I am so thrilled to share my latest craft project, nearly two years in the making! Ever since I married into baseball fandom (thank you Alex), I started bringing my own hobbies to the ballpark. For the entire 2022-2023 MLB season I was knitting the cutest little hexpuff quilt for my friend’s baby. After that…
It was only a year ago that I started playing mahjong with my friends, but it quickly became one of my favorite hobbies. We loved not only teaching various friends and playing the game itself (it’s actually quite simple to get started) but also collecting various mahjong sets. Alex and I found ourselves scouring vintage…
August, my friends! It was a very full month for us in the Bay, since we were actually around for the whole month, minus one road trip up to Davis, which I’ve still included in the Bay Area recap below. First, a little sewing project for some dear friends of mine! This was a pattern…
This was such a fun and involved project. Last spring, with a new baseball season upon us, I asked my paint club friends what kind of a project I might be able to do in the ballpark while watching a whole bunch of baseball games. They delivered! My friend Stephanie suggested knitting this awesome puff…
August recap! Wow, so much baseball. And a few outings with friends as well. Let’s get right into it! The Giants continue to be #1 in all of MLB! We continue to attend a bunch of their games. I never thought I’d actually like going to so much baseball, but it’s quite a fun experience…
I would say that July was the month we quickly rushed out into the world, before quietly being ushered back into our homes. We had been fully vaccinated for over a month already, and started expanding our social circles and reclaiming old things like indoor dining, photographing full weddings, and going maskless. But then with…
June! The month in which everything returned, all at once. We got to start the month with our first in-person Accountability meeting since the beginning of 2020! What an incredible feeling. We even got to hug people and meet Nicole’s puppy in real life. Such beautiful bounty from Stephanie’s garden. And Courtney and her baby…
May was a whole lot of shuttling back and forth between our two homes, in San Francisco and the South Bay. Plus, we completed our vaccines and worked our way to some sense of normalcy! First, bagels from Daily Driver. And a homemade tri tip sandwich, with tri tip that Alex smoked. At the house,…
Some time last year I discovered The Sketchbook Project, a global art project that invites people to purchase a sketchbook and returned it filled with their artwork for permanent exhibition in The Brooklyn Art Library. I jumped on board for Volume 14 of the project, then let my sketchbook sit blank for nearly a year…
