We are changing things up a little bit for SL 2018 and bringing on co-hosts! This week’s featured host is Rachel from Glitter & Engine Grease. Rachel is super sweet and has the CUTEST little man. (You’ll probably want to eat him up as soon as you see him!) Go say hello!
Sunday Lately is a weekly linkup hosted by the Blogger Tribe, which is fearlessly led by Angelica (Gardening in High Heels) and myself. We e-hangout every Sunday, sharing a small glimpse into the past week of life in our own worlds. We’d love if you could join us!
This week’s themes: Redoing, Altering, Borrowing.
Redoing. My expectations of myself. It’s hard because I’d like to think that I can get everything done…but this second job element is really taking it out of me. I am at the point where I need to make a decision and I don’t know that I’m ready to.
Altering. Some of my wardrobe to be a little more office friendly. (Are you seeing a trend of what is consuming my thoughts right now? Haha.) I haven’t worked in an office setting in over three years and I don’t have clothes for it anymore. Three years ago is about when I threw out all of my storebought items and started sewing my own wardrobe. Which, from what you’ve seen, is loud and graphic and not totally office-ready. But that’s because I didn’t need it to be, I was working from home. So now I’m scrambling to find something that’s okay to wear. I think I need a few more cardigans / layering pieces. And possibly a blazer. And some non-tshirt type tops. Sounds like I need to go through my fabric stash and slowly chip away at it.
Borrowing. This quote from Mindy Kaling. Because seriously 2018. You’re killing me a little bit and we’re only 14 days in. I’m ready for this transition period to be over, and I can handle it with grace and me not falling asleep at 8:30 on a Friday due to pure exhaustion.
Disclosure: As always, you’ll find some affiliate links scattered within my post, which means I receive a small amount of compensation if you end up purchasing something I’ve recommended. Keep in mind that I link these companies and their products because of their quality and not because of the commission I receive from your purchases. The decision is yours, and whether or not you decide to buy something is completely up to you. Purchasing from my links does not alter the pricing in any way for you, it simply helps feed my sewing, creating and blogging habits. Thank you for your support!
Hi Katy! Thank you so much for that nice introduction! I LOVED Mindy in the Mindy Project and was so sad to see the show end. I think I may have to post that quote somewhere in my house! 🙂
I have not worked in an office in almost 6 years. It would be tough to change it up. I am sure you will do amazing! I look forward to seeing your new “office makes”
Every once in a while, I have an inkling to go back through all of my digital cut files that I used to sell, and offer them up on my blog. Which is exactly what I'm doing here! It is COLD outside, y'all. I've only said "I'm cold" about a thousand times in the last...
"You? Unnecessary but wildly creative thing? No." That's the response I received from one of my friends when I told her I was creating the cut files for even more Lego Star Wars Christmas sweaters. And honestly, "unnecessary but wildly creative" is a delightful way to...
Pretty much DAYS after I'd created Poe Dameron's BB-8 sweater for myself, I made this Darth Vader Death Star sweater for myself...and then completely failed to share it with y'all. This was two full years ago, my friends. But it's never too late to rectify these...
AHHH! I'm super jazzed to tell you that I'm launching my first ever knitting machine pattern! SO FRICKEN EXCITED. I purchased a Sentro Knitting Machine back in January 2022 and since then my world has opened up in term of knitting. I'm well aware it's not the same...
I am unbelievably excited to share with y'all this FREE crochet pattern! It's been in the works since July, if you can believe it. I was creating a capsule wardrobe for my Scotland/Ireland trip and whipped up the candy colored granny square cardigan of my dreams...and...
If you love crocheting granny squares as much as I do, you've come to the right place. Because I LOOOOOOVE me some granny squares. And basically anything that requires a granny stitch. It's delightful to crochet, it's practically mindless, and you get to make lots of...
Over at , we've been doing a weekly Flash Friday...where an oldie-but-goodie pattern gets featured at a discount (for 24-hours only.) It's been so fun to give each of the patterns a little love,...
I am so stupid excited I can't even begin to explain it. It's only February and I've just officially released my 2nd + 3rd patterns of the year over at . (I believe this makes my 12th + 13th...
I’m loving that quote right now. I guess I need to bust out the lip gloss.
