Taco Tuesday Let the Craziness Begin...

I have lots to do today, but I really wanted to fit in a blog....so here it is!

I plan to get some baking done today. I found this pumpkin bread kit at WallyWorld and I'm planning on making them into muffins. I also wanted to try this pumpkin cookie recipe. I love baking! C.cakes says I'm pretty good at it, and his family likes it when I bring cookies!

A major on my to do list is decorating for Christmas. I plan to make a wreath similar to this one that rachel made!



I am still working on crocheting, and someday I will be able to make a granny square. I love this bag!
I also love this skirt. You can find the pattern here.

I hadn't been on flickr in a while. Today I found some really pretty pictures.


If you are a fan of Eisley, then check out Sherri's photostream...she's too cute!





Thinking about babies...


Amy Butler has some cute bags....
Well that's all for now, I've gotta get on that to do list! Have a wonderful taco tuesday!

Not Harajuku?

It's been the longest week ever and I haven't had much time for posting. Work is crazy and getting crazier. Right now I'm drinking some beer and trying to relax. C.cakes is in Dallas for some shows, so I'm kinda lonely.

I've been trying to work on projects this week. I made my sister a bday present and I'm working on xmas presents. I'm aiming to do a mostly handmade christmas...

I really want to put up my christmas decorations. I was just noting that my pumpkin is still not carved, so I will to a christmas pumpkin lol...it's on my to do list.

I like this girls street style, and her lovely hair. Makes me think of Gwen Stefani.

I'm looking forward to a few days off soon! I have a huge to do list that I should probably write down....Hopefully soon I will have a real post! Ciao!

Bow-licious Sunday

Being up and dressed before 11! go me! I have lots to do today, so I am getting ready to head out to run errands. I have work later after the mall closes because we're setting up our holiday floorset. So I have to get as much done as possible.

Today I'm wearing my fav earrings that I got from Aerie. They are just simple little black bows, but they don't make my ears all hot and itchy. I even fell asleep in them the other day!

I also lovelove this sweater. I got it at target in the little girls section for only $15 a while back, and I discovered it in my closet earlier this week. I like to shop in the little girls section because stuff is cheaper and cuter!

Well I've gotta jet! Have an awesome Sunday and wish me luck at the grocery store! LOL!

PS Notice the wall behind me is painted!! Yes we are starting to decorate finally. This color is called wasabi powder and its in the dining area!

What's in My Bag....

I've always wanted to do one of these, so I am! I love purses, bags, totes....I practically live out of my bag so here goes:

I had to take several pictures, and I took them with my iphone b/c the batteries died on my camera, again. Be prepared for lots of stuff....I was just thinking why is my bag so heavy...lol


I'm knitting another scarf, my wallet, my fav beanie, and fingerless mittens, a mood ring, a straw, and a coffee mug with green tea in it (my throat has been hurting), and snack crackers....

the new Nylon, a bottle of water, my nintendo ds, i collect those starbucks coozies for crafts, 2 forks and a spoon, oatmeal, and my fav sunglasses at the moment.

pocky, small altoids, zinc cold remedy, goody bag from the shower, dry shampoo, lip glosses, excedrin, the cutest bag ever that brooke made me...

hair clips, twilight woods perfume, pen, makeup, hand sanitizer, passport, day planner, coloring book, peppermint oils, keys, lotion...

keys, klennex, mixed nuts, rice krispey treat, the book i'm reading...

the big lisa frank bag this is all in, including the other purse....lol no wonder it's heavy...

sooooo....what's in your bag?

A little Radness...

It's 1 am and I'm exhausted! C.cakes is making spaghetti for dinner and I'm catching up on my blog reads. I saw this pic of devandra banhart bleubird vintage, and it just totally made my day/evening/twilight....I hope this radness gets you through today. We listen to that one song he sings that goes..."i feel just like a child..." makes me feel all peter pan-y

Waiting on My Coffee to Brew

I set my alarm early so I could make my own coffee, since I've been spending a fortune on it...eeekk! I have tons to do today, starting with work....blah. I need to come home and clean, clean, clean and organize, organize, organize so my spaces are ready for christmas and getting crafty. I think I'll feel better once it's all done. I'm also working on decorating my house, which is/was my New Year's Resolution. So as I prepare for my day here is something cute that cheers me up! It's by Liz Adams, my fav new illustrator!
