Tuesday Treasure Trove
- Comic series of the week: Too Real Designer Problems. LOVE it.
- The next set in my Storybook Romance wedding invitation series is up on my design blog.
- The 36 Days of Type challenge on Instagram is pretty epic and awesome, if you haven’t checked that out already.
- There is no quick fix for expertise. This x1000.
- A New Advocacy Group Is Lobbying for the Right to Repair Everything.
- Siri Now Capable of Discussing Sexual Assault Better Than Most Republican Candidates. Though to be fair, that’s not much of a challenge.
- Teaching Men to Be Emotionally Honest.
Things of Note:
It was a hectic last couple of days, so apologies for the scanter than usual list. But, still some good stuff up there!
Things that happened recently: first time mentoring, first time in a baby stuff store (for GIFTS, not myself), first time being solicited to speak to a group as a professional (which will be happening in JULY which is CRAZY). Plus cookery and work stuff and hanging with the hubs and pup. Oh, and updating my Etsy shops for the new layout and officially saying goodbye to all of the OOAK shirts that had been laying around. The screenprinting shop is solely a choose-your-size set up now, no more one-offs.
In other words, I’ve been busy. But it’s mostly been a good busy, so all’s well.
How was your weekend? Low-key or crazy full?

Book Review: Firefly Lane
Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah This book was not what I expected it to be. I initially picked it up for the cover, and read the book jacket blurb and thought ok, could be good for chic lit. And it is chic lit, in the sense that it's about women and women are probably...
What I Wore: Neutrals Party (Pinterest Challenge)
Brown and black together, what?! This is something I usually avoid, but I think if you get the right shade of brown it can work. And when I saw this outfit floating around on Pinterest, I loved it. Black AND brown AND grey AND white? Yes. All ze neutrals, I will vear...

March Pretties
Monthly jewelry round-up time! Etsy gets a lot of crap from outside the handmade community for allowing sellers that sell crap, and there certainly is some of that. But there are also so many true artisan crafters with quality products. It's part of why I do these...
Book Review: The Loose Lip Brigade
The Loose Lip Brigade by Julia Newman Don't be fooled by the chic-lit-sounding name; this book of short stories is the opposite of a fluff read, in a good way. The 7 stories included all revolve around characters struggling with and drowning in self-doubt, anxiety,...
Lucky Leprechaun Book & Polish Swap
Back in February, I signed up for the Lucky Leprechaun Book & Polish Swap. Because I like books and nail polishes, if you didn't know, and swaps are always a fun way to get new ones. 🙂 I was paired up with Lauren, we exchanged a few preferences, and here is what she...
