Caitlin's Closet: Month 2

Here is month 2 of my clothing challenge. If you have read about my challenge yet, you can check out the introduction here and month 1 here.

Cookbook Challenge

For the past couple months I have been cooking my way through the newest SkinnyTaste cookbook "SkinnyTaste: Fast and Slow". I kind of made up my own challenge to make every recipe in the entire book. I thought it would be cool to check in along the way and update you guys on how it is going.

Caitlin's Closet: Month 1

I am finally getting around to writing this update post on my new series Caitlin's Closet. I know you all have been waiting on the edge of your seat. If you haven't read my original post, please go check it out to understand the context around this update.

I really didn't mean to put if off for so long. I was originally planning on doing an update post every 10 days or so. But, you know, life happens. And, I think it worked out for the best having the month summed up into one post.

Caitlin's Closet

Welcome to the new series on my blog!

The Challenge
Wear every item of clothing I own in one year.
If I do not wear it, I can throw it away, donate it, or make it into something I will use.

Most Popular State in 2016 Goes to....

So I am one of those rare breeds (and no, I'm not talking about being a ginger). I enjoy being creative, but I also enjoy order amongst the chaos (even though my giant laundry pile would say otherwise). Some people refer to this as being both left-and-right-brained.  I tallied up a bunch of facts about my orders. I do this in hopes to recognize trends within my products, and how I can take that knowledge to become a better seller to my customers.

My New Year Started In February

On January 1st, I was getting so jealous of everyone's posts about their resolutions and goals for the new year. I was still buried in etsy orders from the holiday season for the entire month of January. As of last week, I am DONE with holiday orders. I am very excited to talk about my super fun plans for 2017. But, before we do that, let's review the highlights of 2016.

"What Do You Do While You Sew?"

Hello Friends!

Something a little different on the blog today. No DIY or Etsy stuff.

One of my most asked "etsy questions" (which could be whole a post in it self) is "Wow, you hand embroider those. That must take a long time. What do you do while you are sewing?"

There are 3 things I like to do while sewing:

• Listing to movie scores

• Watching light-hearted television

• Watching YouTube

Today, we are talking about YouTube. But let me know if in the future you would like to see a list of my favorite movie scores or tv shows. 

Let's just jump right in.
