Time to get ready for work..

sundays are good.

Jenna & I were crocheting this afternoon, and I was working on my afghan some more... right now it looks like a giant scarf, lol. It's going to clash so much, and be all sorts of colors, just the way I want it. Yes. :)

I am HONORED to be involved in Elsie & Leigh-Ann's latest online class... Style School. Look at all the fabulous people featured! When they asked me to be included I said "Eeeee!" outloud. :) Be checking here or here for more info coming tomorrow I believe.

Ok, you ever find something (online or in real) and something just clicks inside you like "Yes, that is me." or "Woah, I'm soooo digging that." You just feel inspired? I totally felt that after checking out She-bible via @skunkboy on Twitter. (Thanks Katie! We could be friends, I love your style) These are my favorite garments:

The rest of today includes:

-more crocheting (name one color combo that you love... I need some fresh ideas)

-helping my mom decorate her tree

-working on pom pom ornaments

-baking oatmeal raisin cookies

have a peachy sunday everyone.

15 weeks.

looking bigger all the time...

I think I was around this size when I was 6 months last time.... sheesh!

Looking forward to the 1st ultrasound & gender determination next month!!

Feeling great, other than the continuing leg pain. Seriously shouldn't complain though, because other than that, everything is good. :)

hope everyone enjoyed their weekend... I worked through the whole thing, it was a blur!

I've been itching to make homemade marshmallows.

They just look so pretty! I think they would make a lovely gift too, for the holidays. Who wouldn't want a pretty box of marshmallows, right?

Does anyone have a good recipe they would like to share?

I think..

I would like to add a red headed blythe to my christmas wish list. I've always enjoyed dolls, especially ones with beautiful hair that I could play with of course..

or perhaps a violet haired one...

and while browsing Flickr for all the cute photos, I couldn't help but love these as well..

cuteness!

If you could have a Blythe doll, what would you get? Maybe you have one already... link me a photo! :)
