Testing ... 1, 2, 3!

Trying out this BlogPress app for my phone. Sorry if it looks funky, I'm still trying to figure things out! :]

Meanwhile ... I'd love another one of these! Had coffee with the bestie yesterday, since she's moving to NYC this week. Booooo.

The Failed Soup ...

It looks much more delicious than it tasted.  I'm not sure what was wrong.  Maybe too much thyme?  No idea.  I think I'll try it again sometime, but this time without the red peppers.  I love red peppers, but not in soup, I guess.

But onto something more successful!  I finished (finally) my first Style School project!  I actually started the whole thing over after getting almost all of the wrapping done, but I'm so happy I did.

I love these colors ... so bright and spring-y! I can't wait for another month or two, and I can take down my winter wreath and replace it with this one.  Or I might not wait for spring, and put it up just because.  :]

Ugh ...

I actually had an Mmm Mmm Monday post all ready to go today ... but when I made the recipe earlier today ... I hated it.  So back to the drawing board.

I'm diligently working on my Style School projects today, so hopefully I'll have some photos to share later!  :]

Dance Party USA!

Here's a mix I made for my sister this afternoon.  I imagine there are a lot of dance parties in a dorm room (bear with me, I never lived in one), so I wanted her to have a good soundtrack! This playlist is missing a song (I Want You Back by Discovery) that's on the actual CD, but you'll still get the idea.

And yes, I realize a lot of this is really pop ... but I can't help but want to dance to every song!

OK, gross. And sweaterrrrs!

Could someone please tell all of the creepers to stop hearting nudie pix on We ♥ It?  I mean, I'm totally fine with nudity for art's sake (I'm no prude!), but nudity for some pervo's sake? There are PLENTY of other sites on the internet for that.

Now, onto what I'm really here for ...

Since it is unbelievably cold here in Kansas right now (Tomorrow night's low? -11 F. Insane.), I thought I'd add a little warmth with these images of cuddly warm sweaters.  All images from the pervo-approved We ♥ It (I kid, I kid). Enjoy!

 

I got my new pom pom makers in the mail today! I think I'll play with them tonight while watching Mad Men. Everyone stay warm, and have a lovely evening!

Resolutions

I came upon the Resolution Generator today, and I wanted to share some of my randomly-generated new year's resolutions. And no, the last one isn't true ... but a girl can dream!  I recommend stopping by the site.  Some of the resolutions are funny, and others are things more of us should learn to follow.

Did you make any resolutions this year?  I made a ton ... and so far, I'm sticking to at least one of them (blog more!).

New Year ...

... New Look!  OK, I know I had only posted, like, 5 times ... but I just didn't really care for the last layout. Hopefully this new one will be a little more motivating and will get me to post more.  :]  I'm also hoping to get started on the 365 Project today, so should be something to get me posting, too.

Here are some beautiful illustrations inspiring me in these first few days of 2010.  All images via We ♥ It.

I'm currently using this as my iPhone background. SO in love.

These next few aren't straight illustrations per se, but I think they still fit the bill.
