my aunt has an iPhone but isn’t comfortable texting (she’s in her late 60s and just isn’t very techy lol) but every so often she’ll send me cute little photos of trinkets and I just just got this absolute gem lol

if you haven’t already you should try using hoopla!! Depending on your library system you get a certain number of borrows a month (p sure LAPL is 15) from their catalogue. They don’t have everything libby has but they make up for it by having no wait times, all available titles are instant borrows!

honeymoon fabric haul! all but one of these is thrifted 🥰

admittedly I went a lil (a lot) overboard but I’m justifying it bc you cant really find secondhand fabric in LA the way that you can in other states 😅

finished sewing up this cute little set to take with me to atlanta this weekend! it isn’t perfect but I am so so so happy with it 🥰 also it is made from a thrifted bedsheet so this whole set cost me $5.99 and I still have plenty of leftover fabric to spare!!

browsing eBay for vintage sheets to use for sewing and I just had the biggest brain blast back to my childhood bc my auntie 100% had these sheets. no idea wtf I’ll make out of them but they’re an absolute nostalgia need 🥲🥹

time to get off instagram for a bit bc targeted ads are targeting the modern grandma-core part of my brain and I am becoming too weak to resist the pull!!!!!

finished my first book of the year and didn’t love it, tbh! crossing my fingers that my 2025 reading will be all up from here 🥴

already posted this on insta but wanted to share here as well!

trying to set myself some gentle goals for 2025 bc while I loved a lot about 2024, I really didn’t show up for myself as much as I know I could have. Here’s hoping 2025 will be that bitch 🤞🏼
