I’m a CEO by day and a Hobbit by night. A mom, a maker, and the way to my heart is a good story and a cup of tea. I am always looking for a good book and a cozy corner to curl up in.

One more practice test for this knitted slipper pattern and then I will be ready for testers! It’s the same ball of yarn… I kinda love it.🥰

I have a little too much time in my hands. I absolutely made this little video while packing an order for an Etsy customer.

This little beret is headed to Texas. I can send one to you too 😉

A little treat.

My Aunt and I have developed a tradition of going to the nail salon together and then out to lunch. Even though I dragged my feet, it is now one of my favorite activities. I went with My Little Pony purple this time.

I have SO many berets to list on Etsy. Gotta love hyper-fixation crafty time. Yay ADHD! Anyone want a hand knitted Beret?

I put on a full face for an interview and then went to Trader Joe’s in exercise clothes. I felt fancy, lol. Maybe all of the girls in make up and workout clothes in the grocery store are just coming from something fancier.

Okay, I’m LOVING this book! The style reminds me Stardust, and I’m obsessed.

Anyone else reading/read Tress by Brandon Sanderson?

Anyone else reading the Trials of the Sun Queen series? I need a book buddy. I am about a quarter through the third book.

#fantasybook #books #YA
The golden cover of the book "Trials of the sun queen" by Nisha J. Tuli. I wish I could explain all of the golden bullshit happening in the background, but it literally looks like canva exploded. Aka, I personally feel as though it is doing too much.
