Greetings, friends, Romans, countrymen. I thought long and hard yesterday about whether or not to post, and what, should I decide to take the plunge. If you have read this far, you have probably put two and two together: “a guide to failure?” you thought, followed by “didn’t know what to post…this woman never shutsContinue reading “The Crafty Polymath’s Guide to Failure”

It’s Friday; I’m in love!
I have been working diligently on a new project, but I hit a bit of snag, and I’m having to rethink the finished product. Therefore, I am not posting yet. I am also baking brownies. Or was. The timer just went off. Mmmm! Brownies! So in lieu of showcasing my own crafts today, I wantedContinue reading “It’s Friday; I’m in love!”
Throwback Thursday: Paczki Day 2012
Disclaimer: I am not Polish. But my husband is, so there’s that. For those of you unfamiliar with Paczki, they are a delicious tradition of Polish Mardi Gras. Since the season of Lent requires a lot of bland eating, Paczki were a way to use up all of the ingredients that would shortly become (more)Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Paczki Day 2012”

Wedding Wednesday: The Sam & Eric Exhibit
Happy Hump Day! So, if you’ve read more than one post on this lil blog, you will see that I enjoy puns and alliteration more than should be allowed. Perhaps it’s a throwback from my days of writing MLA papers (MLA requires the use of a creative title), or perhaps it’s just another quirk ofContinue reading “Wedding Wednesday: The Sam & Eric Exhibit”
Twofer Tuesday 2: Miniature Magic
I mentioned in “A Day in Pictures“, or rather showed, that I bought a new miniature at Riders on Saturday. I collect, paint, and play a Warhammer army of Chaos, but I was looking for something a little different from metal and grotesque creatures. Don’t get me wrong – I love my dragon ogre, butContinue reading “Twofer Tuesday 2: Miniature Magic”
Twofer Tuesday 1: Site Review, Geek Crafts [dot] Com
Since I am so new to crafting, I must steal [read: borrow] ideas from the web. But, I mean, that’s what they’re there for, right? And I find a lot of great ideas and projects for the likes of me. A real bonus is when I can find projects that also satisfy my inner geek.Continue reading “Twofer Tuesday 1: Site Review, Geek Crafts [dot] Com”
Stick a pin in me; I’m done
When I woke up yesterday, I had already decided to take onat least three projects, one of them being a sewing project I have been putting off – a pin cushion. It seemed easy enough, and I thought it would make a good pause between other projects. Hand sewing, for me, can be almost aContinue reading “Stick a pin in me; I’m done”
Great way to end a day
I woke up this morning to a grey sky and rain, which gave way to clouds, and then brightened to a sunny day. A hot, sunny day. And for some reason, the fan wasn’t even on for most of it. Feeling in rather a crafty mood, I went to the local Goodwill to see whatContinue reading “Great way to end a day”
A Day in Pictures
Yesterday, the hubby and I went out and about on the town, so I did very little crafting and much less thinking about what to write. But we did go to some crafty places, and we had a good time, so I am going to post a day in pictures instead. While I could giveContinue reading “A Day in Pictures”
