OK this post is sort of in honor of my friend’s Megan and Lance, who are about to have a baby and also partly because I love all things cute and this documentary screams cute. Have a cute Wednesday.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I wanted to update my shop earlier but unfortunately my car was broken into over the holidays and my computer was stolen. Boo. But the good news and cute news is I have updated my shop now so go check out the new items. I hope to put even more handmade goodies up later this weekend.

A peek a one of my newer paintings. I’m planning on updating my etsy shop later today.

My mom came and visited recently and took some pictures of my home. Just thought I would share. Be back later with another update of new stuff! (All pictures taken by Kathi Fly) 

Here are some more DIY projects I will be working on this week. 

From How About Orange

This DIY project from Design sponge is great! I just need to figure out who to make one for?! 

And Red Velvet Art is having an update on there shop tonight at 7:00p.m. So excited, can’t wait to see the new stuff. Here is a sneak peek of some of the things I like. 

And I will leave you with this video from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. A friend told me about them the other day and ever since then I have been seeing stuff about them everywhere. Enjoy the beautiful day!

This year I am going to try and hand make all my gifts! Woo hoo. I am really excited about this but it will take time. Here are some of the projects I plan to work on. I can’t give too much info. though I don’t want to give any surprises away. 

Over at Smile and Wave  they were giving a tutorial on braided head bands. Rubellen from Cakies actually gave the tutorial so make sure to check out her site as well. 

Next is stenciling with freezer paper from How about Orange.

Also I love this wreath from The Red Thread.

I can’t wait to start on all my projects. Ohhh and also make sure to head over to my mom’s blog today so you can see the rest of these amazing pictures she has posted from the beautiful wedding on the beach we attended this past weekend. 

Hope you enjoy the play list I made!

While reading my friend Allison’s post this morning I realized I to love fall. It is such a great season and even though we had a 100% chance of rain today, I just still love this time of year. I have several projects I am working on. For one a baby shower for my dear friend Megan. I had a bunch of fun ideas and inspiration for the shower it will have to wait until afterwards so not to give away any surprises. But here are some other things I have been inspired by lately:

Some of the people that worked on Domino Magazine (moment of silence) … have started an online magazine called Lonny! This really makes me so happy. Check it out here: http://www.lonnymag.com/

I am trying to learn how to crochet this Fall and this blanket is the reason I decided to. It is just so gorgeous. Now I am currently in the beginning stages. I’ll let you know how it goes but I am also left-handed and am learning how to crochet using my right hand so it’s been a little troublesome so far but I am determined. 

The Art House Co-op has a new project! The Scavenger Project. This one looks really awesome and I am hoping to sign-up for it. 

This etsy shop is pretty great. Here are some of my favorite posters from the shop. 

Last I want to share these amazing snickerdoddle cupcakes from Bakerella. I will definitely have to try my hand at these later this week. 

The Uniform Project  is a project that benefits the Akanksha Foundation, which is a grassroots movement that aims to help education in India. What is it? The idea is the woman who started the project will wear the same dress for 365 so show fashion sustainability by changing accessories from day to day. She will donate one dollar per day which by the end of the year will help a child go to school. The project is to help gain awareness to the need of education in India… so you can donate too! 

Here are a couple of the outfits she’s worn so far.

I know, I know it has been a little more than forever since I’ve posted but trust me I’ve been really busy. What in the world have I been doing? Well…

Vacation to Virginia…

Growing Veggies and selling veggies…

And cooking veggies…

Recipes compliments of Vegan Yum Yum and yes it was very yumyum. 

And lots of celebrating…

My BFF’s baby is on the way and its a boy!!! And my job as the “cool aunt” begins. 

And a good friend of mine just got married. It was a beautiful wedding with pictures taken by an awesome photographer. And speaking of wedding he just started a new wedding blog so go check it out. 

But I am back and ready to blog some more! And since I have been gone so long I realize this needs to be a spectacular blog. So enjoy. 

First there is HappyTape which need I say more? I think the name explains it all. It will make you happy. Or at least it makes me happy and I don’t own any… 

Some great fabric that my mom found by Anna Maria Horner. I can’t wait to get my hands on some of her fabric. It’s just all so great. And she also has some really great patterns. I really want to try the clutch.

Also I absolutely am in love with this food site. I always want to make the recipes on her site and the best thing is she provides them for you.
