DIY State Canvas

I went to a garage sale the other day and the lady running it came up to me and asked me if I'd like this canvas before she took it to salvation army. After shuddering at the sight of it, I finally said yes thinking of all the possibilities I could do with this free gift! A few coats of grey paint... A...

My Whole30 Recap

I know I've been basically silent but I've been busy, y'all! I've been learning, cheering, and most recently, whole30ing it up. While on the whole30, I worked out 4-5 days a week so while I didn't necessarily lost weight, I lost inches and gained a whole lot of muscle. *flexes* Also what I lost including inches... -Love handles !! -Splotchy face/ breakouts -2ish...

Stereotypes and Detroit

Last week I invited a friend to go with me to a play in downtown Detroit. It was at an outdoor park in the late evening. They declined because of how dangerous they felt it would be. No offense to them but I was a bit offended. The show was actually amazing and we met some really cool people standing in line. Anyways,...

DIY Cardboard Deer Head

When I redid my basement two years ago, I wanted to put in a plaster deer head and a wall of raw wood slices. I did neither but 2 years later I'm halfway done with my design. Ooops! I found a template at  DIY Deer Head Instructions and I was going to use directions for Paper Mache Deer Head at Imperfectly Imaginable but needless to say...

WIW: I actually DO own some cute clothes!

Since I wear a uniform 5 days a week, I try and push myself to wear cute outfits once in a while and actually try on my appearance. It's actually an enlightening experience and I enjoy it.

DIY Handpainted Kitchen Towels

I am SO overwhelmingly happy with how well these turned out! I picked up a yard of muslin from Jo Ann's for $2 and then I traced a current kitchen towel we had to get an approximate size.  I finished the edges by just folding them over about 1/4 of an inch and doing a straight stitch. I tried to iron them but...

Chocolate Dipped Orange Cookies

Chocolate and orange just go together so well. I can't really describe why but they just do! Okay chocolate really just goes with everything but still. The texture of these cookies isn't super crisp but isn't super soft either, it's in between and I love it. They're not super sweet so they won't upset your stomach like some other cookies do. Due to...
