We had our feathers ruffled here in Oklahoma late last night by a magnitude 5.6 earthquake. I first thought that the vibrations and low rumble were from a passing train, but as the shaking increased and my dishes and windows began to rattle, I knew it was the earth moving. My big girl was sleeping, but my wee one was practicing her new found sitting skills on the floor and looked up at me as if

Since I was taking a bit of a baby-cooking and nesting blog hiatus last year at this time, I never shared Sugar Pea's Halloween costume. Ladies and Gentlemen, prepare to be shocked and amazed by The Tattooed Lady!Inspired by the candy and sweets themed temporary tattoos we found, I fashioned a cupcake headpiece from styrofoam, batting, felt, and fleece.

Here's another Halloween craft project I whipped up this week. I had purchased these vintagey styrofoam eyeballs two years ago, and never used them in a project. Inspiration struck a few days ago, and I decided to make an entire wreath covered in them. Wah wah--there are no more to be had, apparently. So, I settled for orange and green ornaments I found in Hobby Lobby's Christmas aisle and added

Halloween is nearly upon us, but there's still time for some spooky craft projects, and I've got one to share with you today. It doesn't get much spookier than these "Spirit Lanterns", and they couldn't be easier to make.I have imagined glowing candlelight flickering behind creepy old-timey spirit photography for a long time, but my printer refusing to print on vellum made my first try at these

Besides being a sweet, smart, and charming librarian and all around awesome lady friend of mine, Dana is also one of the interwebs' craftiest people.

Hello, friends! I've had my crafty nose to the grindstone getting ready for Indie Emporium. If you're near Tulsa, I hope you'll stop by and say hello. I've got a couple new things up my sleeve for the show, including the newest Sweetheartville Saint, Saint Irene, Patron Saint of Crafting. The DIY canon is full of needleworkers, but I felt that a general, all purpose crafty lady was in order, so

I think my friend Samantha Lamb is pretty well known in the state of Oklahoma these days, and rightly so. Her fine art photographs are breathtaking. They seriously make my liver quiver. Just in case you haven't been introduced to this lovely lady and her art, I thought I'd share a little glimpse of her newest work which celebrates Indian Summer in all its warm, glowy beauty.I had the supreme

Nothing says "kitschy craft of yesteryear" like seashells glued to one another. I have a real soft spot in my heart for this kind of stuff. Maybe it comes from being born a landlocked Okie, but more than that, I think I'm just struck with the ingenuity and creativity of the human mind. Since the beginning of time, people have looked at shells on the beach and admired their beauty. Maybe they even

Hello, sweethearts! I've been working very hard to prepare for Indie Emporium, which will be here in less than two weeks. Besides readying my wares for the show, I've also finished a new collage. I've had this idea in my mind and my sketchbook for months now, and I guess our recent trip to the Will Rogers Museum gave me the kick in the pants I needed to make it reality. I'm really pleased with

We recently visited the Will Rogers Museum in Claremore, Oklahoma. The witty rope slinger who never met a man he didn't like was born less than 20 miles from my home, and although I count him among my heroes, I'd never been to the museum in Claremore. I pretty much want to just move in there and live in this room, a recreation of his study in his California home. After we'd had our fill of Will

Today would have been William Smith Monroe, The Father of Bluegrass' 100th birthday. I can still remember the day he died. I was sixteen, head over heels in love with all things bluegrass, and I knew that my dream to meet him one day would never come to pass. I can think of no other genre of music that so directly owes its genesis to a single person. He once described the uniquely American style

My grandmother has always been a writer and a photographer, having had several stories, poems and articles published in magazines and newspapers over the years. Like me, Grandma's not a particularly bold person, but she told me that she learned early on that if you just walk into certain places with confidence and a camera strung around your neck, folks generally don't question your presence.

Last weekend I got to go to one of my favorite thrift stores for the first time in probably about a year. I went on a mission to find something, anything to wear for that super fun window between maternity clothes and pre baby stuff in which I still find myself. Wouldn't you know, I didn't find one single article of clothing, but I did come away with a few good books, a sweet vintage baby dress

I've considered various canning and pickling methods and looked into root cellaring, but I've come to the bittersweet realization that I'm unable to stop time and keep her just this way forever. I'm sure my mama felt just the same way when I wore this little rosebud dress and bonnet over thirty one years ago.

