I’ve been doing a lot of writing for other people lately, so I thought I’d share a couple of other projects of mine that you can find elsewhere on the web. I completely love the Heartfelt Robot, which is a simple knitting pattern embellished with a little heart for Valentine’s Day. But it’s a cute […]
Slightly Early Spring Cleaning for Blogs
I feel like this blog has come a really long way in the past year. In December of 2011, I published just seven posts. I was starting to try to take it more seriously then, but I got more into it with the turn of the year and published 17 posts in January 2012. (Still […]

The Best of 2012
It seems like everyone has been posting their best ofs in the past few days, and I thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of my most popular posts, too. None of the favorites surprised me, because they’ve been consistently popular and are the sorts of articles you’d expect to […]
