Things of Note:

I know the blog has kind of had minimal attention lately. The only thing I’ve been consistent with is this TTT series. I’m hoping to get back to more bookish stuff and shop stuff as I get more of the major items ticked off my wedding planning list. Between work, business coaching for work, wedding planning, and trying to actually spend time with my fiancé and have some sort of social life with friends, that hasn’t left a lot of room for anything else. I literally have not touched my craft table since 2015 started (my poor shop). I guess I just wanted to let all of you know that this is not a permanent state of affairs. I feel like the turning point back to normal is within reach. Thanks for sticking with me in the mean time.

What’s going on in your life lately?
