2010 has been bittersweet Written on December 3, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
When I was a kid and still going to church to please my grandfather, our youth group had tons of out-of-church activities to participate in. One of my personal favorites was the day that we took a field trip to a radio station and then to the embalming room of a funeral home. My second [...]
Oh hey, I’m married now! Written on November 7, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
A year and a half of my life filled with ridiculous planning finally came to a close on labor day. It’s nice to have my life back and be able to pursue other things. However, wedding-related photography keeps trickling in and bringing me right back into the thick of things, emotionally. It’s pretty inconvenient when [...]
Font finder Written on August 30, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
So I’m generally not one for infographics (I find the trend extremely overplayed at this point). However, I printed this one out because I found the way to get to comic sans hilarious. I hung it in my office at work, and it’s garnered a lot of attention. We had a group of students come [...]
Breakfast cupcakes Written on August 16, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
Candied Bacon. Okay, now that I have your attention… I had an idea to make french toast cupcakes with bacon on them. A quick google search showed me that it had been done before, but that just makes me easier for me! I modified a recipe slightly, as it didn’t call for candied bacon. I’d [...]
Summertime is popsicle time Written on August 15, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
When I first heard about King of Pops, I was inspired. Here is a man who was down on his luck and turned it into an opportunity to spread local, handmade frozen confectionery infused joy to the people of Atlanta. And what joy it is! My personal favorite is his Blueberry Lemongrass (also called Bluegrass), [...]
The other reason I haven’t been updating much Written on August 12, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
As some as you might know, for the past year or so i’ve been up to my tits in wedding work. As in, i’m getting married and my designerly pride will not allow me to hire vendors. For anything. I have written copy for, designed, printed and assembled all of the printed collateral (save the [...]
Why I haven’t been updating much Written on July 22, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
On May 12th, my grandfather lost a 10 year battle with severe emphysema. His death has taken the wind out of my sails in a lot of respects. Eventhough it was inevitable, I still feel as though he was ripped from my grasp. I can only imagine how my mother feels. I’m 3 hours away, [...]
Where I grew up Written on May 22, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
My family moved to the country when I was 13. Not that we really lived in the city before that, we lived just barely inside the city limits of a small town in a quaint little subdivision that was stuck in the mid-60s. The neighborhood started going downhill when all of the original owners of [...]
Roosevelt’s new dignified home Written on May 2, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
I’ve mostly finished Roosevelt’s Mario themed turtle playground. I’d like to put some plants in there, but he eats them pretty much immediately. He’s a pretty voracious turtle. This is his basking platform, which he rarely ever uses if we’re home. He tends to only bask if we’re not here. The platforms are made from [...]
touristy things Written on April 20, 2010, by fuzzdecay.
In early March, 2/3s of my lovely future in-laws came down for a visit for a week. It was nice getting to show them around Atlanta and do tons of touristy stuff. And eat out for a solid week. My waistline wasn’t too happy about that. Both the fiance and I had to work (me [...]