‘Before forensics, DNA, and CSI we had dollhouses – an unimaginable collection of miniature crime scenes, known as the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. Created in the 1930s and 1940s by a crime-fighting millionaire heiress grandmother Frances Glessner, the Nutshells helped homicide detectives hone their investigative skills. These surreal dollhouses reveal a dystopic and disturbing slice

After thirteen years, you would think that Mr. Hall and I would have boxes and boxes of photos of the two of us together. Sadly, that isn't the case, and photos of the two of us since we became Mama and Daddy are even more rare. So, last weekend we decided that it was high time we had a little old-timey Welcome Little Stranger photo shoot. We enlisted the help of my Mama for a few shots of the

Seriously, where are these days going? I looked up from my busyness, and realized it's been over two weeks since my last post. We're still hiding from the record-shattering heat. Turns out that July was not only the hottest July ever on record for Oklahoma, but the hottest one ever recorded for any state. Ever. In history. Since time began. Did I convey to you that it's been sweltering here?

Well, it's still a million degrees here in Oklahoma with no end in sight. What's a girl to do? Apparently, experiment with hand drawn type and Photoshop in the air conditioning. Looking at some antique phrenology head diagrams, I got the idea to put my own spin on the subject. Bouffants and nonsensical ramblings anyone?

I've been wanting to incorporate some hand drawn type into a piece for a while, so last weekend I spent some time with my sketch book and scanner and this was the result: "Use it up, wear it out. Make it do, or do without." I've always loved the slogan, and it's just as relevant (if not more so) now than it was 70 years ago. But lately it's taken on a deeper meaning for me. It serves as a

I want to make an indelible mark, even if it's just on the lives of my daughters (two of them!). I want to make art of all kinds, and I want security and abundance for my family. I want those two things to not be mutually exclusive. I've

Hello, folks! Just thought I'd alert you to a little series of guest posts I did for my good friends at the Deluxe Indie Craft Bazaar blog on the topic of Building Your Brand. Look for an installment every day this week, and hopefully take away a tip or two for your handmade or small business!

We've had this turtle step stool since my little one was a baby. My mom found it at a garage sale, and according to what's written on the bottom, it was made by a local man in 1974. I have always intended to recover it, but it was one of those projects I kept putting off. Well, 37 years and several hundred tooth brushing and hand washing sessions later, it was getting kind of gross. I started

Hard to believe I've been randomly posting on and repeatedly neglecting this here weblog for four years today. We've laughed, we've cried, we've given embarrassing glimpses into the state of our mental health. Yes, it's been a mildly amusing ride, and I've met some really fabulous people because of this thing, some of whom will be lifelong friends. So to say thank you to you, dear readers, I'm

Get your dirty minds out of the gutter! This post is about mine and The Mister's shared office/studio/crap containment area. Adding a new member of the family means that some room swapping is in order, so I've pared down my vintage lovelies and craft supplies and somehow managed to squeeze what's left into a rather tiny bedroom. This is where the designing, creating, and packing + shipping

Hello there! Sorry to be such a stranger around these parts. Between getting ready for baby, record breaking blizzards and cold temperatures (-31 degrees!), sick relatives, and just general exhaustion and pregnancy woes, the ol' blog got put on the back burner. One thing I've been up to is opening up a second Etsy shop to sell some vintage wares as well as some handmade goods that don't quite fit

My sweet in laws gifted us with a bit of cash earmarked for some new furniture, specifically a rocking chair, and this is the one that I settled on. According to the seller, the chair and its mate (which I didn't purchase) most recently belonged to Oklahoma's own Reba McEntire, and came from an auction at her ranch house near the little shop where I found it. Judging by the wooden peg

After countless starts and stops, Miss Wanda Jackson is finally finished and is awaiting her debut at the Oklahoma State Fair, along with dozens of other embroidered Okies. Since "Funnel of Love" is just about my favorite Wanda Jackson song, and since Oklahoma is known for its funnel clouds, I thought a giant embroidered cyclone was appropriate. My taller half even tried his hand at embroidery

