My iPod Chronicles & Frustrations

Posted on

So I confess, I’m still head over heels for my 160 GB iPod classic. As technology is moving forward with gadgets that are made for unlimited streaming and storage, I just can’t seem move forward and keep up. I honestly don’t care to. I don’t want my music in the same space as my phone. They have two different purposes for me and I have no interest in combining them. Anyone else feel the same way?

David Bowie Tribute

Posted on

David Bowie

It’s been a week since David Bowie passed, and guess what – it won’t stop sucking. It’s unfortunate and disappointing to lose a legend like him, but the legacy he left behind is great and wonderful, and he’s touched and influenced so many people. It’s pretty amazing that one can leave behind what he left behind, and that makes for such an extraordinary life. David Bowie will forever be remembered that way.

I compiled a tiny list of pretty wonderful David Bowie cover songs. My top five. I’m sure there are so many more great ones out there, so feel free to share!

Shop Update

Posted on

(A few of my favorite bags, which you can find in my shop!)

I find myself living a double life these days. By day, I’m a full time designer at a shoe company. By night, I’m a weaving rookie trying to find time to fit in crafty projects while relaxing and not feeling guilty about taking it easy every so often.
I’ve been trying to treat this year differently than last year. I have clearer set goals, more motivation than I’ve felt in a while, and I’ve been non stop during any spare time I’ve got. Fun fact: I fell asleep just before 10pm last night because I just couldn’t keep my eyes open.

Confessions Of A Former Metal Head

Posted on

(Kylesa – a band I love so dearly played the night we were in Nashville during our road trip, but I was embarrassed to tell my friends how badly I wanted to go to the show.)

Whenever I get into music discussions with friends or people I meet for the first time, I’m always embarrassed to bring up the genre that really got me to where I am today. I always question why I’m ashamed because I shouldn’t be. For years I never spoke of it, but lately I find myself talking about it more because I just don’t care anymore. I used to be a hardcore metal head when I was younger, and I’m proud of it!

L7 Fast & Frightening Quote

As I’ve shared my love for empowering 90’s grungey bands, L7 (who recently reunited, woo!) was one band that was on rotation in my CD player for a long time. They’re straight up badass women who prove stereotypes are wrong when it comes to the idea of women being “fragile” and “weak”, especially in the rock world known as the “boy’s club”. They’ve made so many shocking headlines (I was going to insert a link, but they’ve had so many shocking moments that there are too many moments to single out just one moment from one link…what?). They basically had a lot of “unlady-like” 🙌 moments. Okay, I’ll stop with the “air quotes”.

This To That // Gwen Stefani Pants

Posted on

Gwen Stefani Settle Down Pants

Let me take a quick second to tell you about one person that inspires me to no end. But you can probably already guess since her name is in the title. Yea, Gwen. I’ve already written about how much I love No Doubt, but I probably will mention it a lot more in the future. Fair warning here.

Anyway, as a lot of Gwen fans can probably share, she’s the reason why I started taking sewing seriously. I went from sewing clothes for my Barbies, to wristbands (I sewed a lot imitating Gwen’s arm accessories during the Rock Steady era), to sewing shirts for myself, and I can’t stop. I have been for years inspired by her cool style and she inspires me to try to be cool with my style. I don’t know if it’s working, but I do what I can.

Karaoke Songs That Can Never Go Wrong

Karaoke List

So I feel confident saying that I’ve done enough karaoke to be comfortable sharing my “go to” list that I don’t think can really go wrong, just as the title states.
Depending on the crowd and your mood, sometimes these songs don’t quite make the dent you think they would. From my experience, 70% of the time these songs are crowd pleasers and can induce a massive sing alongs. I always love it when that happens.

Courtney Love Doll Parts Quote

Working on my typography game, I chose a quote this time around by the Hole song Doll Parts.
These are lyrics that I’m sure a lot of girls can relate to. Not only do I feel for it, but it’s also quite the visual quote which made it fun to work with.

Surfing The Music Wave ~~~

Surf Rock

Making mini music lists is becoming a thing I’ve been enjoying. Picking a topic and rolling with it via Youtube, BAM. Mini music list.

Any of y’all fans of surf rock? It originated in the 60’s influenced by the surf culture under the California sun. It’s a sound that I thoroughly enjoy – that electric guitar and reverb gets me. I adore it.
