These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
I am so close to finishing another pattern. I just want to knit one more sample for photos! It doesn't help that I just started playing World of Warcraft again - which is the world's biggest time suck. So, I figured I'd pop in and share some of my favorite things!

Well, it officially came and left. The first day of No Spend November. I just wanted to pop in and give an update on the challenge. I intended to post a couple days beforehand with some things I had done to prepare (yes, prepare!), but well, life. I love fancy coffees. My Instagram is full of coffee… Continue reading No Spend November – It Begins
No Spend November
It's time to take the plunge. Well, it will be in about a week and a half anyways! At least, it is time to put it out there that I am committing! I have decided, for the month of November, not to spend any money on anything that is absolutely not essential. With the holidays… Continue reading No Spend November