I'm putting the finishing touches on my bathroom this weekend, including wiring in two new light fixtures (scary!). Speaking of electricity, I stumbled upon this fantastic video of "If You're a Viper", Bob Howard's 1937 cover of the ode to Wacky Tobacky, ingeniously paired with scenes from El hotel eléctrico. On an unrelated note, I want to thank each and every one of my faithful readers for

I'm still here! I've been working on home improvement projects and enjoying Summer's bounty along with a few delicious Shiner 101's. It's all we can do to keep cool these last couple of weeks with temps in the triple digits. I will return shortly with a dramatic bathroom before and after!

There's a new saint in Sweetheartville, and she's here to wrangle ragged cuticles, sculpt acrylics and gels, and wield a polish brush with precision. She's Saint Ginger, Patron Saint of Manicurists, and she joins Saint Tammy in the Sweetheartville Beauty Operator Prayer Candle lineup.Speaking of the nail techs, I've designed a new Beauty Button just for the nail-doin' ladies and gents:Also newly

Me: Sigh. What's this world coming to? Everyone is hateful and nasty and my Facebook feed is full of people who I have nothing in common with but friended because they asked me to and we were in the same English class in 9th grade. I work all the time, yet my house and yard still look like the scene where an Amnesia-riddled Goldie Hawn sees Kurt Russell's place for the first time in the 1987 hit

I've been under the weather for over a week, so there's not been much going on in Sweetheartville besides a lot of Netflixing and YouTubing. I can't get enough of the old clips of the beautiful Goldie Hill. With a voice like honey, and the looks of a Hollywood starlet, it's a shame she was probably most well known as the wife of Carl Smith, whom she married in 1957 after his split with June

Just check out the fabulous Two Crazy Crafters where Twyla and Lindsey have been sharing their fantastic collection of vintage Valentines plus new ways to use the images to achieve maximum cuteness. Also, my craftastic friend Dana (better known as Crafty Minx) made and stitched the most delicious vintage Valentine embroidery

A very eventful week in Sweetheartville was capped yesterday morning by the most exciting news: my St. Tammy Prayer Candle was featured in the Etsy Storque's Get The Look: Decor as part of a lovely collection inspired by Sandra's beautiful home. I see a lot of my own style in Sandra's decorating, and I am absolutely honored to have had a bit of my art included in the feature.If you'd like to be

While perusing the delightful Male Pattern Boldness this morning, I was lucky enough to discover this clip from 1945's "The Dolly Sisters" starring Betty Grable. Vintage beauty lovers, you are in for a real treat--lipstick, powder, rouge, and mascara brought to singing, dancing life. I nearly needed smelling salts!

After my post about Maynard Parker a while back, I was looking through some of my old magazines when it dawned on me that not only had I seen his work before I stumbled upon it online, I had held copies of his photographs in my hands as I perused some early 1960's "House Beautiful" magazines in my collection.I especially liked this home, designed for two single gal librarians in Tucson, Arizona

I recently treated myself to a book that I know I'll turn to for inspiration again and again. Vinyl Hayride, by Paul Kingsbury, is a fantastic collection of country music album covers spanning the years 1947 through 1989.How could a book featuring Webb Pierce and all this Nudie goodness on the front cover exist in the world without my owning a copy? Nonsense.Here's my old pal Hank Thompson in

I gave you a brief glimpse of St. Tammy when I returned from Deluxe. Now here she is in all her bouffanty glory:"Saint Tammy, full of style, blessed are thou among beauty operators. Holy Tammy, Backcomber of Bouffants, pray for us now and at the hour of our chemical processes. Amen."As I ever so slowly hone my amateur Photoshop skills, digital collage is becoming just about my favorite artistic

I can't remember now where I stumbled upon the photographs of Maynard Parker, the principal photographer for House Beautiful magazine between 1942 and 1965.The dramatic lighting! The saturated colors!Head over to The Huntington for a narrated slide show to see these and many other breathtaking images of mid century living.

