it’s not all fun and games by Bored & Crafty on Jul 3, 2010So you’d better find a way to make life a little less of a chore. Why don’t you make it a habit to leave little “notes” to someone special every morning? How about spending lunch with an old toy? Or eating dinner on a breakf...

21 questions by Bored & Crafty on Jun 27, 2010What do you do? I am a freelance writer. What brand is your sewing machine? I have a Homemaker surplus sewing machine. Where did you buy your sewing machine? Just like everything else I own (I kid), I got it from eBay. Why are you more narcissistic t...

jack of all trades by Bored & Crafty on Jun 24, 2010So the boyfriend will be doing something awesome this August.

oh the fever by Bored & Crafty on Jun 15, 2010For some weird reason, the boyfriend decided that he likes the Boston Celtics. Weird because we are not into sports. But I can understand what it’s like to be a fan and I gather I probably have the moxie to do something crazy in support of a te...

an afternoon for bleeding by Bored & Crafty on Jun 13, 2010Meream: Any suggestions for my next tattoo? The boyfriend: Just tell me what you want and I’ll draw it for you.
