The plight of QuadrigaCX’s lost crypto funds continues. Users have been complaining for over a monththat they cannot withdraw their funds, and suspicions of a scam were already in the air before it was announced this week that CEO Gerald Cotten reportedly died of complications from Crohn’s disease on December 9th in In... |
It took until this week for Cotten’s death statement and a death certificate to become public, and users still speculate the CEO may not even be dead (notice that the death certificate misspelled his last name as “Cottan”). Another point of controversy lies in the fact that Cotten had claimed in 2015, that the exchange... |

I've been whipping up some quick knit projects after discovering that I have A LOT of knit scraps. Nothing epic but a few lessons learned along the way. |
Excuse the blur. Not sure why this is out of focus. |
More Rosy Lady Shorts made from fabric leftover from t-shirts. The lesson learned here was to use stretch lace with good recovery. Also, I zig-zagged the elastic together instead of serging it. I found the serged seams on the stretch lace on my other pairs tend to unravel. |
Likely my final Erin Maternity Skirt, as I only need so many. This one is made from some striped rib knit from Our Social Fabric. Here I learned not to sew when tired. I originally sewed the waist band to the hem of the skirt. I even added the elastic for ruching on the wrong end and hemmed the waist band. I spent a go... |
I am skeptical about the classic maternity pose. |
More baby pants in scraps. The first two were from my mom and the second two were from Our Social Fabric. I found the serged seams always looked a bit sketchy at the end of the cuffs. I actually took the time to weave them into the seams using a darning needle that I use for knitting. This looks so much better and make... |

Acne rosacea, now more accurately know just as rosacea, is a chronic skin condition of the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. It consists of flushing, which turns into red coloration from the dilation of the capillaries and can lead to pustules that resemble acne. |
Preliminary reports in the 1940s claimed that rosacea improved with oral supplements or injections of B vitamins7 8 9 On the other hand, one report exists of rosacea-like symptoms in a patient taking 100 mg per day of vitamin B6 and 100 mcg per day of vitamin B12; these symptoms subsided when the supplements were disco... |

I’ve really been neglecting this space lately. And it’s not because I don’t have anything to say. In fact, I have too much to say. Over the past several weeks I have been mulling over so many thoughts in my head, trying to find some way to put them into words. Trying to find the time to just sit and think about what I ... |
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it here before, but my mind often feels like a swirling, cloudy mess of mixed emotions.

It’s an exhausting way ... |

So I’m going to try to apply this to my life. I can’t control my feelings, but I can control how I use them. I can learn to give into them instead of hiding from them or judging them or criticizing myself. If I’m feeling anxious, I can let myself feel anxious and explore what it is that’s causing the anxiety and do som... |
I don’t go to therapy (though I’d never be opposed to it, and one could argue my acting class is a therapy session, haha), so (yay for you!), I think I’ll start using this space to explore more of myself. I do that here already – discovering my goals and hobbies and sharing my general life journey. But in thinking abou... |
