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 The fabric is light and summer; it’s covered in outdated-yellow polka dots that are speckled with an occasional teal.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”

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!”

June Crafting Challenge!

Remember how, in May, I made a bow tie and it was a lot harder than expected? And the same held true for April’s craft? I decided that, for June, I was going to take things simply. Simply and beautifully. Lucky for me, June was dedicated to a young woman anyway (girls are way easierContinueContinue reading “June Crafting Challenge!”

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”

What I Wore Wednesday

My brother, Paul, unexpectedly mentioned that he wanted to be featured in a “What I Wore Wednesday.” I told him he would be featured THIS WEEK and I figured we were good. That morning I texted him from work, reminding him of this. But then he texted me back saying he no longer wanted to.ContinueContinue reading “What I Wore Wednesday”

Ruffled sleeves and other matters.

First of all: it needs to be known that I have worn the same sweater five days this week. Colleen gave it to me on Saturday, and I have worn it unabashedly. Amen. Also! GUYS IT’S FINALLY GETTING WARMER. Spring things everywhere! Flowers! Warm weather! Because of the wonder of Spring lured us out-of-doors, IContinueContinue reading “Ruffled sleeves and other matters.”

What I BOUGHT Wednesday

HEY Guuuuuuuuuys! I went to a church rummage sale today. The church is on the fancy side o’ town with all the top name brands and what not making and appearance, so I made my way out there. I’ve been going to this church rummage sale since I was a kid, and I thought itContinueContinue reading “What I BOUGHT Wednesday”
