Hello! This week is flying! I’m just stopping in between schoolwork to share sixteen things that I’m loving this week. Yesterday, I made an Etsy treasury. Even after all these years (I think it’s been three?) I am still so inspired by all the good on Etsy. I really like this treasury. It’s such a [...]
Today, I am very excited to share a little interview with the talented Yas from Quill and Fox! All of her work is so lovely. I even did my own Valentine card shopping in her shop. Make sure you visit her Etsy shop and site. Thanks for sparing time for this interview, Yas!
I spent lots of time in college writing letters for Amnesty International and over the last 6 months or so I have been pestering writing to my members of congress about lots of other issues that matter to me. I thought today on this SOPA Blackout Day I should share my tips for writing to [...]
Every year before the frosts come, I bring in lots of plants. They end up in pretty much any room that gets some decent sun. Upstairs and down, they really are scattered all over. I grew strawberries for the first time last summer and I brought the strawberry plants in for the winter and the little [...]
The campus where I work is empty of students and the quiet seems especially suited to reading and knitting and drinking coffee, which is just what I do on my lunch breaks. Right now I’m reading one of the books I got for Christmas, Brideshead Revisited. I’ve been wanting to read it for quite sometime,
If you’ve been reading my blog for a little while, you might have picked up on how much I like lists. Lists, goals, making plans I love them all! So when I saw this post by Jena (that smart lady over at Miss Modish) about the 12 by 2012 project I was instantly hooked. It’s [...]
Okay, let’s say it’s getting cold outside and you want something to keep your hands warm and busy, but oh no! you are out of yarn. Well, don’t worry I’ve gathered some of my most favorites for you to check out. I love each of these and have been knitting with them all for sometime [...]
When I was younger, we had to take standardized tests all the time (at least it felt like all the time). No matter how long the testing days felt I always knew that my mom would pick my sister and me up and take us to the arcade and I would play skee ball. Lots of skee [...]
It’s a little hard to believe that September is here already. Today felt like the hottest, most humid summer day, but I am happy to see Fall getting a little bit closer! I’m excited for hot chocolate and wood smoke and sweaters and other good things like birthday celebrations and pumpkins! Today was also my [...]
I’m running a little bit behind on my new Baby Moccasin unveiling, because I got a little distracted by today’s amazing weather and all the signs of fall that are showing up in the garden. Everywhere you look, new bits of color are popping up. The crab apple trees are covered in cheerful red berries and [...]
