Recovered Office Chair
8 Comments   DIY, life, me, sewing
Another job that got done last week was I finally got my office chair recovered!

The rest of the chair, mechanically, was still as good as day one so it was definitely just time to give it a fix. We...

But anyway, since Melissa and I are getting ready to open registration for our next round of Created from Color's Basic Copic Class I thought how embarassingly fun to compare THEN to NOW.....

Do it for YOU
16 Comments   life, me, Uncategorized
{personal image} That's how I feel today. This weekend a stilted conversation led me to a revelation while I laid awake trying to sleep last night. I think on a few things in my life I've been waiting for things to happen or be done instead of just doing them and I'm done waiting. I feel very calm and empowered today. I feel like I can take on the world and give it the finger. I don't...

Have you ever had the urge…
9 Comments   life, me, Uncategorized, wahm

VLCD Mini Album
10 Comments   Diet, life, me, mini album

I have such a long way to go to get to a weight that I'll feel happy and content with that normal dieting wasn't going to do it for me. During my pregnancy with my my daughter I basically ballooned! Crazy ballooned. I'm not going to...
