[Delicious preserves I grabbed on Monday... and we're halfway finished with]
[My attempt at making mittens before the end of Winter]
Did you know that I considered adding an Irish studies minor while I was an undergrad? It’s true, but sadly didn’t happen (although the trip to Ireland would’ve been amazing!). St. Patrick’s day is this weekend and I for one am excited. I’ve been looking at some fun ideas of food I can make to celebrate – going back and checking out some dessert ideas, like those St. Patrick’s Cake pops, and pinning away (both on my “Eat” and “Spring Things” boards). Ultimately, I think Joe and I are going to do a little bit of celebrating with my family (we’re part Irish) on Saturday and on Sunday have a full breakfast, drink some tea, and possibly check out a parade. Perfect if you ask me.
PS – With Google Reader ending, I’ve made a transition to HootSuite but you can also Follow my blog with Bloglovin :)

Those preserves look delicious! Tell me more about Hootsource! Is it a reader?
It’s sort of like a social media managing site so with just one log in, you can see everything. For example, you create different tabs for what you need – I have Twitter, my RSS feeds, Instagram, and wordpress.org. It’s not perfect but it make things very convenient!
oops Hootsuite :)
I love that brand of preserves :)
And I’m so pissed at Google right now. I should start looking at Hootsuite and BlogLovin. Have a nice weekend!
I’m not happy about it either, but I’m wondering if they’ve come up with something new and launch it after Google Reader goes away.
Love the clovers! I’m ready for things to start turning green again!
Have a great weekend! <3
where did you learn to knit? what stick is that?!? beautiful job!
I got my first ball of thread and hook during my freshman year of college but I picked up crocheting again last Winter. No real formal training, just lots of searching for different types of stitches (Lion Brand Yarn has a great tutorial section). For the mittens, I think I used a double stitch.
I love the mitten! what stitch is it?
Happy St. Patty’s Day! I hope you finish those mittens ASAP, lol.
One done, one to go – assuming I can recreate the first mitten!!
