Book Review: The Glass Castle

SAD! Seriously... that's what this book is. And unfortunately it is a memoir! BLAH! She is an amazing woman, but her parents make you want to hug yours tight and tell them how amazing they were with you growing up. Imagine moving place to place on a whim. Imagine not having indoor plumbing and peeing in a bucket in your kitchen. Imagine having only 4 dresses to your name. Imagine loosing respect for your parents. Imagine watching your parents become squatters while you became a newspaper editor. This lady went through all of this and more. You just get so frustrated listening to what they would do next. It was a real eye opener and I encourage you to read it if you want a reminder to be thankful for what you have and what you have went through. The most surprising part of her whole journey is she writes without a shred of bitterness. I must say she might just be a better human being than I am.

Craft: Buttons

This isn't so much of a craft as a possibility. My Grandmother recently passed away and I inherited her buttons. She had a container filled with buttons that I'm sure she's had for at least 20 years. I have NO idea what I will do with these, but I just straight up love looking at them!

Musings: Spring

It's been 21 days since the first day of Spring, but it finally kinda hit me today. I think it was the sunshine, the lack of jacket needed (only a sweater) and the fact that the forecast finally has the 7 day outlook sans snowflakes. So I picked up a giant daisy at the craft store and have been wearing it around the house like a goofy goof. But I've got the spring jitter and I don't care! La primavera está aquí!

March Instagram Challenge

I did it again. Not as dedicated as the month before, but I'm really learning that if you try the banal of the day can seem magical!

Craft: Pincushion

So I whipped up another super easy pincushion using a really cute ceramic bowl I had leftover when the candle inside was all gone. I just stuffed it with fluff, cut a circle in fabric the same diameter as the opening, and hot glued the fabric to the opening. Now it is another really cute pincushion to make sure Sofia doesn't bat around my pins while I'm sewing!

Book Review: The Hunger Games

I know what your thinking... what hype! I would say though that this is the first craze i'm gonna jump into with both feet. All this girl's gonna say is:
