Clay Tags for Caroline

I am still caught up in the fact that my girlfriend, Stacy, has not been allowed contact with her 16 month old daughter, Caroline, in nearly 3 months. Tragic situation, and me sitting around worrying or wishing does not help matters. So what's a girl like me to do?? CRAFT! I love to craft!

So, I created these inspirational clay tags in an effort to raise a couple bucks to help Bring Caroline Home. Precious huh! Don't you love the jingle bell?

For 10 Bucks (and FREE SHIPPING people, whoop whoop) you get a clay tag, handmade by Mrs. Lovely herself. 100% of the sales will be donated to safely Bringing Caroline Home to the United States. 

Find the tags here and in my sidebar. Every Hamilton helps! 

(Did you know the dude on the 10 Dollar Bill wasn't a President!?)

When in doubt...craft!

Cutified Craigslist Cabinet

I am pretty sure "cutified" is a word. So go ahead and use it if you want.


Back in February I enthusiastically wrote about some cabinets I found on craigslist. Go ahead and take a minute to catch up. 


They have been sitting in our garage for almost 4 months.

and we finally put one (of three) to good use. We scored the old chippy wood from our neighbors basement renovation project. Take it where you can get it!

I gave the top a good sanding and we hauled it inside.

I bought the metal file (mail) sorter for 1.00. The answer to our stacks of junk mail, bills and catalogs waiting to be read- 1 buck well spent!

You can bet there is a lot of crap hiding in this cabinet- already.

More pics to come on the progress of this room, but who's loving our new junk collector?

Summer Lovin'

The sunshine gives our Sunshine a lot more options...

Oscar's friend, Ava, gave us this little cart. When we got it, I thought, it will be forevs until we need this. Geez...

The place I work was going to throw this swimming pool in the dumpster. Uh, "I'll take that!" 

Finally, let me introduce you to Kaitlin Lovely, Oscar's Best Friend. We were hoping that letting her use our last name would be payment enough...no luck.

Cheers to another sunny weekend!
