Better Late Then Never

I'm bringing the blog back!

...but it's going to be a lot different.

Instead of being about study abroad or whatever pops into my head, it's going to be about crafting--mostly sewing, knitting, design, and decor.  I've had difficulty finding sewing and knitting resources in both my age group (early 20s) and aesthetic (NOT Anne of Green Gables), so my hope is to find them through this blog or connect to others in the same boat. 

Topics you can expect:

-projects I've completed/am working on
-inspiration!
-resources (blogs, techniques, books) I've found helpful

...for Dummies

But seriously,  who leaves the "Murder, She Wrote" reference out?

Can I get a toot, toot? Beep,  beep?

Damn it, Billie...

...you burned my tilapia. 

I forgive you.

Hardboiled and Loaded with Sin

"I kissed her. Her eyes were shining up at me like two blue stars. It was like being in church."

-James M. Cain, The Postman Always Rings Twice

the precious, the incommunicable past

This song reminds me of one of my favorite novels, Willa Cather's My Ántonia. There's an Emmylou Harris and Davis Matthews duet supposedly based on the novel, but don't listen to it--it's terrible.
