Handmade Gifts

I thought I would show a couple of gifts I made over the holidays for friends. I used a technique that should have worked a lot better but it didn't. So in the end, this project took me a lot a lot longer.

My friend is having a baby and she loves David Bowie. David Bowie on a onesie. Yessss.


Another one of my friends loves witches... And so I made this one. It is printed on a green flowy shirt.



I am pretty happy with how they turned out... Now I am inspired. Maybe I will stick my face on a whole collection of shirts and make the Husband wear them around town. "Who's this? Just my talented and neurotic wife!" Oh snap.

How to Dress Rich - Old Money

Image
Back in March, the Husband and I enjoyed an amazing night at the Bristol. It was a gift from my parents and probably the most amazing thing about that night was that we got a complimentary upgrade. We laughed, we danced and then I stopped and said in a serious tone to the Husband "It's cause we dressed rich an you know it." And then I danced some more and drank Moet Chandon straight from the bottle. I have class and you know it. Dressing rich is not that hard and doesn't have to cost that much. Now I am not talking about Kardashian rich (that money is the money of Satan), I am talking old school money, country clubs and drinking scotch. Here are some tips to how you can dress to look rich for different occasions (please note that this is in no way making fun of rich people, poor people or any people. This is based on observations on my part and the deep seated desperation of wanting to be a rich WASP from the East Coast. Pick me!). Dressing old school money pretty m...

A Key Word Post

Image
I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi...

Slowly an End of an Era

Image
Well hello there! Apologies for not writing for the last few weeks. It has been a wild few weeks with birthdays, conferences, work, events and so on and so forth. So really, business as usual. The big news is that in April I will be finally launching my new website which means that this blog will be slowly coming to an end. It's the next chapter and it's terrifying and exciting all at the same time. The website will be a great way for me to consolidate all of my projects and of course, to finally have something a little more professional (ha.ha). Operation Tubetop has been a lifeline these past... I think 6 years? If you have been a regular reader of this blog, you will have been through a wild ride with me. From raising an infant, to working full time again, from starting the Kid in kindergarten to being kicked out of kindergarten(s), from rebirthing to an autism diagnosis, from frustration to hope. It's been real. Really real. And I wouldn't trade my experiences for...