I'm beyond excited to be participating in yet another wonderful project dreamed up by the creative geniuses responsible for Deluxe Indie Craft Bazaar. Last summer I quietly began work on an embroidered portrait of someone I admire. Well, Sara and I must have been on the same wavelength because shortly thereafter she proposed that those of us so inclined should stitch up a portrait of a famous

I've been having a bit of fun lately making "inspiration mosaics" with Flickr photos. Now that I finally have the time to devote to finishing all the house projects that I've been putting off, I've swung into full home decorating mode. As time goes by, I find myself straying further and further from the strictly kitschy/mid century modern aesthetic I used to crave. I'm beginning to gravitate

Besides a new year and a new decade, the first week of January brings a milestone birthday for me. Tomorrow I leave my twenties behind. I've come a long way, Dollfaces. As I bid adieu to the Aughts, I'm looking forward to what's to come with excitement. I've grown and changed so much over the last ten years, I finally feel like I know who I am and what I want from this life. Like most, I've made

It's that time when we begin to reflect on the year that's come and gone, and start looking forward to the fresh start January 1st will bring. I'm a planner and a dreamer, so my list-making tendencies are in overdrive. Art, craft, and home projects are filling the pages of my notebook as quickly as I can jot them down. One of the projects at the top of my list is a new bloggy collaboration

Merry Christmas to my Christmas celebratin' Dollfaces! All my dreaming paid off this year when a Christmas Eve blizzard left us with a White Christmas, a truly rare event for us Okies.The Sweethearts are about to venture out into the Winter Wonderland for visiting and gifting, but before we do, I thought I'd give you a tiny little tour of our Christmas Fancies.This year our tree was a turquoise

And now, dear readers, you are in for a real treat. Follow me to The Creative Center for America's Tremendous "Do-It-Yourself" Movement. That's right. The creative geniuses at Craft House have granted Sweetheartville exclusive access to their secret design lair, hidden deep inside the earth's core, constructed entirely of asbestos and Styrofoam balls which have been dipped in Cosmoline and

It happens that Irving Berlin's White Christmas is my favorite movie of all time, so when my mom found a little vintage craft booklet put out by Craft House in 1954 which features Rosemary Clooney on the cover, you know I was thrilled. It seems that "Smart Gals" "From Beverly Hills to Boston" are making their own holiday decorations this year. Well, I could have told you that.Look at these

Another excellent Deluxe Indie Craft Bazaar is over. Despite getting only four hours sleep the night before and managing to forget several pieces of my display, the show was a success. I met lots of new folks, received many, many overly flattering compliments on my work, and generally reveled in the company of hundreds of art-loving, handmade-supporting, like-minded people.My Beauty Buttons were,

The last minute scramble that always precedes a show is on. Some brand new, top secret Sweetheartville products will be making their debut at Deluxe and I couldn't be more excited about them. Here are a few of the little collages I'll be offering on Saturday. I'm selling this trio as a set, complete with matching vintage metal picture frames.Stop by and visit Sweetheartville if you're in the

I'm hard at work preparing for Deluxe Indie Craft Bazaar. It's hard to believe it's been a whole year since I participated in the first Deluxe, my very first craft show. This year I'll be bringing a wide assortment of handmade goodies, including these vintage-style pine cone people crafted mostly with vintage elements.

On our little Arkansas trip, we stopped at a place that I'd wanted to visit for quite some time. The Shiloh Museum of Ozark History is a truly wonderful little museum with interactive exhibits and close to a million historical images of life in the Ozarks housed in their research library.In addition to the museum building itself, the pretty shaded grounds hold six historical buildings.One of

The last few months have been a blur of adventures and illnesses it seems. One of our latest adventures was a spur of the moment trip to the beautiful Victorian town of Eureka Springs. My husband is from near there, so we've visited many times. We even drove over there to purchase my autoharp in the spring. But this visit was, by far, the most beautiful one we've made because the fall foliage was

Here's Little Red in the costume I made for her. I modified an online tutorial I found for a lined hooded cape, and embellished a two dollar Goodwill dress with vintage velvet ribbon and trim.The finishing touch was a fifty cent garage sale basket for carrying food to grandma or holding the spoils of an evening of trick-or-treating, as the case may be.What a stinker.

