Fancy Nancy Birthday Ah that sounds so exciting! Actually, I mean I was planning a birthday party for my 5 year old daughter. Seven little fancy nancies running around (and some grown up ones, too), a princess pinata, a tea party, and a fashion show. Good times were had and then I almost collapsed from exhaustion [...]

not watching Spring through a window

I’m a busy bee but I’m trying to avoid becoming this poor moth, who can only enjoy this beautiful garden from the other side of the glass. I just celebrated the one year anniversary of my business (and by celebrate, I mean I just worked right through it…). I love that the nature of my [...]

sticking with Pinterest

Tanya — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 23:31:55 +0000

having one of those days

I was just googling around due to some technical difficulties and this is what I ended up with. A perfect example of my week: so frustrating it is funny! Technical Difficulties I’ve never seen this site before - I hope it is someone with a dark sense of humor because that would make my day. Otherwise, it’s [...]

writing for several blogs (but not this one)

I Should Be Napping Dear I Should Be Napping, I can’t let you go - you are my oldest blog and you need an overhaul. You’re certainly not part of my portfolio, yet I find you charming in your tacky theme-hacky chic. In the meantime, I thought I’d scare some of the tumbleweeds away by adding a [...]

on posterous and in the studio

I Should Be Napping Is Taking a Catnap I am busy with my new business and my band at the moment so you may not see posts here for a bit. This is my oldest, longest running blog and so is special to me, so I have slated it for an overhaul in September or October. [...]
