    I love your list! It is such a nice mix of big and small, practical and just for fun. I hope you have a wonderful year, and I just might steal some of these goals for myself. I love the way the list shows me why we are friends.

    Happy birthday!

A Good Week

Hi there, I'm Kate! I love yarn, photography, books, and a good cup of coffee. I blog like it's 2007. I write a lot about knitting, Netflix, and any other nonsense that strikes my fancy. Sometimes I get ranty. Welcome to my little corner of the internet!
