Spice Girl and I Say "Crap" A Lot...

Food: Still enjoying that instapot/pressure cooker! Hubby is now infamous for his mashed potatoes, which went perfectly with this steak last night! I've been in a creative (creating "things") rut and I think my creativity is being expressed in the kitchen lately. I normally haven't been a very good dinner... Continue reading

I've discovered podcasts. I know, welcome to 2016. What started out as listening to some company training via podcast became an exploration of "who else is talking about stuff out there?" Earlier this year I binged on Serial, season one (never got into season two). I remembered that one of... Continue reading

My original intent in starting a blog was to have an outlet for my thoughts and creative business, Studio 4:13. In an effort for work/life balance (or rather, unbalance) I quickly figured out that when I was creating new signs, I got writer's block, and when I sat down to... Continue reading

My Stitch Fix Experience - Fix #5

Let's get right into it! When I opened this month's Fix, based on looks alone, I was super excited and hopeful. The stylist sent exactly what I was looking for (dresses/skirts and a plaid shirt), but what would happen once I tried them on... Item 1. 41Hawthorn Maddy Ponte Fit... Continue reading

My Stitch Fix Experience

I recently heard the hubbub about www.stitchfix.com, a site where you create a style profile and every month they'll send you a package of stylist-selected clothing and accessory items right to your door. I hate clothes shopping, trying on clothes, but also always stay with the same style of clothing,... Continue reading

That's what she said

Recently I received an email from a gal who I did a custom Christmas order for last year. This time there was a request to make a sign that would be used as a wedding photography prop, and a "Pinterest re-creation". Below are the final products. For this one, we... Continue reading

What the doctor ordered

Earlier this summer, I was referred to a chiropractor looking to create some custom signs for his parents cabin. You've seen those cute "how many miles to" signs pointing in different directions on a country road? This was our take on that. He gave me names and mileage but I... Continue reading

More custom designs!

I really enjoy doing "my hometown" custom 12" x 12" signs. I've created them for Hudson and Baldwin and now, Spooner! And this here was a custom order for a housewarming present: You can take the simplest of designs and make it look fabulous on a piece of old barn... Continue reading

A peek inside a custom order

Recently I received a few custom order requests, from both new and repeat customers. I have been blessed with great customers as well as referrals! I thought I'd show you what it looks like to complete a sign start-to-finish. For any job, especially the custom ones, there is some conversation... Continue reading

Last night Johanna (owner of Restore & Restyle) and I redid the booth space I rent in her shop. I'm loving the transition and it feels more "me" in style. I've been working on banners/pennants, candles and signs, as well as now selling jute webbing and jute twine! Be sure... Continue reading

Something difficult about your "lot" in life and how you're working to overcome it... I have a good life. A job, a roof over my head, plenty to eat, great kids and husband, so what is there to complain about, or what is "difficult" about this life? I struggle with... Continue reading

Most embarassing moment... That's a toughie, either I don't embarass easily or haven't done anything embarassing lately. I fell in our company's parking lot while walking in a couple weeks ago. Straight onto my butt, there was no stopping this fall. Thankfully ?? I was walking amidst rows of cars... Continue reading

The thing you're most afraid of... There's lots of things I'm afraid of, although the fear of them don't rule my life. Like heights, extreme heights. Like visiting the former-Sears Tower in Chicago, entire glass wall looking out to below? No thank you. Claustrophobia, being too closed in and not... Continue reading

How do you answer the question "what do you do?" if you couldn't answer with your job? Do crafty projects alone. Do crafty projects with my kids. Spend too much time online. Garage sale. Thrift shop. Read. Go to bible study. Enjoy small town life. Continue reading
