About Me

This blog is a mixture of things I like around the internet, usually crafty things (that I am probably too broke to make myself). Expect a mixture of cooking, cleaning, sewing and general craftiness here.

I am married, but I do not have kids. Part of why I save the things I do, here, is that I am kind of sick of seeing blogs that are just for moms. I like crafts, and organization and making things, yet I have never birthed a child. I don't like that so many of the craft sites I find when I'm in a productive mood center almost solely on how to do things for children. So, I've started saving everything I can that isn't for kids, and compiling it here.

I’m hoping to get my own house by the end of 2012 (apartments suck!) and this tutorial makes me super excited. One of my goals is to have a house with a chalkboard wall in the kitchen for planning meals or making grocery lists. If this how-to works, I’ll jump for joy! Make your own chalkboard paint tutorial What you need: ◦ 1 C of LATEX paint ◦ 2 TBSP Un-sanded Tile Grout (got mine @ Lowe’s) Lets get started: 1. Mix paint and grout well, making sure to get all clumps out. 2. Paint and let dry completely. 3. Rub with 150 grit sanding block (or paper) and wipe off dust. 4. Condition by rubbing chalk all over and then erasing. (via adelynSTONE)
