Before we moved to Italy, I bought a bunch of patterns and fabric for making clothes. Most of them are still sitting on my shelf because I’m intimidated by them. I did make a skirt (which I decided is awful) and my Easter dress (which is wearable, but still fits kind of weird). And cotton… Continue reading Branching out
About a month ago, a fellow blogger friend nominated me for a Liebster award. I had already decided not to do “award posts” because I find them… stressful? Cumbersome?

Our entire dating relationship was long distance, me being in Idaho and Tim in New York, Connecticut, and Washington state. So traveling was always special to us because it… Continue reading 9 years
