So sad.

I bought this super pretty skirt, but it is just too small for me.  No fun.  I love it and really really wish I could have it fit.  Such a fun pattern and awesome color.  I love it.

Love Seat

If I was living in a cute little house with a sun room or screened in porch I would totally be buying this little love seat.

I really like this lamp.  Just adds something a bit different than a "normal" lamp.

It is such a basic design.  Really the only unique thing is that the cord is a different color.  But I still like it.

27 in 2011

There seem to be a lot of bloggers out there that are working on their 30 before 30 (and here or 32) or other such lists of goals, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon.  My version is 27 in 2011.  I turn 27 this year, so 27 seemed like a good number of goals, but my birthday is in June, and 6 months doesn't give me a lot of time to accomplish everything, so I am giving myself till the end of the year.  I am even such a dork that I have already created an excel file to track my progress!  (if you are lucky I might even show you what it looks like!)

So here goes . . .

1. top secret
2. take banjo lessons (or start again)
3. rock climb at least once a month
4. run with Char at least once a week
5. try at least 2 new recipes a week
6. floss daily
7. get pictures organized (finish printing 2009, wedding photos, create photo books, etc.)
8. read 6 books
9. lose XX lbs. (and keep 'em off!) - I don't think anyone needs to know this number!
10. clean out my closet & back closet
11. learn to crochet and make cowl
12. learn to make pasta
13. learn to knit and make stirrup socks
14. paint some furniture (the china cabinet, and redo the red table)
15. re-learn to use my SLR camera
16. develop a better understanding of my finances & create a budget
17. pay off 2 debts
18. learn to do my eye makeup
19. try at least two new sewing projects a month
20. go someplace with snow
21. organize my fabric and sewing supplies
22. update my wine file and keep it up to date
23. get a massage
24. get my files in order and keep them organized
25. take vitamins daily
26. get Rhubarb Baby off the ground (I'll talk more about this later)
27. get a new blog up and going and post at least once a week - DONE! (at least partially)

*Funny that 16 and 17 totally go against the name of this blog.  Ha!

New Year, New Blog

One of my goals for 2011 is to create a new blog and post at least once a week.  So . . . . here we are!

I want to use this blog to share things I love.  The stuff I craft, my family, things that inspire me, food I make, my life in general, and of course "consumer items."  I think I find stuff every day I would love to buy, and I believe my husband and mother are tired of seeing all the things I would love to buy!  But now, if anyone ever wants to buy me something (and please feel free to do so), they will be able to find an idea here. Hehe.

So, hi and welcome!
