How DOES She Do It?
Yarn Harlot
The Yarn Harlot at Congress Ave. Baptist Church today in Austin, Texas.
UFO August!
With my lack of knitting in July, I knew I had to sign up for Jeanie’s latest project, UFO August. Do you have UFOs? Join us and get them done!
Here is my initial UFO list, but I might find some lurking in the corners over the next few days, so I’m waiting to [...]
The Final Product…
I have meant to post these for over a week now, but I had Mike take them off the memory card for me and I didn’t know where they were on the desktop computer. (Turns out that they were right where they should have been. Oops.) I put all of my renovation [...]
We Need the Orkin Man, Stat.
Oh. My. Goodness.
I’m wide awake at the wrong hour of night, again. For weeks, this has been going on. It has allowed me to read a lot, so that is a good thing. But I would prefer to sleep at night. Anyways, I didn’t want to read any more [...]
The After Party…
At this moment, the plans are set for the “Harlot After Party” at Guero’s Taco Bar at 1412 S. Congress Ave., just a block away from the Congress Avenue Baptist Church where she will be speaking from 10am – 1pm. (Ah, the irony … the Harlot is going to be talking at a church!) [...]
The Harlot is Coming! The Harlot is Coming!
I know, I haven’t talked about knitting much lately. Know why? I haven’t been knitting. I knit a few rows last week at the ATC meeting, and a few rows when I was in Austin back before the 4th of July. That is it. How sad is that? This [...]
For the Geek Artist in Me…
A few months ago, Elaine sent me an e-mail about making Artist Trading Cards. We have all the paper, all the supplies, and all the creativity that we needed to make it happen. Unfortunately, we never seemed to have the time or the energy. This summer, things are changing around here, and [...]
What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage…
I have a secret. Redoing the bedroom was to bring me peace and harmony, but there was also a hidden plan. I needed to train my husband. Well, rather than training him, I needed to give him alternatives to bad habits that we had developed. See, we had a couch and [...]
Props for Newman’s Own…
When I was visiting Tara in Austin, we went on a grocery run and I bought salad goodies. One of the items that I picked up was Newman’s Own Parmesan and Roasted Garlic Dressing. It blew me away. It was fantastic. It was wonderful. It was quite possibly the best [...]

The Pictures Don’t Do it Justice…
Friday was spent in a whirlwind of getting things done around the house, then I left right as my Mom arrived to shampoo the bedroom carpet for me. I headed back to Ikea to get the bookcases, where I learned you should never go to Ikea alone. You have to abandon your bookcases [...]

Where is the Cleanup & Fluffing Crew?
When you watch Monster House, they do all the tear down and renovations and stuff over a week. Then at the end the crew shows up with the pillows and rugs and fluffy goodness and stuff and everything gets magically cleaned up and beautiful.
I just want to know where my Cleanup & Fluffing Crew [...]
My Top 10 Painting Tips…
Starting this painting project has taken research for the past few months. I actually thought I would be painting the living room first, and since it is such a prominent room in our house I wanted to be sure to do it right. I’m glad I did the bedroom first so that I [...]

Hi! I'm Christine. I've been blogging here since 2000. I am married to Mike. I have a son, Jason. We have a cat, Mona. We live in Houston, Texas.
I love helping other photographers and other small business owners improve their businesses. Most of my posts here are related to that, although sometimes I write about personal things as well.
I am currently available for business & blogging consulting and assisting you with WordPress. Contact me for more details.
I am a wedding and boudoir photographer and I'm available both in Houston and for travel worldwide. I would love to be a part of your wedding!
You can buy prints of my photography.
In addition to photography and geek things, I sometimes knit. I even used to have a knitting podcast, PointySticks.
