Vehicles, Tattoos, and Pets
An unlimited budget, huh? This is kind of like those questions about what you would do if you won the lottery. These answers have to be a little more creative since there’s only 24 hours. Can’t get contractors and repair men out to make all the renovations and upgrades to our house that are needed… →

Fun and Whimsy
BONUS Screenshot I saved this screenshot on this day last year. Today especially, I feel like 13 year old me would look at what I did today and be in total awe that I am who she will grow up to be. And that’s because I got another tattoo today. It has been almost a… →

“What’s on your needles?”
5Ws Wednesday This is a common question that knitters get asked. It just means, what knitting project are you working on right now? OTN is a popular abbreviation when putting into words what you’re working on. You might say, “I have a short-sleeved sweater OTN”. However, this doesn’t really work if you’re talking about a… →

From Pettiness to Words and Everything in Between
You know, the me 5 years ago would probably have a very different answer to this question. Back then, I probably would have said I’m good at: And while I’m still good at all of those things…except running, I’ve fallen off with that, but give me time, I can get good again…I have a more… →

Comfortable in My Own Skin
What are your two favorite things to wear? I must have not answered this question last year. If I had answered it, I guarantee my answer would be different this year. My first immediate thought, is that my tattoos are my absolute favorite thing to wear. I’ve been on a tattoo binger this year, which… →
