Last year I got some of my friends candles from Bubble & Geek and they smelt so good that I debated keeping them for myself! Hopefully this will help give you some holiday ideas!

A Very Geeky Christmas.....
Hello out there! Its less than three weeks till Christmas. This is a fact that is freaking me out! If you are feeling a little unprepared for the holidays this year I have put together an Etsy treasury full of some of the geeky-ist items for all of the nerds on your list!

Spring, sprang, sprung!
So I have been enjoying the first days of Spring! One the first day I kept singing this song from Willy Wonka as I went for a wonderful walk around the block. Gyspy was very excited to go exploring in the Spring time air. Then we had snow for the next few days which was certainly NOT COOL!
Aside from nice weather time, a few different things have been going on. I have been working on updating our living room pillows. The pillows were kind of blank so I decided to spiffy them up a bit. I used the freezer paper stencil technique and made some arrows and chevron patterns. What do you think?
After making some pillows, I started working on a new bag. I used some techniques learned from Craftsy and came up with this fancy bag. I like how it came out, however I have to make the from pockets taller. It also features an interior pocket and a TARDIS. This is part of a new line I am working. Its for the fashionable professional geek. Fun fact, I used one of Tim's dress shirts to making the lining.
I learned this past week that I was featured on the Crafts for Kids blog, woo hoo ! Thanks to them for featuring my Sharpie Mug tutorial. Speaking of being featured, I was also excited to see that one of my bowties made it on a treasury list called Primarily Yours. My crafts are getting around!
I also did something kind of crazy, I signed up for a 5k.....thats a muddy obstacle course.... and I'll be trying to escape zombie hoards. Yeah you heard that right, ZOMBIES! Its Matt's birthday and this is how we are celebrating. Our team is called Z.E.U.S. (Zombie eradicating utility squad) and hopefully we can escape the grips of walkers! Yeah I don't know what I was thinking but its too late now but hopefully this forces me into some healthier habbits.

Zombies, Cakes & latest projects!
Hello blogosphere,
Here is what I am into lately:
I may love libraries but other people think of them as super duper boring or obsolete :( but the people at McPherson College don't think so ! Library of the Living Dead is a genius and funny guide to the library. Go check it out for yourself at the Miller Library
From Zombies to cakes. Mmmmm cake. This past week my friendo Caitie graduated yay! Her sister Kim has quite the reputation as a baker and lately she has been making some pretty kick ass cakes. Early this year she made an amazing Wolverine cake for my friend Matt. So when it came to Caities cake she went all out harness the power of Harry Potter.
As for me this past few weeks have been rough craft wise. I have picked up a few extra hours here and there and being stuck in a heat wave is a real drain on my creativity and motivation. But I have tried to chug on. I made a wallet from this tutorial. I am also experimenting with pouches and small cases. I just finished two tote bags. The panda bear is a request from my co-worker Margaret and the other is a little flower for Trisha and my future niece! The idea behind these bags is to use when you bring kids to the library!
Enjoy!
