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 [...]
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 [...]
Goodness, my weekend is all out of sorts. I woke up Saturday feeling under the weather and wasn’t able to get all the schoolwork done that I wanted. So today it’s all tea and pattern drafting. I just don’t care for tea maybe because I only ever drink it when I’m sick. On a different [...]
This is not a very exciting post, because most of my weekend was spent drawing lots and lots for my design class and measuring and remeasuring and cutting for my construction class and taking care of other schoolwork things. I managed to sneak in a little knitting, too. I tell myself it’s good for homework [...]
There’s probably nothing better than getting home from work and seeing an unexpected box waiting for you on the doorstep! Yesterday I came home to a box labeled “Pro Plants” or something like that. I couldn’t think of what it could be. Okay, I knew it was probably a plant but it isn’t my birthday [...]
There isn’t much to report today. I’m just having a nice, quiet evening of Joni Mitchell (isn’t Blue the best?)and fancy grilled cheese and knitting away on some new things for the shop. I’m going to have a few new styles of Baby Mocs to share on Thursday. They’re super cute!
Last night we had a steady drenching rain. It was perfect for lighting candles, drinking coffee and reading books. I love rainy, gloomy days best of all and this one felt perfect. It made me start thinking even more of fall and how excited I am for it to get here. I organized my stationary [...]
Summertime is here! Oddly enough we had a power outage at work today. It felt weird because if we have a power outage it’s nearly always because of blizzards and that sort of thing. Without power we couldn’t do any work so we got to leave early! I celebrated summer and the extra free time [...]
I wanted to spend today tackling the waist-high weeds that magically appeared while we were in California, but after a brief battle with mosquitos that ended in my defeat, I changed my mind. Now I am hiding out inside and waiting for the coffee maker to beep. So I thought I’d share this super good [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
