I'm so disappointed in myself.

First I failed to come up with AYFKMWTS. And now, I didn't think of decornographer. I srsly suck.

Anyway, this post from Jezebel (The New Decornographers: Bloggers With Perfect, Beautiful, Craftsy Lives) kind of ruled in that it gave voice to that creeping feeling most of us have about not quite measuring up to those wonderfully talented, creative, designer-y, bloggers who are constantly doing shit like making homemade pickled ginger and re-purposing old Ralph Lauren sweaters into a hopelessly chic baby blanket. All the while taking pitch perfect photos and throwing a dinner party for 16 (with a mexican street food theme inspired by the food trucks in Mexico City ...duh!). And flea market shopping!

But maybe, just maybe if I focus, and practice, and stop spending so much time watching the friggin Real Housewives franchise, m-a-y-b-e I could be a decornographer too!!??
