Just two girls and our efforts to be creative and get by.
No one is surprised when I say life is unpredictable, wild, overwhelming, and magical. I didn’t start this blog thinking it would be a place for anything other than DIY. As this develops I see the value in using this platform to talk about the issues that occur in my life. I think there is power in sharing our thoughts and experiences. Difficult parts of life can leave us feeling isolated and alone. This category is to push me to share and remind myself that I am not alone. Not to be too serious I also wanted a space to talk a bit more. I have a lot of things on my mind pretty much all the time. I don’t promise to be eloquent or the most informed person writing blog posts on this topic. Hope you enjoy reading about my thoughts.

I love Halloween more than almost anything in life. It is what I look forward to once summer ends and the thought of it keeps my spirits up through the grossness of Vancouver fall. Here is the catch I don’t like being scared… well I …
It really takes very little to send me down a rabbit hole of randomness. Very, very little. For instance scrolling Instagram I saw a random meme about the Icelandic translation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. But honestly, you must agree that with even that tidbit of …
I’m realizing I might have a little obsession with jewellery. There is something beautiful about looking back throughout history and seeing people create gorgeous things. Maybe this is giving jewellery too much credit. However, I like the idea that alongside building tools and practical items …
I won’t front with you I have accomplished nothing this month. The good news is that things can only get better from here. -Hannah
Well, some truly awful things have happened in the world and I am really scared for women and I am really angry at what’s happening down in the USA. I wrote this post before that happened. It feels frivolous to post this with what’s happening …
I’ve been having a rough go of things recently. Even in the middle of this not so great time I can appreciate that I am handling things much better than I would have in the past. Thank you therapy, don’t know where I would be …
