In the last two or three weeks, I've been playing around with hand lettering. I mean, it's all the rage, right? It's everywhere you look and it's only gaining popularity along with typography. Most artsy-craftsy fads come and go and by the time they've run their course, we're sick and tired of it (puff-painted sweatshirts, anyone?). Good riddance, right?! However, I feel like hand lettering is an art that deserves all the time it can get. It's one that has been around for ages. We've all … [Read more...]
Queen Bean Sphynx Sweater
We have gained a new family member. She's a beautiful Sphynx that we were fortunate enough to adopt from a pet rescue in the Fort Worth area.

Adventures in Milk Paint….Part 1
Let me tell you the little story of my adventure, success and failure in my first experience with milk paint. So, I'd been itching to make over an old dresser I've had for about 10 years and I really, really wanted to get that gorgeous antiqued look that milk paint gives to furniture. Who can resist that charming, comfortable look, right? Plus, milk paint is non-toxic and super green. Bonus! I researched and shopped around online for a bit before deciding which approach I wanted to ta … [Read more...]
