That's a lot of places to be...I might need to consolidate things soon...
New things...and newer things...
So, I broke down and bought new materials for my jewelry. Rest assured, most of mwhat I'm working with is still salvaged, recycled, vintage, etc...but there were some big ol' rocks that I was just DYING to work with:

Holiday Sparkle - Statement Necklaces
I'm obsessed with creating big, beautiful messes to drape around your neck...
Statement necklaces have always been one of my favorite accessories - I feel very Frida Kahlo/super sophisticated artist when I wear them. Also, even if I've got less than a dollar in my pocket, a statement necklace makes me feel super glamorous. If you think you can't pull one off, think again. They look great on just about everyone and go with a t-shirt and jeans just as well as they go with a little black dress.
These are my picks for some holiday sparkle (and, yes - I picked one of my own!):

Lt. Gizmo Lee McGheewok, Defender of Fort Backyard
Just when I started really hanging out in this blog again...we had a major crisis at our house. One of our darling, gorgeous, PERFECT dogs was diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease (say that 5 times fast). We found this out because his back legs simply quit working normally one day. So, the last 2 weeks have been lots of visits to the vet, lots of cage confinement for Gizzy Lee, lots of hand wringing and crying and wondering what we should do. We finally took him to the University of Illinois, which is apparently where all of the animal neurosurgeons hang out. We decided to go ahead and have them perform surgery on his spine.
It's amazing. He walks funny, but he's absolutely walking again. So, this post is dedicated to all of the great things that I intend on buying him when he's finished with his rehab....and I get done paying off his vet bills :)
Super cute, eco-friendly pet bed (in pink and green, of course!):
and matching pink and green collar:
(both from Annie's Sweat Shop)
Newman's Own Organic Dog Treats (I love Newman's Own....I mean, the people food. Specifically, the Fig Newmans. I haven't tried the dog treats. I'm sure they're delicious.):
(Available at Petco)
Intervertebral Disc Disease is actually a really, super serious condition with dogs. We caught it with Gizmo pretty early, so his prognosis is fantastic. However, it can progress from mild pain to complete paralysis within days....sometimes even hours. Apparently it's very common with corgis, beagles, dachsunds and pekingese (Gizmo's a pekingese) so if you have one of those breeds, it's definitely worth reading up on. Also, if you happened to come upon this blog because your dog is in this same situation and you're wondering what to do, feel free to contact me and I'll happily share any information that I have with you.

P.S. Recovering nicely now:

Bad idea #103: Browsing food blogs when your cupboards are bare.
Is anyone else craving spinach and tortellini salad? Mmmmmmmmm, delicious goodness...and of course, I have nothing but 2 stale saltines and a can of fruit cocktail in the house.

I'd hang around, but apparently I need to go grocery shopping...

It's Kevin Bacon Wednesday!!!
You know you missed it...
Bacon scented soy candle (I'm not sure about this...would it smell delicious like a delicious greasy spoon....or would it smell like that greasy spoon that nobody ever goes to ~ the one where your Aunt Helen's best friend's husband ordered fries there one time and there was a dead rat in the basket? Either way, I know just who's getting one for Christmas this year):
(via Redneck Candles)
"Roses For Kevin Cycle Cap":
(via All One Word)
Bacon and Eggs crocheted jellyfish!
(I can't crochet and I can't knit but seeing Needle Noodles Shop makes me want to learn...really bad.)
Also....I have a real, honest to goodness website now! You can find it here. It's a bit more professional looking....I hope. I think. I'm crossing my fingers, anyway. (feel free to link to it to your heart's content.)
P.S. You look really nice today :)
