What Could Be More Hilary?
Seriously? What could be more Hilary? There’s glitter! There’s Christmas! There’s baseball! It’s made of cheap, biodegradable materials! It’s just the best craft ever. And if you play your cards right (aka, you ask me for one), I’ll make one for you. And, because I’m the always benevolent crafter, I’ll even make an ornament for a team you support, assuming it’s made of colors I own and isn’t brain surgery difficult to render (Good example: the Ole Miss Rebel, he’s too detailed for me to make a glitter ornament of, but the big Ole Miss “M” I can handle. And cringe-worthy second example, I can’t do the patriotic hat on a baseball bat Yanks logo, but if you begged me and I was feeling particularly nice, I could make you that evil NY symbol).
Wild, Succulent Woman
No, this post isn’t about the weirdest art lady on Earth, Sark (but call her phone number seriously if you want an inspirational message 415.546.3742), this post is about my amazing ability to keep a succulent alive. I know, I know, that’s like beating a five year old in a “basic arithmetic” test. I’m good at keeping alive something that is advertised as being hard to kill. Congrats to me. The reason I’m posting this is that, for one, I have a long history of killing succulents and all plants for that matter. And yet, with my new dirt recipe (throwing in sand helped), I’ve managed to not only keep these guys alive, but they are thriving. Some have grown by leaps and bounds. They are almost too comfortable in my home.

Where Have I Been All Your Life?
Since October 12, I’ve been away from ye olde crafting blog. Not because I don’t love yous guys, but more like a little well-deserved break from the crazy craft blitz I was on in August and September (I’m the boss around here, so I determine when breaks are well-deserved). So I paused, reflected, cleaned up, put my thinking cap on, schemed some new plans, and renewed my little creative spirit. I think there’s good things on the horizon.
Out of Town Crafting
Do you remember me writing about how busy I was because I had this fair, and all these things to do to get ready for the fair and that a trip to Chicago was thrown in for good measure? Well, perhaps you don’t remember me being stressed out about lots and lots of to-do’s on the to-do list or the fact that I made a trip to the Windy City, but I did. And, being of the craft minded, I couldn’t resist volunteering (perhaps commandeering is a better verb choice for the situation) to do a craft for a friend, the lovely Jo, for a VIP event. And yes, I call the sweatpants and fanny pack pub crawl a VIP event. After all, it takes a lot of class to look as good as we did for hours upon hours of ridiculousness. I believe I’m digressing here, but I wanted to set the scene well. Jo wanted to go “Jon of Jon and Kate Plus Eight” level of classy by wearing an Ed Hardy shirt and Juicy Couture sweatpants. Of course, why buy when you can make?
