Etcetera
I hope everyone had as great of a thanksgiving as I did. We went up to my in-laws and I brought Zucchini bread and chocolate cream pie for dessert. We chatted with friends and drank sparkling cider and went around the table and shared what we were thankful for. Looking back, I really have alot…

Publicity
I recently launched a fan page for my etsy store, so if you’ve been there and like what you see, make sure you check it out and become a fan! Also, my sister in-law featured my article on The Box on her review site, the pickled wookiee.

The Box :: Thoughts
[dailymotion id=xa1bks] The Box…is actually a movie about a button, and quite frankly, it pushed mine. Though, it did so much more than that – it was deeply moving, and while unappreciated by myself, I left the theater unable to stop thinking about it and how it affected me. The subtleties and metaphors were not…

Flowers
I re-learned how to crochet a granny-square flower a few days ago, and made a video for my mom and thought I’d share it. I had issues editing/exporting/finding it so, the embed is just the raw footage… You can also click the link and go to my vimeo channel, I made a one minute ending…

unafraid
Often times I find myself feeling like a little kid overwhelmed in a great big world – I don’t think my height helps. I realized lately that more often than not I’ve been living in fear. It’s paralyzing, it’s cowardly, and it’s no fun to live in. I’ve had it with living in fear of…

Feminity
Every year I wear the same costume – a colonial dress my grandma and I made from a Felicity pattern about 4 years ago. I love the squared neckline and the lace accents and the blue flowered material, I almost feel like I’ve stepped back in time (except not really, because the people in Star…

Election Day
Tomorrow, for the first time, I’ll actually get to vote. I can honestly say I’ve been waiting for this moment for years and I’m more than a little bit psyched about it. I spent most of high school campaigning and encouraging everyone around me to go out on election day, and finally I can join…
