When I was deciding what I wanted to pack for my weekend trip to Cincinnati for our friends’ bar opening, I started to go through my closet. I am definitely in a “black phase”, so I decided to steer myself in that direction. The weather there was a bit warmer than here, so I opted […]
After about 15 years, it is time to repaint a bathroom right? This was a long time in coming. I was actually thinking that I had painted the bathroom this year, but it was in October. How time does fly. This was what it looked like before: I painted the room in two colors. One […]
I seem to have a bit of an affinity for fabrics with skulls on them. Last year Twisted Needle Textiles had the perfect round for me, too! Lots of skulls, so I purchased several different fabrics in different bases and even ordered more when they had a rerun round. This fabric was from the first […]
After going to a job interview downtown, and wanting to bring my laptop over some downtime, I realized that my laptop bag had seen better days. The straps were ripping off the pleather…which happens with pleather. I decided to make myself a new laptop bag out of a white calfhide side I purchased last year […]
I had another set of pillows on my “to do” list, and that was for our sectional. It kind of needs pillows to lean against and all the pillows we have are small. I made them several years ago. I decided to design a pattern for them, and ended up making 4 different patterns. One […]

In my never ending curiosity to see what I can put my artwork onto, I came across inkbox on Instagram. Having several of my designs that would lend themselves to it, I decided to give it a go! I decided to do my wolf skull tattoo, and thought it would work without editing. It turns […]
As it was sooooo hard to keep up with my weekly updates, I decided to opt for an easier to handle monthly update. I had some words picked out for 2019 to focus on: Satisfied – This relates to my work life. I want to have a new job that I will be satisfied with […]
The 52 Week Sewing Challenge for this week was Sew Something Red. I already sewed up some underwear with some red in the fabric, but I wanted to do this, as well. I have seen some Assassin’s Creed inspired hoodies on Pinterest with the red and black colors in them, and thought they looked cool. […]
For the 52 Week Sewing Challenge – Week 3, the challenge was to sew a pattern you owned but had not sewn up yet. I had downloaded the free Bell Town Vest from Straight Stitch Designs at least a year ago. It was also the pattern I had planned to use for my furry vest […]
