Day 6: A Picture of Something That Makes You Happy

This is Knapps Castle. It is a hidden gem in Santa Barbara. Its a 15 minute drive into the mountains and a 10 minute flat dirt road to the Castle. It was built in 1916 by a rich mogul, George Owen Knapp. A week after selling it it burned down in a wild fire, so know all that is left are ruins. It is the most beautiful and serene place ever and I am sooo happy when I am here. You can't see anything but wilderness for miles. With the mountains cutting into the landscape and a lake off in the distance. This place makes me truly happy and grateful.Also my dog sleeping like this makes me happy :]

Absence

So I haven't been blogging lately with so many things going on right now. I have been having car troubles for 4.5 months now and then had a gnarly cold for two weeks now with no end in sight. I will be crafting again soon though. I've made a couple cards but bought more stuff then I have made recently. I'm going to start powering through me pillow cause I want it finished cause I'm so excited about it. Here's some hipstamatic pics for now and hopefully I'll have some craft pics up this week. :)

So busy

School is starting to get down to the end and my anniversary(five years eek!) is next week and my boyfriends birthday is a week later so a lot of planning and crafting in secret going on here. I'm plugging a head on my London pillow and it's turning our better than I imagined. I got a new app too that allows you to do an inventory of embroidery floss and attach them to projects- now I dont have to bring it to the craft store and match thread I ran out of, it's awesome! Have a good weekend everyone :)

So much to share!

So I had a fabulous weekend, finished a few different crafts for my anniversary (4 years ahh!). Now I can solely focus on my embroidery of my grandpa and then my day of the dead canvas that I feel I have been working on forever cause I always get sidetracked with another project. So Sunday we went to the Santa Barbara zoo, and whale watching too. No whales but saw some dolphins and sea lions and had an amazinggg day. I also got my new vacuum in the mail and I dont even think you could comprehend how excited I was, I'm gonna be a vacuuming fiend.

The embroidery of my grandpa, its coming along slowly cause im doing some really detailed stitches. (sorry I can't figure out how to flip the picture :[ )My gift from my boyfriend, theyre folded dollars made in to hearts.His girft from me, it's an inside joke but basically when we first met I wrote that and tacked it to my wall, for this I copied the original paper that is no longer up and embroidered it.

And finally my day of the dead canvas that i'm also working on. Cant wait for it to be done.
