I’m throwing in the towel, folks. This gem that I picked up a garage sale over the summer (first mentioned here) for a mere $40 has proven too powerful for my rookie upholstery skills. I had grand plans for this guy, including a beautiful deep gray fabric, an some WD-4o for the wheels and a [...]
Over the weekend I took a little spontaneous excursion to Bachman’s Idea House. Having just learned of its existence last week I wasn’t sure what the site would entail but I had heard nothing but good things from numerous people.

It’s time for a trip to the hardware store! My sister and I are making these next time she’s home from school for the weekend. It might get a bit heavy to wear for the everyday but I think they could make a statement now and then. I’ll let you know how they turn out, [...]
I had one of those slap your forehead, say out loud ‘Why didn’t I think of that?!’ moments today when I saw this. What an awesome way to send a portfolio or even just a very special mix-tape. I’m bookmarking this one for the next time I come across a book that’s begging for a [...]
What’s a girl to do when it’s snowing, an uninteresting Super Bowl is on and she wants to procrastinate doing actual work (like coding an entire website for her sister)?
