Come say hi to the fabulous chicas sponsoring my blog here in February! This is a fun group of ladies, and you should certainly check out their blogs and shops, and chat them up on Twitter.

Hey darlings! Everyone around the web knows me as Pocky, the craft-obsessed girl that loves video games & tries to find a way to get away from the ‘zombie job’.

My favorite pair of comfy sweat pants & any of my husband’s hoodies…plus a warm & cozy blanket wrapped around me like a caterpillar in a cocoon. Of course we’ve been getting some warm winter weather recently, so I’ve had to shed my cocoon the past few weeks.

Desirous of Everything
Blog | Twitter | Facebook

Hi! My name is Sarah O’Holla and I blog over at Desirous of Everything where I write about my life as a young adult writer, school librarian and creative person who just so happens to wear jumpsuits on Fridays. My husband often calls me Soholla and my friends call me Soholls. I believe that everyone has their own story to tell. Please stop by and say hello, I’d love to hear your story!

What’s a crafty skill that you want to learn but haven’t yet?
I’m just not a crafty person, I’m more of a patron of the crafts. So my crafty skill would be to keep supporting independent crafters through etsy and local flea markets and craft fairs!
What’s your comfort I’m-not-leaving-the-house-today outfit consist of?
T-shirt, jeans, glasses and slippers (not to be confused with glass slippers.) And most likely a big cozy cardigan. If it’s summer though, big flowy sundress all the way. Also, sometimes I like to wear my fascinator around the house just for the heck of it.
Favorite movie from childhood:
I’m going to have to name four- Annie, The Neverending Story, Return to Oz and Little Women.

Edge
Blog | Twitter

I’m Taryn Blake, an event planner and writer from the East Coast. I spend my days helping couples plan fabulous weddings and events and I spend my nights blogging about all the things in life that catch my eye. I’m a collector of tattoos, a lover of some good rock & roll tunes, always up for trying new wine, and I get sucked into reality tv a little too often. I invite you to come visit me on Edge – we have a lot of fun over there.

What’s a crafty skill that you want to learn but haven’t yet?
I have zero natural DIY or craft skills. That said, I’d really like to learn how to tackle more house projects – specifically tiling my bathroom floor!
What’s your comfort I’m-not-leaving-the-house-today outfit consist of?
If I actually make it out of my pajamas it would be black yoga pants, a pair of chuck taylors, an off the shoulder sweatshirt, and my knit hat to keep my crazy hair out of my face!
Favorite movie from childhood:
I loved Disney movies as a kid! My favorite would probably be The Little Mermaid – and I still know all the words to the songs!
