Alright... I admit it.

Fine. I'm obsessed, ok? I love my crock pot.

Why do I have this obsession do you ask? Do you mean you don't have one and thus do not know of the beauty of crock pot cooking?! Let me explain!
You can throw everything in with a prep time of maybe 20 minutes, walk away for four hours or all day, and magically have a meal that does not heat up the entire house/apartment. Why I did not start cooking with one of these things a long time ago is beyond me.  Tonight I'll be trying a new chicken recipe, courtesy of Hillbilly Housewife.

Those who know me best also know I'm obsessed with two other things: my pets (a.k.a. my kids) and nail polish. I'm sure you've at least guessed at the obsession of my dog, Patty, as she overwhelmingly is the subject of my Instagram feed. Since she's my service dog and goes with me everywhere, we are amazingly close. Then there's my new addition, Tucker, a black and white, hooded dumbo rat. He's a sweetie and loves to play and use me or The Boy as a jungle gym. Pictures to come of him if I can ever get him to sit still long enough.

The nail polish obsession is a bit of a conflict of interest. Some days it intereferes greatly with the crafting. Do I paint my nails or work on a new project? Or are they dry enough that I can do some embroidery? Ahh such is life. Sometimes I wish this was the extent of the seriousness of problems that I encounter, alas it is not so. Oh well.

Now that you know some of my obsessions? What are some of yours?

I'm back!

After focusing solely on school (and nearly driving myself crazy in the process) I'm back and trying to take time to enjoy the things I love. Trying to enjoy the simpler pleasures in life: drinking coffee slowly in the mornings, knitting while watching a favorite show, evening walks with my dog and my guy. I have begun my re-entry into the crafting world by knitting a simple baby cardigan for a friend of a friend. The pattern I'm working on is the Basic Baby Cardigan by Alana Dakos. It's a really lovely pattern to work, and easy enough to make while catching up on my shows.

Speaking of my shows... I've become addicted to Reign.  I have always loved the history of various royal families,  as well as historical fiction regarding them. While the show does not follow history hardly at all, it is a fun show to watch! What do you love to watch while you craft? Or do you prefer music? Perhaps nothing at all? Sound off in the comments below!
