Thoughts: Authenticity and Vulnerability
I had an incredible conversation with a friend a couple weeks ago about wanting to be more vulnerable on social media and on this blog but fearing it at the same time. In my life and with my friends, I am completely authentic and vulnerable and know that I’ve surrounded myself with amazing people who […]

Handmade: Granny Squares
Although I don’t often crochet anymore as I prefer to knit most things, there are occasions where I pull out my crochet hooks and dig into a quick project such as a small basket or a cat bed. 🙂 My dear friend contacted me last week and asked if I had ever made granny squares. […]

Poetry: Deepest Wound
I have been feeling some physical symptoms come up in my body the last few days which is not unusual surrounding the anniversary of my dad’s death. Tomorrow will be four years since his passing from stage four pancreatic cancer. My dad was one of the strongest people I knew and I felt like he […]

Thoughts: Creativity and Labels
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about creativity and my purpose in life and how my creativity fits into that purpose.

Sewing: How I got into historical clothing- Part three
A big piece of my style for most of my life is to incorporate menswear into my wardrobe as I find the structure creates visual interest and balances the energy of my feminine curves. I found myself really loving how the costume designer for Outlander would put the main character, Claire, in some menswear of […]

Poetry: Animal
I don’t know if it’s the Full Moon that just passed or if it’s the Spring Equinox or just surfacing grief, but I’ve been having quite a few feels bubbling up lately. Yesterday and today have been extra feely and as I was journaling, a poem came to mind so I was able to get […]

Currently: Listening to Aurora
In the last week I keep finding myself searching out any live performance by Aurora, a quirky Nordic singer who has a magical voice and incredible energy. I’ve been a fan for a few years now but for some reason, her music–her voice in particular–is hitting me a little extra right now. Here are some […]
