I can’t stop learning new crafts, guys. Seriously, if this blog turns into a weekly log of my latest craft attempts, know that you’ve been warned. Over the last year, I’ve tried my hand at a variety of artistic-related endeavors, ranging from jewelry making to wax seal stamping to embroidery. It seems every couple of […]
“I think I’ve worn this sweater three times this week already.” If you haven’t asked yourself some variation of this question over the last year, good to you. But also, like, how?!
