Trend: Kimonos
Remember my friend Liz, the one who made the cute Halloween witch a few weeks ago? She asked me to do a blog post on Kimonos! Since fall is unmistakably here (for everyone but Houstonians – it’s 82 degrees here […]
Knitting beverages
I love knitting. This is probably apparent due to, you know, the whole blog thing. But there’s nothing better to me than sitting in a great comfortable chair, with a warm glass of sweetened herbal tea. There’s something so simple […]
