Here’s to another great month of reading!

What I read last July.

And in July 2015, 2014, and 2013!

Every day is an adventure. I share the view, the gratitude and the news on Fridays – you’re invited to join in. You can find all my adventures here, or follow along via email here.

The view

Just picked up @bluebirdlegacy's yarn from the fiber mill...and sold every last skein to Purl'sYarn Emporium. Stop in to squeeze it! It is SO GOOD.

Yay! Done with the body of #bluesandcardigan! Picking up for the front. #knitting #pluckyknitter #knitstagram

I am so grateful for…

Warm weather!
I saw the first of the Spring daffodils and it's really the best news all week.
Total writing flow. I wrote over 3.5K words on Monday and 5.5k on Wednesday and whoa, does it feel good.

The Finds:

I’m reading:

How to pay the bills, by Austin Kleon (This is exactly why I created Pay Yourself!)
Women who run their own business are happier! Duh! (Note that you get happier the longer you do it, according to the study)
Starship Captain and artist Christie Minchew made a 3D version of her Map! Love it!

I’m knitting:

In case you missed it:

I'm teaching at Craftcation in just two weeks! YAY! If you're in SoCal, please join me! (Or at the very least, let's have a coffee! Drop me a note here.)
Think you need to worry about “managing your time”? You don't.
Not sure where to start with keeping track of your business numbers? Start here.
The Starship will open for only 5 days this quarter. Sign up here to be the first to find out.
