We got our Christmas clear-out on this week (taking a brief window of opportunity when it arose, in an effort to not be that couple with their Christmas tree up …

A few weekends ago, my friend's mom thoughtfully gave me a 3D owl puzzle after recalling that I had an unspoken but very real liking for owls (like this little owl that …
Regardless of whether we were just obligated to make some New Year's Resolution pow-wow, I'm still trying to make small goals for myself each month (like I did in October …
Surely it was the alluring power of the shaggy bear that pushed me to have my first DIY rug project done in just under a month. Inspired by xoelle's tutorial, I …
