Cheeky mention – Confetti magazine

This is a very special and kind of silly mention for me/us. The lovely editor of Confetti magazine asked me a little while ago if we had an interesting engagement story, and would we like to share it and potentially have it feature in the magazine. I was super excited, but I immediately said “well, there are some bad words in our story” to which said editor replied “don’t worry – that’s what asterisks are for”. So, asterisks I wrote. 

A closer look …

And that’s how it happened. We took that picture mere moments after Robert proposed. You can’t really tell, but the sun was setting. Very romantic. With my fat head and severe potty-mouth taking up most of the picture.
I take pride in knowing I may have been the first asterisk culprit / contributor to such a glamorous and delicate magazine. That’s how I roll.

Lovely mention – House and Home, part deux

Over the Christmas holidays I saw my most recent mention, in my inbox. It was a cute surprise for me as it was an oldie tutorial, but a goodie. I had done a re-write of my Meddling with Melodi tutorial for the House and Home website, but I wasn’t sure when it would be published. 
There’s a weird feeling that comes with realizing your tutorial has been e-mailed en masse around the country … A good feeling – in case there was some hesitation there! You can check out my tutorial on House and Home  here. Happy Thursday! 🙂

Lovely mention – Irish House and Home

I’m still completely bowled over to have been asked to do a write up for House and Home. And for it to appear on their site. Which is somewhere I creep regularly.


This is my first mention here in Ireland, and I’m excited to see where this can will take me. The publicity my blog has received to date hasn’t felt 100% real, since it was mentioned in far-away lands (not that I’m not obscenely appreciative), but now there’s a chance that someone I know or am related to might actually see my tutorial on an Irish site – kind of extremely surreal.

My tutorial can now be found on the Irish House and Home online How-To section. Here is a direct link to the tutorial on their site. A big thanks to Jimmy who was a pleasure to work along side, and who was painfully patient in my scrambling attempts to put together better images for the site. This pretty much made my November.
