Fall

It's been a lot cooler here lately, and while I think it's just a cool front coming through, it definitely gets me in an Autumn mood. I love Autumn- not so much the weather (because, as strange as it sounds, I actually love the heat)- but more the 'feeling' in the air, the colors, and the Autumn holidays. Halloween and Thanksgiving are definitely two of my favorite holidays. See anything in common with both? If you guessed food, you're right. :) Speaking of Halloween, what are your plans for Friday night?

I've Got the Blues

Thrift shopping today at the monthly flea market...

Oh flea market, how I love you... Stay tuned for shop updates...

Work in Progress: The Dollhouse

I bought the cutest little dollhouse kit at Hobby Lobby over the summer and have been working on it non-stop. After making a huge error at the begining (too confusing to try to explain--and it wasn't the directions; it was my own fault), it has been smooth sailing ever since. This picture was taken about a week ago before I'd put the shingles on. Now that the shingles & porch are on, it looks so much cuter! Check out my flickr for more pictures. The next step: wallpapering.

Don't Underestimate My Smartness...

Even though I do tend to go to the bathroom on the floor sometimes...

Project Runway Finale!

Yay for Leanne! I have loved her since the first episode. Her lovely Portland, soft-spoken ways captured my heart the whole season and I'm so happy she won. (I'm almost as happy by the fact that she won as I am by the fact that Kenley didn't...she was so whiney.) Fun fact: Leanne is an Etsy shop owner! Did you know that? I read it on the Etsy forums...but I can't remember the link to her shop. I'll have to do some research and get back to you on that.

Embroidered/Beaded Hoop Project

Fun project I've been working on: Embroidered/beaded fabric attatched to embroidery hoop. I've seen those hoops that just have the fabric stretched on them, but I thought I'd take it a little further and add some beads. I think the first one turned out pretty nicely.
