Welcome to my blog! These pages are about my adventures
in knitting and teaching.
Creating Community
One Stitch at a Time
When you work at home it is really really easy to get distracted and procrastinate. Especially with the computer in front of you and all your pretty crafty things beside you. At the moment I am so consumed with this whole planner thing that I am pretty focused. Everything I am doing has something to do with planners, tracking, creating etc. But are the things I am doing actually taking "My Marvelous Life" a step forward?

All the pens I am loving and that are working in my Plumpapper Planner. I show you examples on how they write and rather they bleed through the paper of this planner.
My Favorite Planner and Knitting feeds this week on Instagram. This is some series eyecandy you don't want to miss!
I love washi tape. It is perfection on all levels. It comes in so many colors and patterns, it is not expensive and it adds beauty to everything and anything you add it to.
Don't let it's beauty fool you, it is also a workhorse. I am always using it to fix my mistakes in every evolving ways.
I have finished the April "Listers Gotta List" Challenge by Cori aka: "The ResetGirl". What am I talking about? I blogged some about what online challenges are here. This particular challenge was born from Cori's youtube videos on how she was decorating her "30 lists" challenge for March. The videos generated so much interest she decided to start a list challenge of her own and boy did that create a buzz. I jumped onto the bandwagon and started my first "scrapbook-ish" kind of thing ever.
When I found the planner community on Instagram I was immediately hooked. What really drew me back to using a paper planner was adding stickers, stamps, washi and color ink to make each week beautiful. As the weeks have gone on I have noticed that some ladies have amazing hand writing and lettering skills. It adds so much to their planners that I have decided to improve my handwriting and lettering.
Can there be such thing as "too much" planner goodness? I would say "NEVER".
I have been to target more in the last month then all of last year. But here is the funny part, I don't get beyond the $1 spot and the stationary section. That is really funny when you think of it. Same with Michaels and Joann's.
I have only been part of the planner community since the beginning of the year and it has changed my life. I can not believe how much paper, glue, stickers and planner inserts have taken over everything. I think about it all the time. I can't wait to get things done so I can go into my magic room and create.