I'm very, very excited about an upcoming event I'll be participating in September 25-27 in Oklahoma City. Deluxe Craft Weekend is brought to you by Sara and J.D., hard working directors of Deluxe Indie Craft Bazaar and all around art and craft ninjas. This unique event features 36 solid hours of social crafting including nine meals from some of OKC's finest eateries. On top of a dedicated, secure

Needing a distraction, Sugar Pea and I hit some garage sales on Saturday as part of the second annual Kan-Okla 100 Mile Sale . I came away with quite a few treasures, but the best find was this 1960's Schwinn American complete with a headlight and baskets on the back. It's pretty much my dream bike, second only to Pee-Wee's, of course. I've been wanting a bike for some time, and I was just

The free festival features six local bands, as well as a market place of talented local artists and crafters, all coordinated by my dear friend Marissa.In addition to Heather's beautiful paintings, prints, postcards and fabulous new lapel lockets, we will have my Beauty Buttons,

After being cooped up in the house with colds, Sugar Pea and I were ready for some fresh air yesterday, so we hit the open road bound for one of my favorite local attractions, Totem Pole Park. We hadn't been since she was a tiny baby, and I was eager to take her now that she could appreciate the excursion. It was a perfect late summer Oklahoma day, just right for driving with the windows down and

The Sweethearts went on a little excursion last Monday to one of our most favorite places, Osage Hills State Park. It's where we got hitched nearly seven years ago, and the first (and last) place Mr. Sweetheart accidentally threw a rock at my head. In fact, my head and various rocks have had more than one meeting at Osage Hills. But, those are stories for another time.Thankfully, the days are

I made this wonky little cowboy a while back to send to Nicaragua with Eren of This Vintage Chica as part of Craft Hope's second project.He's a bit wonky because, in usual procrastinator fashion, I was literally stuffing and sewing him a half hour before the Post Office closed on the last day to mail him in time for his trip to South America.

Lately, I've been a bit obsessed with teeny, tiny worlds under glass. The seed for this obsession may have been planted when, as a child, my green thumb-havin' Hippie Mama helped me make my own little terrarium. I don't remember the little ecosystem thriving under my care (I'm sure I quickly lost interest), but the fond memory of designing my own magical landscape, all contained in a glass bubble

You may recall me mentioning that I was working on a Depression Era themed project this spring. My friends Sara and J.D., the lovely, hard working ladies behind Deluxe Indie Craft Bazaar and Wayward Textile Foundation, asked me to take part in a photo shoot with the two of them and the oh-so-talented Samantha Lamb. I styled our hair in some 1930's-esque styles, and donning some pretty dresses, we

Know what Mister and I did on our Summer vacation? We went and started ourselves a band. I use the term "band" pretty loosely here. "Recording project" is more accurate. Actually, "Whatever we can accomplish with our crappy recording equipment after Sugar Pea has finally gone to sleep for the night, if we're not too tired, or don't have a Netflix movie with dirty words that needs to be watched

A while back, our friends Heather and Audrey accompanied us to The Little House on the Prairie, Laura Ingalls Wilder's home site near Independence, KS, for a day of exploring and picnic-ing. I had not been since I was a little girl, though I've lived within a couple dozen miles of there most of my life. As a child, I was smitten with Ms. Wilder's books, and used to roam the pastures and creek

A few days ago, while browsing at an antique mall, I found this old photograph.When I turned it over and saw what was written on the back, I just had to bring it home."This is our home with Pa and me in the yard I look fleshey there but I had my every day clothes on and they make me look larger." It's signed "Ona" or "Onay". I can't quite tell. Even a hundred years ago, women were worried about

While doing some research for a Depression era themed project I'm working on, I came across this clip of some 1930's fashion designers' take on what we'd be wearing in the year 2000. Enjoy.

Against their better judgement, they made me a "Featured Artist" on their website!Well, of course they wanted photos of lil' ol' me, and not wanting to disappoint, I called up my friend Autumn, and her ridiculous photography skills, and she very kindly obliged me with a downtown photo shoot.
