In the continuing spirit of making something for someone else, this week we’re going to spend some time working on snail mail. I have one friend who I sometimes write to in real cards and letters (hi, Jamie!) and I haven’t sent him anything in a while so I thought it would be fun to […]
The Classic End to Summer: The Washington County Fair {Plus Giveaway!}
I have been compensated for this post, but all opinions are my own. #MyWCF15 Being a 4-H girl (who lived in a larger town and didn’t even have pets growing up, let alone farm animals) I have a lot of memories that involve the Washington County Fair. To me, it always represented the end of […]

Notes from the Road – Yarn Harlot Edition
I had such an amazing fun weekend at Mount Magazine with 18 other knitters and the Yarn Harlot, aka Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.
