I have been working so hard to revamp The Morose Bee and if you're reading this post that means it's finally happened! I started The Morose Bee in my college dorm room in 2008 as a creative outlet between working and studying. For over 10 years TMB continued to be my little corner of creativity on the internet to sell handmade goods, vintage finds, and even some supplies. This year I've made a huge change and have converted my website and part of my Etsy shop to a full blown online shopping experience and resource for makers! Now I am...

Edit: this post was written in April 2019, prior to the transition and launch of The Morose Bee becoming primarily a vendor of sustainable materials. It's exciting to see this goal come to fruition!  I've been thinking about posting something about sustainability within The Morose Bee for a while, but now that today is Earth Day it seems like the perfect time.

Have you set any resolutions or goals for 2019? I love having specific goals and writing them down to help with making it a reality. This year I decided to pick a word of the year. If you’re unfamiliar, a word of the year is when you pick a single word to set an intention to ground yourself in as opposed to making a list of a bunch of things to check off. When you’re trying to make decisions or plans, you can refer back to your word of the year as a guide for how to move forward. I have chosen the...

I used to share food and recipes all the time on my old blog and I felt inspired to take another crack at sharing some delicious vegan goodies I made recently. My birthday was a few days ago and I made myself some Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites! I can't say I made this up because it's very similar to a recipe from Isa Chandra Moskowitz for Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes. I liked the idea of the original recipe when I made it, buuuuuttttttt I don't like berries and chocolate so I wanted to switch it up. I was hoping this recipe...
