[photo credit: Twinkie Chan] Listen. Twinkie Chan is 1000% my favorite person on the internet and actually pretty high up there for favorite people in the whole world in general. I’ve been making designs from her patterns for years — to be honest, I think my first time EVER making something from a written pattern wasRead more
I made a deal with myself to commit to my blog fully for a few reasons: 1. blogging is something I love and I hadn’t been making time for it, 2. I want the writing practice, since I don’t do it anymore during my day job, and 3. I’m challenging myself to actually monetize aRead more
I first started listening to podcasts all the way back in, like, 2010 or 2011. I had a two-hour a day commute, I got my first iPod, and I wanted to dive in and start listening to people talk about what I wanted to hear about! I can’t remember what I even subscribed to backRead more
For today’s finished project, I’d like to share with you one of my VERY favorite items I’ve ever made up. I posted about this on my now-defunct blog back in 2014 and UNFORTUNATELY, this little guy was thrown away in the trash at my last job because I forgot it in a meeting room likeRead more
I love journals and planners and daily calendars — I had a Saffiano Personal Filofax for years, and after that, a few types of kikki.K personal planners. Admittedly, my daily usage is down lately (not being at a desk job changes things a bit), but there was a long period of my life where IRead more

One of my very favorite things to make year-round is soup — I love smelling all the ingredients simmering together on the stove top, I love cooking a huge batch early in the day and having little bowl after little bowl for lunch, dinner, and late night snack, and I love experimenting with new flavorsRead more

My free week at CorePower Yoga flew by extremely quickly. Yesterday, I went to C1.5 — which was heated (not hot) yoga — and this morning I went to C1 for my final free class. I had a great experience at both and I’m pretty sad that I have no more classes to go to.Read more
I started my blog again on June 6th, after not updating it since September of the year before. I am not quite sure why I took such a long break, but this month is the hardest I’ve worked on any blog I’ve had, and I’m glad I’m back to it. A lot of this monthRead more
