Ugh I find myself lagging on this, partly because my projects are long term and because I feel like I'm writing to myself. Well, self, here are some projects I've finished recently. My friends birthday last week and her favorite animal is a giraffe, it even has a fring-t mane :]

New favorite recipe- Caprese pasta. Here's a picture before it went in the pyrex dish. All the mozzerella melts in the oven and is sooo yummy.

Made a book wreath for a friend by request. This time with pink buttons, hope she likes it!

Now off for a week in San Diego going to Sea World and the other parks! Yay!

finished!

Finally I took pictures of all the crafts I have finished in the month without internet. We have been decorating and unpacking like mad and it's starting to feel like home. I have so many ideas, mostly from pinterest, for our apartment and can't wait to start on new things.


The day of the dead canvas I posted a while back when it was incomplete and is finally done and ready for its home on our wall.


My scrapbook pillow is coming along. I still have the task of doing the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace which are gonna be hard with the small details, and a few other pieces on there but its coming along nicely.

I finally finished my recipe box. I have had it a while but stayed unfinished wood but I painted it and decoupaged relevant photos on it for my new kitchen.

And last but not least is the rug I crocheted! I had a bunch of old sheets that my last roommates left that I moved with us to protect furniture and then thought of this to repurpose them. It was a super easy project just time consuming and hurts your hand after a while. I used 2 twin size sheets and got a rug maybe 2 feet around, its home is in the kitchen so my feet are comfy when I do the dishes :]

finally!

we have internet! Tomorrow I will update and take photos of all the crafts I have completed in internets absence. Right now I am catching up on all the tv I have been without for 2 years :] any suggestions are welcomed. Til Tomorrow!

So deprived!

The move to Los Angeles went well and we are really enjoying the city. Only downside is we cant get internet to come hook up our place until august, so over a month with no internet! We have been doing lots of puzzles and board games to stay entertained. Finished a few crafts that I will have to update once I have web in the place. :]

Happy Fathers day!

I am so blessed to have my daddy as my best friend too. As a little joke I made a 'paw' print plaque for Jason from the dog for daddys day :] Hope everyone has a good day filled with family.

moving announcements

The day after we found our place I was so excited I couldnt contain it and started making announcements to mail out. I wanted to print it on carboard pieces but didnt want to pay extra postage so settled on some brown cardstock. I drew some 'box' sayings on the front and when I got to The Ups Store, I put a bunch of different stamps on it too. I downloaded a type writer font to make it cuter and stamped and drew on it some more. I forgot our apartment number so made the owl exclaiming it. Mailed em out and cant wait for people to start getting them!














[sorry the pics are sideways, they werent on my camera and arent on the comp but upload this way]

moving!

Soo my boyfriend and I are moving from our beautiful home in Santa Barbara to start our next chapter in Los Angeles. Its not a town I would choose to live in but we need to to both go to the universities we need. We looked for apartments yesterday and found the perfect one for our family :] Its adorable, has little built in bookshelves and 50's ish charm. We are excited to have our own apartment after living with roommates for 3 years and now we have one to ourselves. Lots of crafting to come and decorating. Yayyy.
