The first month of 2014 has been a cold one. It’s been blustery and snowy and dark and I am ready for a beach vacation. But when is that not the case. I’ve passed the time by bundling up, reading, and scrapbooking, apparently. The top viewed posts from January were: superhero, supervillain, superself–a look atContinue reading “end of the month review: january”

project life: october/november
I was lucky enough to get two–TWO–project life kits for Christmas: the midnight edition and the honey edition. And it has made catching up on Project LIfe so much fun. I’m working on the end of the year and doing roughly a month or event per spread. Obvs, the birth of my adorable niece willContinue reading “project life: october/november”
decorating inspiration
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about reimagining my space. I love my apartment, but change is good and always fun to daydream about. When I was looking at inspiration this weekend on Polyvore, I focused on pushing my style a little bit and trying something new. I may not want to live with theseContinue reading “decorating inspiration”
new outfit: blizzard
Polar Vortex II has kept me in Chicago for a few days longer than I expected. Luckily, I have access to a washer and dryer, so at least my reused outfits will be clean. But the same clothes every day can get a little boring sometimes. To stay warm in the frigid air, I piledContinue reading “new outfit: blizzard”
superhero, supervillain, superself–a look at NOS4A2
I’m about three-quarters of the way into Joe Hill’s NOS4A2 (Kindle here). I picked it up when I was waiting forever at a doctor’s appointment and realized I had it already on my Kindle. Usually I’m too nervous to focus on anything longer than a tweet at the doctor’s–even just for a regular check up, whichContinue reading “superhero, supervillain, superself–a look at NOS4A2”
goldie the gargoyle (embroidery no. 17)
It kills me when adorable things show up in comic books. Here I am, reading about a nightmare/King of Dreams/contract killers/reimagined biblical characters and WHAM, something cute drops in the frame. I’ve been reading through The Sandman–the first issue is just a little younger than I am–and though it took me 25 years to catchContinue reading “goldie the gargoyle (embroidery no. 17)”
closet clean out
I want a lion the witch and the wardrobe closet. I want to open it and go to a new land where all my outfits are fit for a queen (or Princess Kate) and I have more handbags than a Kardashian sister. I want a Clueless closet that lets me browse for my white collarlessContinue reading “closet clean out”
2014 goals
Because resolutions seem so, well, resolute, I’m giving myself some wiggle room with regular (and adaptable) goals for this year. Last year I did the same. I accomplished some and abandoned others, but it was good to have some guidelines to help focus my year. (#fatcat resolves to nap more and harder.) This year, I’dContinue reading “2014 goals”
snapshots: happy new year
I’ve been traveling with friends and family this week and I can’t think of a better way to welcome the new year. Obviously the best part was meeting my niece, but eating our way through Columbia, Mo., and toasting at midnight with some of my favorite people was also fantastic. Hope the new year isContinue reading “snapshots: happy new year”
