Lotsa Pope and a little bit of clothes

Hey my friends! Over the next month and a half I have not one, not two, but FOUR weddings to attend. Plus necessary other-events that go along with them (showers and the like). Tonight is one such event (Bachelorette partay, actually). So! This will be so short. I will give you some points to ponder.ContinueContinue reading “Lotsa Pope and a little bit of clothes”

What I Wore Wednesday

Sooo, I wore that same sweater last Wednesday, too, but didn’t realize until I already had it on. You know what? It’s a good sweater, colored blue like my eyes. I appreciate the sensible side (cardigan! 3/4 sleeves!) but also the lady-like bow. That skirt is tried and true. Versitle, classy, GREAT lines, neutral shade.ContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”

What I Wore Wednesday

Today I’m wearing a vintage dress I bought at a church rummage sale. The fabric is light and summer; it’s covered in outdated-yellow polka dots that are speckled with an occasional teal. I think this dress is fantastic, even though it isn’t a perfect fit. The light-weight material is PERFECT for the summer. The flowContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”

Nell goes to a BABY SHOWER

Hi. Where have I been??? Mostly: crazy. 🙂 Count-down to Spain: 8 days. Woot. Anyway, I had a baby shower last weekend. Now, baby showers are finicky business. I like to bring useful, cute things…but it’s hard to know what to bring. Here’s what I did for this one: hats, baby hats. That and IContinueContinue reading “Nell goes to a BABY SHOWER”

Personal challenge: can I make a skirt IN ONE DAY?

Probably you’re like, “ALL YOU EVER DO THESE DAYS IS TALK ABOUT THE CAMINO.” But I’m like, “IT’S TAKING UP A LOT OF TIME IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.” We can talk all-caps. We’re friends. Anyway, it’s not my whole life, but it is a good percentage at this stage of the game. Some ofContinueContinue reading “Personal challenge: can I make a skirt IN ONE DAY?”

Packing for Spain. Now with BONUS Paper doll!

We leave soon. 🙂 So soon. Some helpful people will say things like, “Let me know if I can help you pack, OK?” Thing is, on the Camino the goal is the least amount of weight you can carry. I don’t really have everything I need yet, but here’s a PAPER DOLL to show youContinueContinue reading “Packing for Spain. Now with BONUS Paper doll!”

May Crafting Challenge!

Way back in middle school I knew a dude named “Gabe,” and he signed up for the Crafting Challenge! (For May. I did complete this in May, by the way…just didn’t post until now). Now, I don’t really see Gabe around all that often…but I did run into him at the family’s Snowball in JanuaryContinueContinue reading “May Crafting Challenge!”

What I Wore Wednesday Girrrrrrrrl

I take selfies, K? And in this one my head is cut off…which is kind of a shame because I just got a really cute haircut. Like Peter Pan. Anyway! I LOVE these shoes. They’re pretty new, but like walking on a cloud and therefore I predict I will live in them. They were onContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday Girrrrrrrrl”
