Little Lessons on a Tuesday

by Kate Franco on March 8, 2011 · 8 comments

Chunky jewelry is expensive and it makes me sad because one of the learnings from this round of remixing is that I need new jewelry. BUT, I am absolutely OBSESSED with this tutorial.
I finally broke my dry spell! I started crafting again! I’m knitting a little ear warmer/turban/headband deal that I’m pretty excited about. Not thrilled about the yarn…but I figure this first one is a trial run. Get it all figured out and such and then make something darling. {Update: I spent $50 on assorted yarn from Purl Soho last night. Woops.}
Blended peach bellinis are where it’s at.
I really like the show My Life as Liz. Yes, I realize it’s made for kids/teens. But she kind of reminds me of a real life Daria.
To all the mean girls out there: Good luck. Also known as: Haters to the left.
It’s amazing how hanging out with like-minded people can be so energizing! It’s awesome to just be able to bounce ideas off someone ALL. THE. TIME. At the most random times. What an inspired life I could lead!
In the last couple of weeks I’ve developed this terrifying habit of turning off my alarm in my sleep.
Sometimes working in PaloÂ Alto is like working in a foreign country. Honestly.
Boys: Running shoes are for running. Please don’t wear them on a date. Further advice forthcoming.
This project on gratitude makes me really happy.

Running shoes are never acceptable on anyone unless they are running…just sayin.

I have seen that tutorial, too, and thought that looked really cute. I also came across this one recently and thought it would be another truly do-able DIY. Maybe you’ll think the same.
