Recently I’ve come to appreciate the bad-hair-day-hiding capabilities of hats. The top of my hair could be all frizzy and messy, with roots that need some work, but you’d never know thanks to my hat. I knit it a couple of years ago using this pattern, and I’m working on another, this time from this […]
Spring 2012: Minty Fresh
Lately I’ve been taken with the pretty pastel shades popping up everywhere for spring. I made a Pinterest board to catalog the looks I love, and I noticed a lot of mint. Which is not surprising, considering that I love both the flavor and the color of mint (just look at my blog header and […]
Outfit Post: Pattern Mixing Lite
The only reason this qualifies as pattern mixing is that the shirt underneath my sweater has tiny little black polka-dots. It’s subtle, but technically it counts! I’ll try to be more adventurous with my patterns next time, though.
Jewelry Rack
With an old unused frame, a little spray paint, a few tools, and some help from Mother Nature, I made myself a jewelry rack last week. I can’t take credit for the idea, since it was mostly inspired by this one that I found on Pinterest. I didn’t take step-by-step photos for this project, but […]
Misty Woods
It may be super gray and misty around here, but all that rain means that it’s excessively green even in the middle of winter. Maybe it’s good that I don’t have much green in my wardrobe–I’d blend right in. (The dress is from H&M a couple of years ago, and everything else is similarly old […]

Nothing seems to sap my blogging mojo like moving, but I’m trying to get back into the habit by tackling some projects I’ve been meaning to try. Most of my craft supplies are in storage indefinitely, so I decided to make a tabletop terrarium because I had everything on hand except for the container, which […]
Today I was determined to take some outfit pictures even though my tripod is (I think) packed away in a pod that hasn’t yet reached this side of the country, and there was no one around to be my photographer. My method involved propped my camera up on a garden bench, which didn’t actually work […]
12 for 2012
Happy New Year! Normally I don’t make any resolutions on January 1, but this year I decided to set some loose goals for myself just so they would be on my mind. 1. Spend more time with friends and family This will be a lot easier since we moved back to the West Coast, where […]
Season’s Greetings!
Just a note that I am still alive and planning to come back to blogging soon! After packing up/shipping/getting rid of all of our stuff, over Christmas we drove across the country and arrived back on the West Coast at 2:30 am on Christmas morning. In three days we drove ourselves and our two cats […]
