Ok, so this post was going to be about how I won’t be doing anymore projects for awhile. We leave for China next week. NEXT WEEK, PEOPLE! Needless to say, things are getting to be a bit hectic. However, I am DONE with all my performances. They were a smashing success. I am so pleased… Continue reading Project of the Week

Project of the (Previous) Week
I missed my Monday deadline, sorry. But I did do a project last week! And it’s super cute. I did these Neon Shoes DIY: I had a pair of brown, strappy heels that I thought would work. Here they are: I decided to go with the pink and yellow, since I liked it. But then… Continue reading Project of the (Previous) Week
Project of the Week
I’ve been a bit brain-dead the past few weeks. It’s performance season in the land of music teachers. I had my kindergarten performance at the end of March, and then the 3rd grade recorder concert last week. Both went extremely well, but they leave me very drained. I have one more to go at the… Continue reading Project of the Week
Project of the Week
Does this count? Happy Easter! p.s. Last week’s garden post was technically my project of the week, since I did have to plant many new seeds. I should’ve specified that :)
Project of the Week
Actually, make that “Project of the Past Two Weeks”. Tada! In case you’re wondering what it is, it’s a combo trellis for my garden (cucumbers and squash, specifically) and shade for our front door/window, which get quite toasty in the summer. I got the idea from here. Phil’s sister sent me that link last year… Continue reading Project of the Week
Project of the week
My goal is to do my blog post on Mondays. Let’s pretend it’s last Monday, ok? I definitely was NOT ignoring my goal and playing Skyrim and sipping tea all day while it’s rained/snowed outside. So my project of the week is actually three different projects. Three very simple ones that were on my list.… Continue reading Project of the week
Make-it Fridays. Or Mondays. Whatever.
This name I borrowed from my awesome friend with electric blue hair, Amanda Roberts, owner of Geek Details. She holds weekly gatherings where it’s an open invitation for people to come over and make things. I think they started at Make-it Mondays, and then she switched it to Fridays (scroll down a bit on her page… Continue reading Make-it Fridays. Or Mondays. Whatever.
Kitchen Efficienizing (Part 2)
Backsplash Edition: Ok, so this isn’t really efficienizing anything, but it sure is giving the kitchen some pizzazz! We’ve been thinking and exploring ways to put up a backsplash that are a) doable with our limited handyman skills and tools, and b) inexpensive. I read an article on Apartment Therapy about DIY Backsplash Ideas that… Continue reading Kitchen Efficienizing (Part 2)
Kitchen Efficienizing (Part 1)
Yes, I know that’s not a real word. My latest project has been to efficienize the kitchen. Felipe would always complain about how hard it was for both of us to make dinner together in there. He said once, “We need a more efficient kitchen!” So that got me thinking… I couldn’t do anything… Continue reading Kitchen Efficienizing (Part 1)
The Virtual Making of Things
I love it when Cory Doctorow tweets out a request for ideas for his next MAKE Magazine column. Near instantly, my Twitter feed is flooded with wonderful and intriguing ideas, each one as fantastic as the next. This time, the ideas caused my brain wheels to spin feverishly, and then I had a light bulb.… Continue reading The Virtual Making of Things
