How cafes in Greece are helping out the homeless dogs in their neighbourhoods.

Let’s hear it for a messy Instagram feed– not everything needs to be perfectly curated.

5 questions to ask yourself on New Year’s Day… or any day, really.

I love Xandy’s 5 New Years Resolutions for knitters. Even though I don’t actually do New Year’s resolutions, I respect wise knitterly advice!

My Favourite Pins This Week

I’m a fan of baking on New Year’s Day, and this caramelized onion and Gruyere tart is just what I want to eat! If you haven’t made a savory pie or tart before, it’s super easy. This recipe is definitely on the easy side of the recipe spectrum. Pinterest link is here, and the original post is here.

Homemade Mint Milano cookies. Heck yeah. I don’t even need to say anything else! Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe post is here.

This whimsical DIY pin cushion totally tickles my fancy. And wouldn’t it be awesome on a sheep? I have a plastic sheep figurine, I’d love to do this. Pinterest link is here,  and the original post is here.

 This technique is for those with shoulder length hair or longer, but saves you time in the morning. I actually do a variation of this every single night, but just one bun on the top of my head. I like the effect on my hair, and I also don’t like sleeping with my hair down (it sticks to my moisturizer). Pinterest link is here, original post is here.

I’m crazy in love with this Lisa Congdon wallpaper (and it’s removable! It comes in sheets like contact paper!), and I love how it’s used here as a little accent section with that great rich blue wall. Pinterest link is here, and the original link is here.
