I am a little worried that if I write for too long about The Ace Hotel my words will turn into the kind of mushy “I like you” poem that a 7th grader might write. That said, I do like like The Ace. We walked into our room and it was like Christmas. What a gorgeous room! Every [...]
We’re back from a really, truly great week in New York. It’s always a little odd coming back from vacation, but this return has the added oddity of our upcoming move to Austin, Texas next month. Have I written about that here yet? I can’t remember. Last Wednesday I got up at 5am and finished my last garment for [...]
I’m sorry it’s been so quiet around here! I have lots of projects and a little news that I want to write about, but I’ve been hiding under a sea of homework. I’ve finished everything for two classes and I just need to finish one last garment for the semester. Tonight. I need to finish it tonight [...]
I know it’s Tuesday night already, but I’m still trying to catch up from a blur of a weekend. It was an Ohio-shaped blur. We drove Cleveland and hung out at the first coffee shop we came across. We read books, drank too many cups of coffee, and met up with two different sets of college [...]
So as promised, I’ve put together a photo heavy post to bore you with my vacation memories share a little bit of our lovely Williamsburg, Virginia holiday. We ended up being there at a kind of funny time. All the harvest things were over and the Christmas decorations were only just going up, but it [...]
I am so glad that I didn’t set foot in a single large store this Thanksgiving weekend. The thought of being mashed up in a frazzled crowed under fluorescent lights trying to reach things that don’t really have anything special about them? No, thank you. Instead, we spent our last day in West Virginia with [...]
Today we trudged, or rather fought lots of post-holiday traffic, back to the prairies of northern Illinois and left the beautiful (wild and wonderful) mountains of West Virginia behind. West Virginia is my home state but I haven’t lived there since going to college, but every time I go back I feel it tug a [...]
Hello! Sorry things have been quiet around here! The best of intentions to have posts schedule for the last few days gave way to impossible expectations for myself that didn’t pan out too well. I was working hard to get my homework done before our Thanksgiving trip. Now my classwork is done and it’s so [...]
I’ve been itching for a bit of travel lately. If I could plan a trip to anywhere, I would go back to Ireland. This time I’d like to drive all over, preferably in a super cute VW bus. I would go to the Cliffs of Moher, Giants Causeway and lots of places inbetween. I would [...]
So what have I been doing while the blog was quiet last week? I was having a long weekend of adventures! Thursday, Joel’s birthday, was filled with exploring different part of Chicago that we had never seen before. After presents and coffee we drove down to the city to the Museum of Science and Industry. [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
