Craft Motivation Level: Low
/
I'm having trouble staying motivated on my current crochet project since it's taking so long (hence the lack of a post last week), so I'm sharing something neat I bought this week instead.

My First Stitch Fix
/
Well, here's a post I never expected to show up on this blog (because I'm fashion challenged most of the time). All the Stitch Fix referral links in my Facebook feed finally got my attention a few weeks ago. I did some research and discovered it was an online personal stylist service. The idea is that for a $20 "styling fee" you receive five clothing/accessory items based on a style profile you fill out on the Stitch Fix site. You then try on all the items at home where you're free to mix and match with other pieces already in your closet. You decide what to keep and what to send back. Your $20 styling fee is applied to any items you decide to purchase and if you keep the whole box you receive a 25% discount. If you keep nothing, you lose the $20 styling fee. My wardrobe is severely lacking, so I decided a potential loss of $20 if I liked nothing was worth it to sign up and try out this service.

After I finished up the rainbow unicorn last weekend, I started on this double layer braided cowl pattern by CrochetDreamz that is getting a lot of attention on Ravelry. I was really excited about it since the main picture looked pretty neat. It wasn't too difficult to work up until I accidentally put the two braids together backwards and had to cut everything apart and redo it. D'oh.

Back in 2014, Mom asked HK and I to collaborate on something that she could put in the Silent Auction at St. B's. HK and I brainstormed and in the process found a ton of adorable amigurumi. One of them was the My Little Pony Rarity pattern by Rachel Hoe.

I used to do nail art quite frequently, but stopped when I got fed up with my designs chipping after just a few days. My recent discovery of shellac inspired me to take up this hobby again, so I bought all the necessary items and set out on a diy adventure.

This is my first post about keto since 2014. I haven't given it up, but haven't been very strict about it since the wedding either. We've been on and off multiple times due to birthdays and holidays. Well, we started it back up on January 4th and are beginning to see a bit of progress. In honor of this, I wanted to share an easy chicken dip recipe (complete with terrible cell phone pictures).
