It's September and it's still 90 degrees. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I want to wear boots and hoodies. Or at least have the option so when I wear sleeveless dresses and flip flops people can say, "What is wrong with you, where is your jacket?!" I don't know...
At the beginning of this year, I wrote down a lot of goals for myself. It turns out publishing a book takes up a lot of your time (who knew?!) and I realized there's not enough time before the new year to cross off one of my yarnbomb related goals by myself. I've had...

Something on my Bucket List is to "cook a meal that doesn't kill anyone". Last month, I teamed up with Allie of Alexandra Rae Designs to do a giveaway meets recipe card challenge. I asked you all to send me in your favorite recipes. I chose two of my favorite cards,...
Hey babes. How's your week going? Things are alright over here, trying to work my butt off. I'm loving this song by Mumford & Sons, and I've been watching a lot of 30 Rock lately. There's not too much else to report around here! My Kickstarter ended a week ago,...
