Why China Knuckles?
Why China Knuckles? Why the hell not. China Knuckles were first created as a joke. I thought the irony of a weapon made of china would give people a laugh. Little did I know that my sense of humor would be shared by so many. The first batch sold so quickly, that I decided to [...]

Etsyversary Sale!
My last post here was in January. I have no excuse. Actually, I have a couple, but I will spare you. August 30th is my 6 year Etsyversary! I can not believe it has been that long. Started it on a whim, not knowing how many great opportunities it would provide, I am grateful to [...]
Taco Soup
Taco soup may be my new favorite thing, so I had to share. It is super easy and there are so many ways that you can alter it. It is also pretty healthy, considering that I got the original recipe from a Weight Watchers recipe. Here is what I did… 1 lb. ground turkey or lean beef [...]

Everything you wanted to know about my Martha Stewart adventure, and more.
Yesterday was, perhaps, the strangest day of my life. Before I get to all of that, let me tell you how it happened…. Seems like these bizarre events always start with an unexpected email. I received one of these emails last week in the middle of stressing over Crafty Bastards. My friend Katie was picked [...]

Sorry, I am a blog slacker.
I wish I could say that I haven’t blogged because I have been busy traveling on summer vacation. Unfortunately, that is not the case, just busy breaking plates and being a mom. I have been working on Fall wedding orders, custom orders and collecting plates to break for fall and holiday shows. I just updated the [...]
