So were all packed and ready for our trip...for the most part. I've been packed for almost a month now and felt so prepared. Luckily we didn't forget too much, just a bag of stuff I needed for the next few days while I stay at my parents. The only important thing was our cell chargers and my laptop charger, luckily we have extras. Be back I'm two weeks from our London adventure!
Only 6 more days til my boyfriend and I go on our London adventure. I am so excited for all the thrifting and hipstamatic to come. In preparation I actually got my boyfriend crafting. He embroidered a pirate ship to make a luggage tag. This was his first embroidery and I was very impressed. I sewed it to some black denim and used an old pleather bracelet as the tie on. Not so bad :)
Just for fun. :] Busy packing for our trip, only 11 days left but we are staying with our parents for a few days before so we really have to be ready in 8! So much to do! so i thought i would just put up a couple hipstamatic prints since i dont really have the time for embroidery. 
It's been a while, I've been busy planning my trip to London this month! It was kinda spontaneous by me and my boyfriend but we are so excited. I've got a chalkboard countdown in the kitchen that I change every day and I have some big plans while we are there. Today though I went thrifting in San Juan capistrano with my mom. Ended up getting a vintage set of Pyrex for only 25 bucks for four pieces, steal!
Soo the other day I was embroidering on the sofa and had an open pair of scissors with me on the sofa and I moved positions with enough force to put the entire blade (cutterbee) into my foot. Needless to say I started freaking out with scissors in my foot but luckily my boyfriend was home, and he is an EMT so all the better. I still can't quite walk on my foot but luckily it was not bad. They say don't run with scissors but never don't sit with them!
Today in Santa Barbara we had snow! It is insane, I have lived in California my whole life and never heard of it snowing on a southern california beach town but it did, and lots of it! Granted its in the mountain range right here but theyre not high mountains and only a ten minute drive from dowtown. We built a snowman, named Eddy. The contrast of snow covered agave and succulents was one of my favourite things. Unfortunately I loaded my film camera improperly and wont have any super neat pictures of it but have a few phone ones. enjoy!
So this week I cooked a shepherds pie for my boyfriend. My dads from England and makes a mean pie and so I thought I would give it a try.
So tonight I started my gnomes that I got at michaels and he is turning out so good, I'm really excited. Just a few finishing touches and he will be ready to tend the garden :)
