that are worth your time. If you have any suggestions for topics, feel free to tell me. I'd appreciate it.

Have a great weekend everyone... Can I recommend you hop back in on Sunday? Vicbowin interviewed me about modesty and you won't believe the three questions she can up with on her own. Absolutely no prompting from me. You'll be blown away. :)

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.
