Here Comes Pippa Boo Boo

Last weekend, my royal biotch, Pippa, competed in her first dog show. It was very much like the episode of Sex & The City where Charlotte enters Elizabeth Taylor in Westminster...very much. People are hardcore. Even more so than with beauty pageants. Someone carried their Bearded Collie around their neck like a scarf so it wouldn't get dirty. My best friend, Courteny lives close by and was able to come! It was so nice to see her before she started her dream with Charlottesville Ballet. On the first day, Pippa won 1st place and winner of the winners in the puppy category. On the 2nd and 3rd days, she forgot her manners and jumped all over the judge. At least she is entertaining and more than just a pretty face. Like my favorite line from The OC goes, "People are always going to talk, might as well give them something good to talk about." And that she did.


We got to babysit this guy for a bit!

I wanted to steal this one!

Gettin' Crafty

I was browsing Refinery 29 and found this fun art project. I used to love to paint with watercolors and decided to give it a try. It's not perfect, but I  think it turned out really neat. 
Choose a design for the background. I decided to do a flag since 
our house is filled with all things British.


Next, you need to tape out the pattern for the top layer. I chose to use 
the chevron pattern as seen on the Refinery 29 site.
I selected silver since there is already white in the flag.
