I own a fair amount of makeup. It’s mostly eyeliners and shadows but in the past year I’ve been building up a collection of lip colors as well. As I had mentioned in a previous post about sending some lipstick to fellow panelist and friend, Morgan, I have a thing for really pigmented cosmetics. Orangey-red? [...]
By SJane4Prez, on March 26th, 2013 One of my goals for 2013, before I even joined Counting By 12s, was to crochet some kind of garment for myself. I’ve made myself a couple cowls and scarf-type things, a pair of slippers and some necklaces. I wanted to challenge myself and make something like a sweater or top.

By SJane4Prez, on March 25th, 2013 A month or so ago I had been talking to a customer at work who mentioned something about a local store chain, Marden’s, having lots of fabric. Marden’s is one of those stores that gets stuff other stores don’t want anymore or have too much of, discontinued items, salvaged items, etc. There’s a lot of [...]
By SJane4Prez, on March 12th, 2013 I’ve always had a hard time staying focused on making products for my Etsy shop. I more or less want to make all of the things all of the time which can make a shop feel kind of all over the place. I think the one thing that has anchored mine thus far has been [...]
By SJane4Prez, on March 5th, 2013 This past Christmas I made some scrubs and a bath tea for my sister-in-law. She has just had a baby and I thought it might be nice to make her some things for relaxation. I had a great time making them and have had some different scent combinations floating around in my head since.

By SJane4Prez, on March 4th, 2013 One of the managers at my work and I have bonded over a love of cosmetics and glitter – two things that, I think I can safely say, we wholeheartedly agree belong together. It seems that we have at least one brief conversation about either of those things every time we work together. And if [...]
By SJane4Prez, on February 24th, 2013 I’m honestly surprised it took us this long to get to “new place” this month. I (we) had hoped to get out to visit a new park or trail this month but between snow storms and just general schedule weirdness, it wasn’t going to happen. So yesterday before I ran out the door to go [...]
By SJane4Prez, on February 24th, 2013 One of the things on my list is about having friends and family over to our place. That seemed and ultimately was impossible this month. But the failure got me thinking about what I really wanted out of that list item. I just want to spend more time with friends and family. I feel like [...]

Number 12 on my list is to Wear Something Outside My Comfort Zone. This one kind of got shoved to last minute because I kept feeling like I needed to go out somewhere in whatever I was wearing. Somewhere other than the grocery store or out to do errands or to grab a quick bite [...]
By SJane4Prez, on February 22nd, 2013 I probably don’t really need to do this, but I keep feeling like I need to somehow explain this item on my list – Play A Game I Wouldn’t Play. By game, here, I mean video game. I genuinely love them but not in a nostalgic way. I didn’t really grow up playing them. Hearing the [...]
