Ding Dong the Duck is Done
Pittsburgh had an unusual visitor over the past month. He was big, yellow, and thought to have brought good luck to the Pirates. He was a giant, forty feet tall and three stories wide Duck. Bill and I took a trip down after going out to dinner, because nothing says romance than a giant duck.… Continue reading Ding Dong the Duck is Done

Magic Coffee Table Office
So, since upgrading to the bigger TV and the new Hemnes tv stand, a lot of time has been spent with this view lately... As wonderful as these changes have been, it's meant that the coffee table has become an even bigger mess than normal.

I GOT A JOB! I actually started last week but my superstitious self wanted to wait until I was sure I was really 'in' before sharing. I'm back on track now working in a marketing position for a mid-sized company in the area. They take really great care of their employees and are a fun… Continue reading THIS JUST IN!

Sea Glass Decor – Update!
Remember how I told you about the magical beach I found in Poole, England that was covered in sea glass? Well I brought it all home (like I described here) and briefly stowed it in a seeded glass vase. Well, it lasted in the vase for only a week or two before I had to… Continue reading Sea Glass Decor – Update!

Chevron Addicts Anonymous
While working on a few things around here, it's come to my attention that I may have a problem. Mainly with chevron. Specifically, teal and white chevron. Let's take a look: Way back at the start of all this, I made a Z Gallerie inspired frame that was, you guessed it, teal and white chevron.… Continue reading Chevron Addicts Anonymous

Washington DC – a Wealth of National Parks!

Hey girl. July 2013 in Review
Where did July go?!? Time flies when you're moving and job-searching! But there was still enough time to get a few projects in. Obviously the main theme of the month was MOVING which was a much bigger endeavor than I anticipated, taking a lot of time and limiting the fun things we shared. But there… Continue reading Hey girl.

Double Three Dollar Deals
This weekend was spent going through the rigmarole to officially become a resident of Pennsylvania. It was a more complicated process than it really needs to be, and there were a few moments of identity crisis. I've been a proud (SOUTH!) Jersey girl my whole life.... and now Pennsylvania is next to my name in… Continue reading Double Three Dollar Deals

Move [Still] In Progress
Thankfully our neighbors are good people (or just don't care enough to say anything) as I have been using the hall as staging space while working through everything and nobody's had any problems with it. In a one bedroom apartment, getting everything in and not feeling crowded has proven a bit of a challenge, but… Continue reading Move [Still] In Progress
