It still feels like winter (there was frost on the ground this morning!) so summer clothes aren’t quite the right thing just yet. But I’ve been going through my clothes and weeding out things that I haven’t worn in a year or two and making room for a few additions. I know some people don’t [...]
I’m still pouring over the stunning Rowan Magazine (vol. 48) that I picked up in Madison this weekend. So I thought I’d share a peak today. Rowan has been publishing a biannual knit and crochet magazine for twenty-five years. Kind of amazing, isn’t it? Each page is a feast of textile inspiration. Volume 48 is [...]
This week I’m keeping my To Make and To Do lists pretty simple. I have a whole bunch of goals for the summer so here’s to ticking off two more! To Make I’m making time to read books. I used to read just for fun all the time in high school and college, but this [...]
Yesterday, I came home to an exciting piece of news. I got into grad school! I’ll be starting my MFA in Fashion Design: Knitwear at Academy of Art University in the fall and well, yay! That’s mostly all I have to say about it right now. Today’s mail brought a little present from Joel. A [...]
It feels like forever since I’ve talked about books on here. I’m thinking that’s probably because it can get a little tricky juggling a book and knitting needles. I asked for a few books this Christmas. I’m slowly replacing my ancient paperback, cheap-o versions of books I love with nicer, mix-match hardbacks. I once read [...]
Today was hot, ridiculously hot for October! Cors collapsed in a panting heap as soon as we got home from our walk. I had to run some errands and I ended up coming home with lovely, dark purple mums and the most perfect little pumpkin. They’re nice little reminders that it is fall. I feel [...]
I just love this beautiful, bookish Etsy shop called Retro Reading! It’s a gorgeously curated collection of vintage books. The photographs are exquisite and the collections are so thoughtfully put together, some in stacks of different shades of the same colors others is in the perfect set of three…it makes me think that my bookshelves [...]
It’s hard to believe, but today is the very last post in the reading List series. I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have and maybe you’ve even found a new favorite! And if you missed the first two you can check them out over here and here. Enjoy!
I don’t know about you, but I am so ready for the weekend! Next week is going to be a bit crazy (but lots of fun, too!) so this weekend feels like a nice pause for breath. Which is just what I need! I came across this photo today on flickr and I just love [...]
“What should I read next?” I feel like I ask myself this question all the time. Since fall is the perfect time to snuggle up with a warm drink and a good book, I asked ten of my book-loving friends to answer that question for me. I’ll be posting their answers throughout the month of September. [...]
