The second-to-last time I went on a short trip I reached my wit’s end with my travel bag. The strap length was all wrong, making the bag really uncomfortable and unwieldy to carry, and it wasn’t really big enough for all of my stuff. Which makes sense, considering that I don’t think it was actually […]
DIY Clear Mini Business Card Holder Tutorial
Recently I realized that I wish I had an easy-to-access holder for my business cards. I often carry around my tote bag featuring a cat in space, and I get frequent comments and compliments on it. I keep a stack of business cards in my wallet to give people when this situation arises, but with […]

This leather handle box would be perfect for storing craft supplies and tools. These copycat Lush bath bombs make me want to climb in the tub with some tea and a good […]
Pinto Beans and Whole Wheat Cornbread
You know how when you’re looking for something in a thrift store, you can never find it? Even something that seemed ubiquitous before suddenly becomes scarce once you want it.
