Cold Weather and Little Crochet Projects
A few days of heavy rain last week and we finally found ourselves needing to turn on the space heater in our room at night. The cold has persisted and we've switched out the sheets on our bed for a
A Considered Wardrobe
Update: I've created a more in-depth post here, along with some printable templates, that explains how I choose items for my wardrobe. Can you be a supporter of the sustainable fashion movement but still buy fast fashion? I believe yes, but
