I am kind of already in love with 2014. Ok, if the temperature was up another 50 degrees I would really love it. I try to stay away from looking at my weather app because I know I'll just be disappointed to see how cold it really is, thanks polar vortex. There is snow on the ground so I know: it is cold.

Back to why I love it: I feel like there is so much to be learned in 2014. For Christmas, my family (err..Santa) hooked me up with some really sweet things like a drill, screen printing supplies, a knitting book, a printer, a rotary cutter, & a new camera lens. These are all things that I probably wouldn't have asked for five years ago. They are things to hone a craft, to improve skills and to learn new skills. To know there are more possibilities ahead and more things to learn and work on is exciting, overwhelming, and just what I need for a new year.

What are you looking forward to this year?

P.S. I've been living in a select few items this winter and this Free People Circle in the Sand Tee is one of them. Have you seen the new January collection? You've done it again, Free People!
