Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Priming, or Do What I Say, Not What I Do. This is not the most exciting post, but it is the most enthusiastic. Please, for the love of all that's holy, please, please. Prime your wooden furniture well before you try painting it. This is the parable of my bedside table. I started with this old wooden thrift store table, and sanded it to remove the (many) dings:. Next, I found an easy, lovely guide on the inestimable Young House Love. Here are images of steps one through 9:. I had...

Thursday, December 27, 2012. The zwinky that ate my life. Not to get dramatic or anything, but it did. Every year I ask my niece to draw me a picture of what she wants her Halloween costume to look like, and then we make it for her. This year, the internet interceded. Are you sure it needs wings made out of bone? Dragon. Yes.". Do the see-through bits really need to be see-through? They're bone wings; if there's no skin then you wouldn't put heavy stuff on them.". Do you really want it to be navy blue?

Monday, September 26, 2011. The Mother of Invention. I wanted a fusion of the 20's and 80's for a headpiece to wear to an upcoming wedding, but had a really limited color palette due to the wild fabric from which I'd made my dress. I also wanted bling, but only a diamond-colored brooch was available. Luckily for me, markers made my diamonds into rubies:. Colored-in with a regular permanent marker. After a couple of "coats" of marker ink, applied with the pen. And slapped onto a quickly-made feather pad.

Saturday, June 11, 2011. Lindsey Adelman Chandelier Project. Via lindsey adelman studio. Once the interwebs told me about Lindsey Adelman and Roll and Hill, there was no going back. I’m definitely a fan. Their designs are vivid, unusual and striking without taking over a whole space: . 160;“. the most important [rule of thumb] is that bigger is always better, especially when it comes to. Chandeliers . In design development . honestly, I think I spend more time convincing. Adelman also offers (free!

Saturday, February 19, 2011. Victory Rolls - Series. Oh, victory rolls, how do I love thee? Or maybe just why? It's not 80's, but it's big. It's not a chignon, but it's fancy. It doesn't involve anything more than pins and time. This was a recessionista hair style in the black and white days, and I think it can be now as well. The rolls are surprisingly easy to do, but the volume takes some time to get right. Luckily, the internet has come to my rescue! Let me know what you think; comments make me happy!

Sunday, February 27, 2011. Meatless Mondays: Guest Post - Creamy Grits with a Fresh Tomato Pan Sauce. My favorite brunch recipe; fluffy, thick grits with a fresh tomato sauce to thin it a bit. We ate a version of this twice a month at a (lovely but expensive) brunch place 'til I realized I could make it at home for pennies a serving. It's filling and unusual and sticks to your ribs. Tom.

The study of the relationship between food and culture and Denise Gass. Friday, January 28, 2011. Photo Credit: Stephen Lewis. I was lucky enough to have studied at a small cooking school in Florence. Our text was a hodge podge of documents comprised of basically an old Italian grandma telling some stories and doing her best to not be vague about cooking processes that are second nature to her. And from her lips, then translated by someone who is about a 3rd grade English level. Tuesday, January 25, 2011.
