Ok, so “daily” might be a tad bit extreme for this Make Stuff Up Challenge. I mean, I actually did spend a shit load of time making stuff over the last few days but it’s so completely boring that I couldn’t really write an entire blog post about it.

DAY 6: It’s Frickin’ Hot: Coffee Ice Cubes & Coffee Popsicles
It’s been hot here in the Bay Area this week. Not pretend Bay Area “hot” but actual, legitimate hot. It was 88 yesterday which, for April, is hot. AND I think from my 1 min of internet research it was possibly one of the hottest temps in the country yesterday. maybe. Well, even on hotContinue reading “DAY 6: It’s Frickin’ Hot: Coffee Ice Cubes & Coffee Popsicles”
DAY 5: FAIRY CROWNS
We rolled back into town yesterday from Santa Cruz, haggard and sandy, about an hour before a neighborhood birthday party. I think they said no gifts but in my head that equates to “small, less permanent gift” (i.e. we don’t need any more plastic crap in our house) Pre-Make Stuff Up I might have grabbedContinue reading “DAY 5: FAIRY CROWNS”

Alright! Let’s get this “Make Stuff Up” Challenge going. I’m super psyched and ready to… PREP. UGH. Ok, so yeah, maybe this isn’t the most exciting way to kick off my creative challenge but this basement project has been hanging over my head for awhile so let’s start big. Truth be told, the real shoutContinue reading “DAY 1: Prep = 80% of the work, 0% of the fun”
Make Stuff Up Challenge
I am launching this creative challenge for myself: Make something every day. Make Stuff Up. If I can make it, have the time to make it, then I make it. You get the idea. Blogging about it will hopefully keep me to it. Maybe share some learnings, get some good feedback, but basically make myselfContinue reading “Make Stuff Up Challenge”
