Hello and Welcome!

Today I get the privilege of being noted for my hard work and dedication.

Okay, really I contacted them, but still... I'm being featured!


Our words of wisdom does this blogs of note thing that I just had to get in on. So here I am... in on it.

Now that I have your attention why don't I get to work. By the time I'm done you'll all be scrolling my sidebar looking for the follow button... which only the truly sincere and dedicated readers do. :)

Me.
My name is Cannwin (not really but it's all you'll get out of me).

I am a 30 year old (I finally said it. Whew) South Dakotan, with a scoop of stubborn and a pound of sarcasm.

My formal education ended with a high school diploma and I have spent the last decade teaching myself about anything and everything that peaks my interest. I read voraciously and, it's possible, addictively--my husband got me a book light for our anniversary this year--and I adore writing.

Some oddities about me...

*I once lost all hearing in one ear from too much earwax (totally gross).

*My father lives in Africa (that's not really about me).

*I have a slightly crooked toe from when, as a kid, I tried to jump over a creek and broke it (to show off).

Now onto the good stuff. Which blog posts should I show you.....

There are three in my bio (sidebar) so I won't give you those ones. Hmm.




For more posts you can scroll through my sidebar. --->


Hope you all enjoy and welcome!

I did read you post over at MMB and you summed up us Mormons rather nicely! Although I have to admit, my horns do surface sometimes.

I like that you have a scoop of stubbornness and touch of sarcasm I feel closer to you already HA! You sound just like me!!

Mamarazzi, the doctor told me to let the hot water run into my ears when I was showering. Just tip my head and let the hot water gush in.

My mom always told me to never let water into my ears so I'm having a hard time trying to do as the doctor told me... but so far I haven't dropped dead from water in my ears. :)

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

Image
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.
