I tried to post these last time, but something was up with my puter...so we'll try this again.

It's getting cold outside.

So I've been terrible about blogging lately, mainly due to the fact that my work hours have been so ridiculous. Think 1:30 PM to 10:30 PM 5 days a week (two of these days are definitely weekend ones), I mean who feels productive early in the AM when you know you have to work the rest of the day and into the night? I certainly don't. Today I had a day off, luckily, and was able to finally grab some inspiration for a project or two (thanks to some of my favorite blogs, and one newly discovered). I am going to knit something. Maybe a scarf, maybe a sunny blanket, but first I need to find a knit shop...apparently there is one nearby in Georgetown. Of course I didn't bring my stitch 'n bitch handbook so I will need to purchase another, as I have yet to master every knitting technique (or any for that matter). I will also be in the market for some needles and yarn (duh). Let's take a glance at the post where this beautiful inspiration came from:


Gorgeous, right?


So perhaps I won't start with a big squishy blanket, but a small cowl-like scarf should be simple enough.

drum roll please...

As promised, here are some photos of my new room with Kara...like I said...stinkin' cute!







NBD.

marie antoinette

Today I was reminded of one of my favorite movies Marie Antoinette with Kirsten Dunst, and rather than explaining I will show you why:

The colors and textures of their costumes are so amazing...not to mention the set decoration. She's like a real-live porcelain doll in a world inspired by cupcake frosting and excess. Beautiful.
