I’ve been OBSESSED with sudoku lately and decided I wanted to try creating my own book of puzzles. Gave it a shot and voila! My first published masterpiece! Here is my Amazon affiliate link if you want a copy (and to support me in my new hobby): https://amzn.to/3KkN058
Handmade Bookmarks!
Now that the holidays have passed and most people are no longer buying ornaments, I’ve decided to try my hand at a new form of stress relief. Bookmarks! I have an obscene amount of felt in my crafting stash and it’s a fun material to work with. Between that and my love for my magnetic…
Spice Challenge – Results!
Much like the rest of 2020, my Spice Challenge didn’t go quite as planned. Rather than creating culinary masterpieces (or at least something resembling food) using the 6 designated spices by the end of fall, I managed to use 3: cardamom, licorice salt, and galangal.

Just a girl and her furbabies
Hello again! This post isn’t quite as timely as I was originally aiming for but it beats the 6+ months of the last one, so I’m considering it a win. Gotta cut yourself some slack right now with the global pandemic and all. At least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Speaking of…
Mindless Meandering
My goal of writing more this year has failed miserably. I’d like to blame it on the chaos that is the world right now but honestly, I was slacking way before COVID-19 reared its ugly head. Is it just me or has the pandemic done weird things to your motivation and productivity? It’s been a…
