Ta-dah!

I finally completed one of my to-do projects today!

Using some fabulous new colors I got off on Knit Picks 

I made Lemur a set of coasters for her apartment.

I used a variety of different patterns so I pinned them all to my Pinterest crochet board for your enjoyment

Happy crocheting from a very snowy Virginia!

Cheers,

Cristyn

Where HAVE You Been!

That, my dear friends, is an excellent question.

I've been studying, studying a lot!

(Being an Anthropology/Middle Eastern studies double major is even harder than it sounds!)

I've been coughing and sleeping far to much

I've been thrifting

and drinking tea tea tea!

I've not been crocheting very much at all

(so I did this just to prove I still could!)

Though I've been playing with colors!

I've been packing for home

and waiting for Spring to finally arrive.

I've been planning adventures.

I've been applying for internships.

I've been watching the steady pace of my blog visitors rise!

And most importantly I've been sick and away and am glad to be back!

Cheers,
Cristyn 

Love Actually...

...A few things I actually do LOVE:

1- Colonial Williamsburg; it is one of my favorite places ever. I am not a world traveler (yet!), but I know that out of all the cities in the world CW will always hold a special place in my heart.

It is beautiful and quaint, and it is never hard to imagine myself sitting outside reading, writing, or crocheting with all the lovely colonials!

2- Grey; something about the color grey just encourages me to snuggle up and take a nap.

Some of my favorite sweaters are this color and if I am ever in doubt (whether picking out cloths or choosing yarn) light cozy grey is always my go to.

3- That being said, I adore bright pastel-ly colors in a room. They liven up a mood, create space, and make me feel happy.

4-Thrifting; I frequent Goodwill more than is truly healthy and the antique shop in my home town is to die for.

I adore vintage, pretty much vintage everything. 

Why buy it new when you can buy it old?

5- Coffee; as a college student it is a need, but for me that rich aroma and bracing taste is just as calming and relaxing as it is energizing

6- Haiti; if you have never been I will not push you to go. Visiting a third world country isn't for everyone, however if you ever do go I can guarantee you it will be a life changing experience.

As an anthropologist in the making the cultural codes were fascinating and in contrast with my own, 

but as a human being the people were bright and friendly and full of life despite the hardships you could see all around them.

7- Crocheting
