DIY Library-Themed Invites

You have got to see these checkout-card invitations by librarians/betrothed Diana & Scott, via iDiY. GOD is that creative, hilarious and awesome. My inner library-nerd/bookworm self is much appeased.

True Up Thursday: Vintage Fabric, Paula Prass

Here’s what I’ve been up to on True Up this week: Gathering the best internet (and Real World) vintage fabric sources and putting them all in one place.
Part I tackles stand-alone sites and brick-and-mortar shops; next time I’ll get into eBay and Etsy ones. I even, in my research, found a listing for a pillowcase […]

Scratching my head over Google Voice

What up, nerdbirds. I got an invite for Google Voice yesterday and I’m trying to figure out the point of it.

From what I can tell, you get to choose a new number, then have your home and/or cell phone forwarded to that number. It takes voicemail and transcribes it for you and you can send […]

Nightly routine

It is impossible, and I think you’ll agree with me, to check on them and tuck them in at 11 p.m. and not tear up a little, thinking of the yawning gap between the mother you wanted to be and the mom they ended up getting. Their faces all odd and smooth in sleep, their […]

Seven years!

A sappy little note to mark our seventh wedding anniversary.

We’ve known each other for 11 years — that’s why we look like babies there. Ah, young love. Not as good as approaching-middle-age love.
We’re broke as a joke without a punchline, so our big anniversary date today is a lunchtime matinee (Harry Potter, what what) at […]

For two sweethearts

My sister had her first bridal shower last weekend. I put together a gift for her made of many different components, some handmade and some not. Thought I’d share the wrapping, the card, and the final product — I love how it came out.

The gift wrap I bought up in bulk at Target last December; […]

See what I’ve been up to at True Up

I’m contributing over at my favorite fabric blog, True Up, run by the always-amazing Kim Kight.
This week I introduced myself and also interviewed fellow Northwest Ohio expat (can you be an expat of a state? What would that be called?) Erin McMorris about her new fabric collection called Wildwood.
I love my job.

Just as I had a […]

Peep

Totally kawaii printable bookmarks from Jinjerup. You could, say, use it to help you mark your place(s) in Infinite Jest for the internet book club Infinite Summer.
For example.
(I’m on page 303. Doing good!)

• who’s there?

  Oh hey you guys, it's me, Supa. Things I enjoy: talking on my bananaphone, being a nerd, writing, sewing, writing about sewing, giving my husband high-fives, playing Nintendo with my kids, playing with technological gadgetry, knitting, and reading decorating books. Did I write down nachos? Add that in there. Follow me on Twitter! I'm occasionally funny there.
