A sad day in the crocheting world. He faught the good fight and will be missed.

I like my men how I like my yarn…

Thanksgiving is over. Christmas music has already been playing in stores for weeks. There are already people lined up and going egg-nog crazy on one another trying to score the best deals. Christmas mayhem.

I will be joining the shopping madness from the comfort of my sectional, in my grinch pants, no bra required. For those of you that are following suit I suggest checking out Etsy’s Gift Ideas that links up to your facebook and suggests items for your friends. For example if your friend is a Phillies fan [which they rightfully should be] then Etsy might suggest a Crocheted Phillies Phanatic Doll. Maybe they have a laptop or kindle they’d like to keep safe in a Customizable Monster Laptop Cover. You could possibly have someone in your life that is facial hair impaired or is a big Smokey and the Bandit fan that would appreciate a Handle Bar Mustache Coffee Cozy. This is proof that Etsy loves us and wants us to be happy.

From now until 11:59pm on Monday the 28th, my shop THEEJAMIELEIGH on Etsy will have free shipping on all cup cozys to the continental USA. They’re great stocking stuffers for even the pickiest person on your “Nice List”. Buy 3 or more and receive a free gift of my choosing. It might be something I made or possibly something personal I have sitting around my house. I haven’t decided yet so let’s see what happens. Tis the season.

Whatever your preferred method of shopping this season, don’t be a cotton headed ninny muggins. Have a safe and silly time!

White chocolate is difficult to work with…

While you’re out and about, dealing with Christmas music already playing and trying to pump your body up with some holiday flavored treat; just remember that burns hurt! Cover your store bought cardboard cup with this handy little santa cozy and not only will you keep your palms safe from utter disaster but you will be able to disguise yourself from those pesky people from high school you always bump into when you’re out shopping.

This has been a public service announcement from Thee Jamie Leigh.

My adorable fat little piggies. Freshly painted for Halloween.

What a cute little treasury. I want all the other holidays to hurry up and get here so I can cover my house in this stuff!

This was sweet but for future reference waitresses prefer money.

Honey badger don’t give a shit.

For $10 I need this in my life! What a great Habitat For Humanity find! Basically exactly the tv stand I was looking for (with that old stereo look) in the hideaway! I think I’m going to paint it but keep the grates the same so they really pop! When I told the lady I was going for a harem theme she game me a great little ancient looking genie lamp to complete the look! Can’t wait to post the complete project!

This is basically exactly what I have in mind for “window seats” for the dining room. [Click through to go to the craigslist listing] I would love to paint&reupholster them. It’s doable right? Like a fun adventure. If someone finds something like this in a cheaper and sassier fashion please let me know.
