Biking New Jersey
~:: Riding NYC with Amy ::~
Last weekend I was back on my bike with Bike New York riding through parts of New Jersey. Oh, poor New Jersey, they always get a bad rap – from their beaches that cost to enjoy, from the hundreds of toll roads, from the full service gas stations where you wait and wait to get your gas, from the high bridge tolls into NYC and I’m sure the Housewives of New Jersey series isn’t boosting the state’s reputation either. It has to be tough to shine when you are only a stone’s throw away from one of the most dynamic cities in the world! Well I’m here to say, it’s not that bad and actually quite beautiful.

DIY Indoor Succulent Garden
~:: Stitcherati ::~
Whenever I see succulent plants, it reminds me of my grandparents’ sun-drenched patio garden in Arizona. I was recently inspired to bring a little bit of the Southwest to my Northeastern home, so I took a trip to Home Depot and picked up a few small succulent plants and made a couple of planters for my windowsill. Not only were they simple to assemble, but they also proved to be just as easy to care for. If you have ever wondered how you can create your own Southwestern-inspired indoor succulent garden, follow this easy step-by-step tutorial.
ABOUT TRESSA: Tressa is a New York City-based graphic designer and creator of The Stitcherati, a craft blog. She hails from a family of crafters. Her mother is a quilter, her father a woodworker and her sister, a knitter and sewer. Tressa started hand-sewing dresses for Barbies with remnant swimsuit fabric at 8-years old.
