I originally started this blog to document my exploration into new career options. None of that has moved very far forward. I haven’t posted anything on this site in ages, and I am still in the same stressful job…

But I do need to fill my life with things that make me happy, and things that make me happy are sewing, crochet, banging my drums, being obsessed with style and fashion, singing, and of course, writing. So here I am. I thought I would use my blog to document some of my favorite things instead of the daunting task of trying to figure out what the heck I want to be when I grow up.

So in the spirit of rebirth (or just birth, I guess), here is a photo of my latest project, a baby blanket for the soon-to-come-into-the-world daughter of my friend Michelle.

I love this fabric. Michelle’s style is more sophisticated, and the flower pattern on this is so perfect. It’s pretty and sophisticated but not obviously babyish. These cozy, cotton flannel blankets are so sweet and functional and they make great, quick and easy gifts. I love giving handmade things to people because I love getting handmade things from people. I think it is so much more thoughtful to make a beautiful, personal gift for someone.
