life
Life is what happens when I am not breaking plates.
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 [...]
Happy New Year!
I really hope that the people who claim that the way in which you ring in the new year dictates what your year will be like are totally wrong. If this is the case, then we will be sick and sleep through it. December was a tornado. An awesome Real Simple induced tornado, but exhausting anyway. I guess [...]
Real Simple! The whole long story.
Yesterday was a good day. Got to stay home with my Nolan, clean every piece of laundry that was in the house, make cookies, and enjoy the first dusting of snow. If that wasn’t enough, the mail man delivered my new slippers and a copy of Real Simple with a piece of my jewelry in it! [...]
Recycled Book and China Purse for Power of the Purse
When Coleen of the Howard County Arts Council asked me to create a recycled plate purse for the Power of the Purse auction for The Women’s Giving Circle of Howard County, I was extremely honored and said yes right away. Two minutes later, I thought, how the hell do you make a purse out of [...]
Maryland Crab Soup
I have had a Tupperware container of crab claws in my freezer since the summer. I always save them with the intention of making soup, but for some reason I have always been mystified by Maryland crab soup recipes. Last week, I decided to jump in and make my first pot. I googled the recipe [...]
Year in Preview – 2010
I hope everyone is having a productive new year so far. Despite starting my year off sick, I am excited for this year. Instead of doing a year in review post for 2009, I thought I would rather look ahead to some of the good things on the horizon. 2010 started off well with a great blog [...]
Finished Tattoo!
After 7 hours of pain (and about the same amount of time in traffic) my tattoo is finished! I am SO happy with it, it turned out better then I even imagined. James at Bethesda Tattoo is the man and totally worth sitting in traffic for. Here is the inspiration and beginning…
Tattoo Part I
I got to Bethesda is record time to make it to my appointment at 12:30. I decided to got all the way to Bethesda to have James do my tattoo because he is a friend’s husband, I have met and liked him, and have seen some of his work, which was amazing! I was afraid [...]
Anyone seen my summer?
I have survived another Artscape! Phew, it was awesome, thanks to everyone who stopped by. It seems like I spend my whole summer preparing for Artscape, then as soon as it is over I have to think ahead to holiday shows, can you believe that? I will be updating my shows page over the next [...]
