It’s a misty spring morning and Cors and I went stamping through the park. We saw ducks waddling and quacking along their way to the lake and got very wet and a little muddy. Somehow after all that, a quick trip to the store for tiger tail donuts (my favorite!) seemed in order. And an [...]
I always seem to start a new week with a batch of photos from the weekend. And most of these photos are of food. I think it’s because I have a little more time on the weekend to make something photo worthy. Plus there are a few more minutes to take time to photograph it [...]
I didn’t get many photos of the weekend. I guess I was too busy enjoying myself. I balanced enjoyment and work pretty well this weekend, which can be an unusual occurrence for me. Normally, I play too much (ignoring laundry in favor of baking, etc) or work all weekend and feel wiped out on Monday morning when I find myself back [...]
The weekend was a success. Lots of work was done, coffee was drunk, the dog taken for walks, and thunderstorms admired. I took a handful of photos mostly of things being drunk or eaten, like homemade cheesecake with blueberry topping. I made it partially as a joke for Joel’s 5 year “twitter birthday” (thus the [...]
What a weekend! Friday we headed south to help celebrate our friends’ wedding. I don’t think I have ever been to such a fun wedding before. Was there a mini rave at the reception? Oh yes, glowsticks and everything! It was also very beautiful. Cassie, the bride, did an amazing job of hand-making so many [...]
The thing I dislike most about being sick (other than that whole being sick part) is how it can throw off plans and take away any momentum I have going on projects. Today I’m quite glad to have a normal, at-work Monday. I think it’s what I need to get back to tackling projects. This weekend didn’t [...]
This past weekend was full of celebrations, first a birthday party and then a bachelorette shower. I did my nails Friday afternoon to get them in the part spirit and thought it would be fun to get a few photos of my current favorite manicure. This so simple style has been my go to lately. I [...]
Yesterday, I mentioned that did a lot of sewing this weekend. (Tons!) Something that I’ve learned this semester is that I sew best when I take lots of breaks. It feels wrong or lazy, but leaving time between steps has helped me be more accurate. So what do I do when I’m taking a break? [...]
This has been a weekend of digging in and getting things done. Joel’s been finishing up his thesis and I’ve been sewing and sewing and sewing. I’m actually seeing progress in my construction skills this semester. I installed a zipper and sleeves correctly on the first try yesterday. It felt like a major victory. Now [...]
On snowy mornings when the wind is blowing, there is nothing better than a breakfast of some granola, toast with raspberry jam and Irish butter, and hot coffee to wash it all down. I’ve made a new rule for myself: no computer before breakfast. So far it’s been wonderful, I feel less rushed in the [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
