interweave yarn festival
Yesterday, my mama and I went to the Interweave Yarn Festival in Loveland to celebrate her birthday. She’s a knitting lady herself, and she just got into spinning, so I thought it’d be great fun. We were not disappointed! It was so interesting to be there and to see all the different businesses, types of […]
my favorite [free] knitting patterns
So I didn’t get much of my goal list done this week. *cough, migraine, cough* Which is a bummer, but sometimes you can’t do everything, or barely anything at all. Gotta roll with the punches! This weekend my mama and I are planning to attend the Interweave Yarn Festival in Loveland so if you’re there […]
sunday seven no.1
I’ve seen the idea of Sunday Seven on different blogs and really like it so I’m going to give it a try! It’s a break from the usual posts and a chance to get to know me and real life. Without further ado…
cookie cake
I don’t start work until Monday so I’ve had some extra time on my hands to get things done. I’ve knitted (things should be added to my etsy shop soon!), read a book, taken naps, done a LOT of laundry, cleaned up around the house, and baked. It’s been like my own mini spring break!
what i learned//volunteering
I got a new job! I’ll be working as a Development and Marketing Associate at the same Domestic Violence Shelter that I was volunteering at, and I’m so excited to learn more about the nonprofit business world and be able to impact others with my work. Unfortunately, this means that I’ll no longer be able […]
how to read more
Source: How to Read More I love these tips from Austin Kleon–especially No. 4. I have such a hard time continuing to read something I’m not in love with. I’m currently a little over halfway through a book that I’m trying to decide whether or not to finish. I like the concept but the author adds […]
Affordable Date Ideas in Colorado
This is one of my very first posts from 2016! As I’ve been working on re-vamping the blog and website it has been fun (and at times, embarassing) to go through posts that are now nearly 10 years old. (Let’s just say that now all of my very millennial style posts are private, ha!) Nate […]
little gifts//march six
This, overall, has been a very rough week. But, in the midst of things, I’m learning to say that it is well with my soul. In times of trouble, I’ve often turned to counting little gifts, as a way of finding the good and the blessings within the heartache. I am always cataloging things in […]
march third, take two
Today was going to be another style post, and I had most of it written and put together. But now that seems inconsequential. Today, I got laid off. The firm that I was working for hasn’t been making enough to keep everyone afloat, and as everyone knows, payroll is the most expensive aspect of a […]
my favorite childhood books #1
As a child, I read constantly. My mom and dad would read to us every night, and I distinctly remember my dad reading the Chronicles of Narnia to my sister and I chapter by chapter for a few weeks until it was over. My mom is also a bookworm and she passed her love of […]
