I guess making mooncakes is now a yearly tradition for me. 🙂 This year I was extra inspired when I saw ceramic artist @stephaniehshih post an instagram story featuring @wingonwoandco‘s mid-autumn sale. Wing On Wo & Co 永安和 is a porcelain store in New York City’s Chinatown with a lovely modernized take on photographing their…
About a week and a half ago, someone on Twitter posted this: I wasn’t really active on Twitter to see it happen in real time, but from what I could see afterward, there was instant criticism of the tweet (and for good reason). It represents a very stereotypical/one-note view of what a “good” coder is….
I recently ordered some faux flowers to turn our normally spring/summer felt floral arrangement into a more fall-themed one (I only kept the yellow and pink ones in): I ended up with a good amount of flowers leftover after adding to the arrangment, which I was hoping for because I wanted to also arrangement, some…
Aside from the faerie costume and a test ogden cami dress I made recently, I haven’t really sewn for fun for the better part of a year. I learned about the instagram challenge/account @sewvintageseptember through a post by Martha Moore Porter on instagram (her creations and attitude toward sewing are so inspiring by the way)….
Yesterday I challenged myself to create and shoot a faerie costume before sundown. I started at 3pm with a dress I got a few years ago from Michelle, and took the final photos in our courtyard before sundown at 7:30pm. Before this weekend, I hadn’t sewn since February when I altered my wedding dress. This…

These bookends are the first “finished” thing I’ve created with our new Glowforge. I started out with the Harry Potter book nook, but quickly realized that it was going to be a super long-term project, considering how detailed it is and how bad. I was craving an easy, quick project that I could look at…
I went down a bit of a rabbit hole of embroidery yesterday. I’m pretty sure my wedding dress will have embroidered applique flowers on it, and I started wondering whether making the appliques myself would be a better option than purchasing them – buying them online might mean they aren’t quite the right color, and…
This weekend the jacket I preordered from Bubble Sort Zines arrived! ♡ It’s designed by @sailorhg and is just as cute and comfy as her Git It Girls jacket. Can’t wait to wear it to the SCALE and RSA conferences! âš¡
I was pretty set on meal prepping something with caprese salad ingredients along with asparagus, and I found this recipe from a quick google search. I was pretty loose on ingredient amounts aside from the dressing. It’s worth noting that the dressing recipe yields the 6 servings the recipe says it does (or more, since…
