I have new bookshelves thanks to Matt Compton. For the first time since I was a kid, I am now able to alphabetically organize books both tall and short next to one another. I have so many shelves that can fit large books, I don't have to worry about saving them strictly for oversized editions. I've been thinking a lot about cataloging and organizing them lately and artists that deal with this as subject matter. Buzz Spector's My Ruscha from 2001 first comes to mind (particularly because I love the "brick" which is now depicted as another shape altogether and I own two of the ones featured below): Nina Katchadourian's series Sorted Books is also an inspiration. Shark Journal from 2001: Organizing books by color has always been an option I like to imagine but would never do. I felt like my old organization system was quickly approaching The Basement Stacks by Wary Meyers: Thankfully it did not reach the point of "The World's Most Dangerous Bookstore:" "You Never Know What You'll Find in a Book," a NY Times essay from 2008 outlines several collections found in book pages: "Sherman Alexie figured out a way around botched safekeeping during his hard-drinking college days at Gonzaga and Washington State Universities in the 1980s. Fearful that he would spend all his money during a bender, he would “slide tens and twenties into random books in my apartment.” Months later, having forgotten about the money, he’d find it again. “It was like winning little jackpots,” he wrote in an e-mail message, adding, 'I’m sober now, have been sober for many years, and I keep my money in banks.'” I am also completely enamored with Penelope Umbrico's Embarrassing Books. From her website: "Embarrassing Books are re-photographed details of bookcases in home-improvement and décor websites and magazines that have their books turned spine in. Only someone who is deeply embarrassed by the content of his or her books would turn them around this way – or, perhaps, these books have turned themselves this way because they are embarrassed by their owners. In the never-ending variety of perfectly appointed, vapidly flawless rooms in these virtual spaces, this refusal of content actually makes sense. Subservient to the decorative, these books have become nutrition-less, emptied of purpose and content, and erased of meaning - a sedated empty exchange which produces a valueless object from the apparition of an object of value." The New York Times "10 Best Books of 2011" is out too. Uh oh. I am looking forward to more end of the year art book lists. Extra room on the shelves = Hello Christmas!

Confession: I am terrible at saving money. You might be thinking, "Well, you write a blog called Cheryl Shops, so duh," and you'd be right—I do indeed like to shop, but I don't spend money I don't have...it's just that I spend what's there. And I since I have a healthy six figures already in my retirement account, perhaps a more accurate statement is I'm terrible at budgeting, which is indeed true. But while my retirement savings are on the healthy side, my personal savings are…not. So one of my non-resolution resolutions for 2018 is to save more. Thankfully, I've discovered an incredibly easy, low-maintenance way to do it. Meet Acorns, a site whose name stems from one of my favorite facts about nature—that trees are grow because squirrels forget where they bury their acorns. The main way it works is simple: link your credit cards to your account, and every time you make a charge, Acorns rounds it up to the nearest dollar and deposits the difference in your account. (For example, let's say you pay $8.52 for lunch; Acorns will put 48¢ in your account.) The actual deposits come in chunks about once a week from your bank account, and in my case, are usually between $5 and $10 depending on how much I use my card. (You can also multiply these 2x, 3x, or 10x to really step things up, but I recommend starting with the single round-up until you figure out whether you can live with the deductions.) The logic is that these savings are so small, you won't notice the difference in your day-to-day life, but over time they'll grow, and eventually you'll have a bunch of money (or a forest, if you will). The money in your account is then invested and will (hopefully) continue to grow; you can also make a one-time or recurring contribution to pump up your account—I do an additional $20 a month but will probably ramp that up soon. There's also a "found money" function in which you can earn money back from certain retailers or services, kind of like eBates. I haven't tried this yet, but I'm so addicted, I probably will soon. For me, the coolest thing is that I have (to date), $182.75 in my account, and I opened it just two months ago! It's not six months' worth of expenses (which you're supposed to have saved), but it's a start. Speaking of which, if you use my link to sign up, you'll get $5—totally free—and you'll already be on your way to saving! Acorns will also plant an oak tree for each referral, so you can feel doubly good about saving money. And that's way better than becoming the old woman who literally lives in her shoes.

If you know even the slightest bit about knitting or crochet, you’re most likely familiar with worsted weight yarn. Also known as ‘afghan,’ ‘aran,’ or simply ‘medium,’ this seemingly do-it-all weight of yarn can be used for a variety of projects. This yarn is easy to work with and knits up quickly without too much bulk. But exactly what is this weight of yarn and why is it almost every yarn enthusiast’s old standby? We break it down for you below.
