I started 2021 with big plans and wishful thinking. I'm starting 2022 actually following through with a few of them. As I'm writing this (mid-January 2022), New Zealand's borders are still shut tight and I don't know when I'm going to travel again. It's not going to stop me from dreaming, planning, and moving forward, though, and this Wherever I May Roam Pouch encompasses all of my hopefulness for the coming year.

Team Candy Corn Free SVG
I am 100% unashamedly Team Candy Corn. I love seeing those cheerful bags hit the shelves and I'm known for keeping a bowl full of them all season. Candy corn isn't available in New Zealand.

Madeline is the most Harry Potter crazy of all my kids and she's going full on with a Harry Potter themed bedroom. She has the Sorting Hat Weaving I made a few years back, a Hogwarts painting I did at a painting studio in Illinois, her Hufflepuff banner, and all sorts of bits and pieces. She's turning the nook with her desk into her Harry Potter space and I'm way more than happy to help her along. I made this crazy easy Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Mirror DIY as a fun addition to her ... Read More
Sir Edmund Hillary Quote Embroidery Hoop
You would be hard pressed to find anyone in New Zealand who doesn't know who Sir Edmund Hillary is--he's on the $5 bill! I will admit that I didn't know who he was until I got interested in Mt Everest during my late 20s--Hillary, along with his sherpa Tenzing Norgay, became the first confirmed climbers to reach the summit in 1953. That alone would have made him an icon in New Zealand, but he went on to be the first person to reach both poles and summit Everest. He was well known for his ... Read More
Felt Pinwheel Flowers
I haven't gotten tired of making little projects for around the house yet.

These felt pinwheel flowers are super easy to make and can be whatever colour you want. This post contains affiliate links.
