Hai! I'm Nikki, the creator of this lovely blog. I live in Portland, OR with my boyfriend (Andrew), kitty (Gary), and lizard (Slurp). I'm a full-time student majoring in Computer Information Systems and have a part-time job in retail (yay -_-).
I've always loved to cook and learn new recipes. My mom was an amazing cook growing up, and I guess I kind of just learned how to make stuff taste good as I watched her. Cooking is something I know that I'll love doing forever. To be honest, I actually have no idea how my food turns out to be so delicious, because our smoke detector goes off at least 3 times a month due to kitchen-related adventures.. but, I guess that's just where my awesomeness kicks in.
However, with crafting, I wasn't always interested in it. I did always appreciate unique and handmade things, but I never really thought I'd be good at it myself. I think that my interest and passion to hand-make things began when I went to a local crafting market here in Downtown Portland. After I saw that you could create more functional and purposeful things other than depressing paintings and other stupid things to hang on your wall, I got a sudden urge to make things on my own.
I created this blog in hopes to share my recipes with however many people decide to try them, to learn from others, and to have an easy way for myself to look back on all of the things I've made. I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy writing it for you!
