Cupcake Pops

Bakerella has inspired me to try making my own.

After sweat, blood and tears they are all finished! Ok, it wasn't that hard but it took me 2 days to make them and I was frustrated and tired by the end. They sure look cute though and taste yummy!

I believe I went to bed last night with a sugar overdose from all the tasting I did.

You can find the directions to make your very own and also watch how they are made on Martha.

Cool breeze

Tonight was the first moment I thought to myself that fall is really coming. Walking out of work the breeze was very cool and the air even smelled a little bit like fall. It makes me want to break out my knitting needles and yarn, brew a cup of coffee and sit and enjoy the peacefullness. So while you are waiting for your fall to come enjoy some new knitting patterns from my good old favorite Kim Hargreaves
Aimee
This one looks like it will keep you warm in the cool breezes of fall.

A Diamond in the Rough

I discovered this little building the other day and fell in love. Do you think the owner will sell it to me so I can turn it into my loft and little shop?

Etsy Shop Anouncement

I am working on adding a new section to my Etsy shop! If you read my blog on a regular basis you might know about my passion for cakes. I have searched high and low for cake themed items and have found a void that I am hoping to fill.

In the meantime while you are waiting for my new items you can check out this hilarious blog I found yesterday that is called Cake Wreck.

Jam and Michel Gondry?

It's been ages since I've read the Free People blog so I thought I would check to see if anything caught me eye this evening......

......and of course something did.
You know my love for Science of sleep and Michel Gondry so this video caught my attention.

Check out June Taylor a gal who makes Jam and this cute little video on her website that is so crafty.

You can also view a documentary on her that is absolutely lovely here.

Shop Update

I've got some new items listed on Etsy!

Some are brand new finds and there are others that have been sitting around on my shelf waiting for their pictures to be taken. Please go check um out!

Not everything is listed yet so keep watching for more! You may see everything new at my flickr.

something new.

Sometimes I get restless and start thinking that I am ready for something new. I went through this about 3 months ago and am having the urge again. I am ready for a new place. I could sell almost everything in this house and start new, have a giant estate sale and get rid of everything that I have inherited and not loved. This place would be a loft that I had personally chosen all the finishes. I don't want one of those cookie cutter lofts either that are on a really busy street that all the restaurants and clubs are on. One that is a little more quite but still in the downtown area.

So, if any of you guys know of any good prospects let me know. Maybe someday I will take a step further and do it instead of just thinking about it.

Then you can buy all my cool stuff you've been eying that I have. ;) wink, wink.

Flooding with Laughter!

Ok, spotted this on another gals blog and just had to share it all with you guys. Some of you who don't watch the news or read the internet don't know what is going on here in the Midwest. Well here's your update!
I can't get the video to embed here in my blog so you will have to go to the link. Enjoy.

Watch what you eat.

Everything in moderation is what my friend Sarah tells me.

So it's ok to have Chipotle maybe 2 times a week and a 3rd if it's absolutely necessary?

Salvaging

Julie and I spent a beautiful Wednesday morning digging through the thrift store and the architectural salvage store. Didn't make any large purchases by sure could have!

Julie, looking through all sorts of goodies!

I never get pictures of myself so I had to take one today.

Oooh, pretty glass door knobs!

Julie's so cute!
