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 [...]
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!
“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. [...]
As soon as I saw RoughdrAftbooks I just fell in love with everything in the shop! It’s a wonderful, one woman bookmaking shop based in Philadelphia and has everything from notepads to journals. I’m so glad E was able to make some time to share her work today. Prepare to swoon! Q. Could you tell [...]
There is just something about Fall that makes me wish for a new book, something I haven’t read yet. Maybe it’s the back to school, “bouquets of sharpened pencil” feeling that permeates the end of summer and beginning of autumn. That’s probably why early last week, I found myself standing (on tip toes) checking out [...]
I’ve seen this little novelty book of quotes popping up in quite a few places. It’s printed in the Keep Calm and Carry On motif, but I’m not 100% sure why, maybe the quotes are calming or maybe because Keep Calm simply sells? (Full disclosure, I have this print hanging in my dining room and [...]
You’ve probably seen the cover of Tree Cups of Tea dozens of times, and if you’re like me, you might have even picked it up on visits to your local bookstore, flipping through a few pages before returning it to its table or shelf. It’s not that I didn’t think the story looked interesting, but [...]
We have a lot of books, boxes and boxes of them and for some reason we’ve never had enough bookcases, until now! We picked up a few lovely Billy bookcases from Ikea yesterday and I’ve spent most of the afternoon getting all the books organized on the shelves. And I had to share some gorgeous [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
