How to stand out in a world of kitsch…




First things first, expect great news either this Friday or over the weekend regarding a certain epic sweater project. Ended up going with two-at-a-time knit on two needles to save time. Setting in the sleeves as we speak, and this time you’ll get photographic proof. Hard to update a blog when your hands are full of increasingly expansive sweaters.

I also am brainstorming on what kind of items I want to sell in an online shop. Probably going to go with Etsy but I know there are different options. If you’ve got any suggestions, let me know! Definitely going to start with woven bags, not sure what my price range is going to be, yet.

On a side note, the LED powered light (not my idea, was there when I moved in) in my kitchen has been flickering for weeks, now. After messing with it, hitting it with the broom, smudging it with sage (why not, couldn’t hurt), I ended up ordering a new one with actual proper light bulbs that can be changed came in today. Only had a half hour of daylight to work with and ended up standing in the dark, itchy from fiberglass insulation, and grumpy. I am bound and determined to do this myself, so it will be a weekend project so I’ll have more daylight to work with. I am woman, hear me roar! And curse. And itch. And be singularly stubborn.
