Valentine’s Day used to be one of my very favorite holidays. This was back when I was single, which was most of my adult life. When I tell people this, they are always surprised. Why in the world would a single girl like Valentine’s Day? Because when you’re single, you can get flowers from lots of boys [...]

my messy house
I cannot wait until the bar exam. I’m going to spend days just organizing and cleaning.

yard transformation
I am too lazy to edit my photos before I post them. What this meant before was that I simply wouldn’t post. But I’ve decided that I’ll just go ahead and post my crappy photos so I don’t just keep taking them, and doing things, and not writing about any of it because I’m too [...]

missing in action
It has been so long since I wrote anything. I promise I’m doing stuff, I just don’t have the time or energy to write about it. And I feel a little weird just writing about stuff without supporting it with pictures, which makes it so much less likely that I’ll write anything, because lately I [...]

getting crafty at work
I decided to bring some of my crafty things with me to work, so I could get some stuff done while I’m here. (Note: My job involves sitting at a desk and looking pretty for 8 hours a day. Occasionally I will answer a phone. So crafting isn’t cutting into any working time, it’s just [...]

my christmas haul
Yes, I’m going to take a moment to brag about what I got for Christmas. My parents still do a pretty big Christmas for me and my siblings, gift-wise, even though we are all definitely old enough to be fending for ourselves. They do things a little differently, though. Ever since I was around 15 [...]

colors
Rather than relying on paint store rejects for the actual wedding woodcrafts, I decided to go ahead and purchase paint. But what to do when I don’t know exactly what colors I want, and I certainly don’t need a gallon of each? I got samples! Behr has a feature on their site that lets you [...]

show me a sign
My latest project has been sign making. I’ve been inspired by all the rustic chic weddings I’ve seen all over the internet, and decided that I wanted to make my own signs for everything. You know, little wooden signs to hang on the back of our chairs that say “bride” and “groom” or “mr” and [...]

Welcome to Domestic Novice
It’s been a while. A long time ago, in a district far far away, I was a law student. I started this blog to document the things I did at home while trying to avoid losing my mind at school. I decided to try my hand at baking, sewing, gardening… anything and everything I could [...]
