Hello! I’m Emily

The easiest way for me to start this is by saying,

I hate introductions. I’m the kind of person who gets so flustered about having to introduce myself in social situations that I usually forget other people’s names because I’ve spent so much energy focusing on trying not to forget my own when it’s my turn to speak 😅

In a nutshell, I’m a nerdy weirdo who:

stalks Apple-related forums in the weeks leading up to a new product launch
can’t type without speaking at the same time (I have to hear what it sounds like it to make sure it works)
annoyingly recites entire scenes from Harry Potter, accent and all
loves my dog more than life itself
can be almost instantly regulated with a cuddle
scream sings Alanis Morissette when I’m overwhelmed, stressed, or just need a pick-me-up
would live off bridge mix, licorice all sorts, cinnamon buns, and donuts if I could

About This Blog:

Cashmere & Plaid has been a part of my life since January 4, 2013. It started out as a place for me to share anything - from my thoughts to crafts to simple recipes and everything in between. Since then it’s gone through many evolutions, been put on the proverbial shelf for months on end (more than once), but time and time again it’s been a place I’ve returned to when I’ve needed comfort, somewhere to unload my thoughts, and an outlet for my creative juices. Thank you for being here, it’s an honour to have you.
