I'm Stephanie. I like to knit, write letters and poems, read (novels and blogs!), and stress out to the max. ;) At Sunbeam Soapbox I write about the knitting, letters, and whichever thoughts I want to share with the world. I also like new friends! Feel free to drop me an e-mail anytime using the contact form.

Is making me think woolly thoughts. Hey, maybe I’ll even start to knit again. And write here! Wouldn’t that be something? Anyway, I could really use some new mittens, for when it gets truly cold.

I am becoming out of practice with the practice of writing out my thoughts. I want to tell a story (any story really, except the one that I have to edit 99 pictures and videos for), but I don’t know how to tell any one. I’ve been too busy, or too distracted, or too immersed [...]
There was ZERO knitting this weekend, lots of insomnia (yes, that’s what I call staying awake until 4am hanging out outside with friends… insomnia…), a visit to a play that I had to review afterward, and a food festival in the city park with beautiful weather.
So of course the only thing I really focused on [...]
I am a big sister. (You probably didn’t know that.)
This means that I am over protective of my little brother, and that my least favorite game as a child was Monkey in the Middle. Too often my brother ended up the monkey, laughing delightedly at being included while the others laughed at him for not [...]

I went to a paper store today on my way back from the grocery store (all in the mall right next to my apartment), meaning to get [...]
