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 forgot to mention last month that Cors turned five-years-old. It’s hard to believe he was ever the tiny little teddy bear that we brought home all those years ago. But he’s still every bit as cute and crazy and fun. Cors was a little extra mischievous this weekend. He stole cleaning rags when I [...]
There’s been a lot of plotting and scheming happening in this house. Don’t worry they are good plots and excellent schemes. Fingers-crossed, I can share a few of them soon. But first we have to get through the school year and Joel’s graduation. Have I mentioned that Joel’s graduation means a trip to New York [...]
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? [...]
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 [...]
Tonight is a bustling one! I’ve been running around cleaning the house, packing for a short road trip that’s coming up this weekend, and fitting in some schoolwork here and there. All the activity is distracting me from feeling nervous about an interview I have tomorrow morning. It isn’t for an exciting job, but I [...]
Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was peaceful and happy. Friday night, I painted my nails, did some homework, and watched the live showings of graduating students from my program at NYC Fashion week. It was so exciting and a little stressful to think I’ll be there myself someday. [...]
I’m just going to write this and hope I don’t jinx myself. This semester is going SO well! There I said it. I’ve been getting all of my work done throughout the week and only have small projects for the weekend. Most gloriously of all I feel like I’m learning something. Maybe because I’ve been [...]
Thursday morning the snow came and it has been snowing off and on ever since. We have a nice thick blanket of the stuff and Cors and I keep making little excursions to jump around in the thick banks the wind pushes together. Cors loves the snow! I love any excuse for getting cozy inside [...]
This weekend was a mash-up of frantically finishing up projects and finals, decking the halls, a sushi date, a sink overflowing with used coffee cups, carpet cleaning chaos, and a Christmas tree. Our very first real-live Christmas tree. I love it! We bought it off of a pair of adorable Boy Scouts and brought it [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
