Holy crap!

Has it really been 4 months since I last posted?  Wow... it really does not feel like it has been that long!  I wish I had something exciting to say I was doing but I really can't.  The holidays came and went without too much fanfare although I did throw my first party at my house since moving to GA in 2004.  It was a big deal for me since I am weird about having people in my house but it went well and now I host a near monthly D&D-type game.  Yes, I am a nerd and geek. :) 

New Year's Party

I even threw myself a birthday party in February!  Sadly, I did not take pictures of either party because I have a really hard time remembering to do that.  I did manage to get a picture of my macabre cake I made for my birthday party, though. :)


The cake and frosting were flesh tone and had cherry "bloodclots" in the center :)


Hubby and I managed to go on at least one road trip.  As I've posted before, we often choose an interesting sounding name on the map then find a backroad way of getting there.  This time it was Eclectic, AL.  :)  On the way there, though, we stopped at a park just outside Tallapoosa, AL and I got into a little trouble!

When good road trips go bad - next on FOX!

I ended up being on Grand Jury for 8 weeks after the beginning of the year and used my $25 a day to add to an existing tattoo I have. :) 
 

Action shot of Flaco Martinez of All or Nothing Tattoo in Smyrna, GA working on me - he is super cute so I was happy to have my hand resting on his thigh ;)
  
The patchwork heart and skull were existing.  Flaco added the art supplies around it for me.  I am really happy with it!  He's going to touch up the heart and skull for me after the rest of it heals.


So, yeah... that's my recap of the last 4 months.  I told ya not much was really going on.

I've been in a bit of a creative slump but I can feel that starting to starting to lift.  My 1-year pledge of no new clothes ended march 1st so I got some pants and a few tops which I am going to refashion.  I also have some fabric that is screaming out at me as well as some cute little 4x4 canvases that need to be painted. :)  Hopefully, soon, I will have those to post for you!

  1. Gorgeous tattoo! I was a bit worried that I hadn't seen you around for so long. It's good to have you back!

Got something to say? Then I wanna hear it! But if it's mean or an ad that doesn't fit with my blog theme, it may not stay for long. Just sayin'. :) And sorry about the word verification. I'm just tired of spambots invading my happy place. :P

New Apron

Still alive and still cooking A LOT!  The food blog has really taken off which isn't leaving much room for much else.  I really need to get crafty some time soon. But, I did recently find some time to design myself a brand new apron! Here's a more detailed image of my design: At least I am finding ways to combine my 2 passions! :)

Digital Age and Sausage

Wow... 2014 already!  The last of 2013 went by pretty quickly, but I don't know that I have a super lot to show for it. Well, that's not entirely true.  I've been pretty busy with the new site .  I've been having so much fun cooking and I think my photography skills are definitely improving when it comes to that part of the blogging.  I have been doing some creative things as well, though, especially over the last couple of weeks.  I received some money for the holidays and decided to invest in myself by getting a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (the original, not the new model) for the sole purpose of drawing.  I know, I know, it's completely wasting the bells and whistles of the technology, but I did some research and decided it was the best yet economical choice for what I want to do.  And, so far, I am not disappointed. I upgraded my S Pen and it really feels like I am drawing "the old fashioned way."  Even when I sketch out my design first, it looks and

New website!

You may remember that last month, I was trying to decide what I wanted to do blog-wise .  I finally decided that since my passion right now is food, cooking, and nutrition... I should concentrate on that.  And I think that is definitely the right decision for me. But... I don't think that is the right thing for Funky, Punky, & Plump.  So I am going to save this little corner of the blogworld as my place to post about pretty much everything other than food.  When my art, craft, or sewing bug hits, this is where I'll talk about it. Get Off The Couch and Cook is where I will be focusing on easy recipes that use real food, nothing processed.  I've already got it set up if you want to go check it out.  I've been kind of obsessed with it so even though there are only a handful of posts currently, there are quite a few more already scheduled. :) I feel good knowing what direction I am supposed to be going in.  I'm even sleeping better at night now even thou
