I just got back from BlogHer15, more to come on that later, but as I get ready to head back into the office and things start to calm back to the everyday pace of life, I wanted to share the video I captured of Darren Criss addressing the crowd after his final performance of Hedwig and the Angry Itch.
I grew up in a very theatrical household, learning the lyrics to Annie and Oklahoma as early as I could talk and walk. As I entered middle and high school I started getting involved in theatre, performing on stage and eventually spending some time as a voice major at the Denver School of Arts. Theatre helped me become the person I am today, teaching me how to think quickly on my feet, project to the back of the room and change clothing faster than a 3 minute dance break. Continue Reading…
Transplanting iris is an easy project that can help your garden grow twice as fast as if you bought bulbs in the fall and waited for them to mature throughout the winter. A few weeks ago a came across an offer on Next Door for some free iris bulbs from one of my neighbors. If you haven’t heard of Next Door, definitely give it a try, it’s pretty much Facebook for your neighborhood (or Facebook before they spiraled out of control).
Our little yard looks pretty sad so after a rainstorm I trekked the half mile over to remove bulbs from a strangers yard. Once I got over the fact that it looked like I had literally walked up with a shovel and started digging in someones yard (the owner wasn’t there) the removal process was pretty simple.
Because Drew is really incredible, for my birthday this year he gave me a Silhouette Cameo, something I’d been wanting to add to my DIY go to kit for the last several years. Silhouettes allow you to create custom die-cuts on paper, fabric, vinyl and other materials.
I’ve been a huge fan of the personalization options a Silhouette offered, but until receiving this gift I didn’t fully understand what all the machine could do. My first reaction upon opening it was to look into what tools I needed to get started, but I didn’t find anything that really explained what I needed it to.
