farewell february.

until next year.

i'd say it was a good month. [aside from being sick and having my dad in the hospital twice.] i did some thinking about my future, and even took some steps towards making things happen. there is still a lot up in there air, and i have some big decisions coming up, but i made some progress this february, which feels good.

i'm happy that we get to extend it by an extra day this year. i think there's just something inherently magical about the month of february, *especially* in a leap year. so happy leap day. :]

i realized today that a new sewing machine = excuse to buy a pincushion.
i know this doesn't seem like a big deal, but i think pincushions are seriously adorable. something so domestic and old fashioned about them that i just love. i've resisted from buying one on way more than one occasion. now that i get to buy one, i'm having a hard time deciding.

so. i'm on the hunt for the perfect pincushion.
i'm not much of an online shopper, but i like to browse etsy. i'm thinking it might be time to jump in a make a purchase. here are some options:
such a funny idea.
this one is adorable, is it not?
another cute idea.
or maybe i'm just feeling hungry right now.
look at this little dude!
and of course there is the practical one that is good on the needles.

i also wanted to post a video because i just realized how long it's been. i'm fairly certain you've probably heard this one, but i still think it's worth posting. enjoy!
