Wednesday Wishlist

Its been a while since I've done one of these! Here's some cute internet treasures I've been pining after.

Tiny Owl's Magic Attic has the CUTEST patterns. I've never knitted anything more extravagant than a long scarf, but I'm dying to download her patterns and give it a try. These three are my favorites.

Kate Rowland makes some really cute broaches and necklaces. I love this one!

Amethyst plugs by AEOrangics are so pretty, I would love a pair like these geodudes. Haha, geddit? Pokemon jokes.
These socks are a necessity. Sock Wizard makes them and a bunch of other neat ones.
In God We Trust makes super sassy jewelry and I am obsessed! They even make custom orders.
I had no idea Dead Man's Bones had merch. Thanks to a couple of tumblr babes, I now know and plan to order something... if only I could make up my mind.

Happy Hump Day!

New additions to my room

I got a bunch of cute new decorations for Christmas and my birthday, and here they are in their new habitat.

This is the shadow box I got from the night of curb diving, I just now hung it up! Smushy romantic letters from Jared are all that I've put in it so far cx
Mirror from Mom, Bear painting from Jared
I treated myself to the picture frame, because GLITTER.
Haven't picked out the perfect picture for the frame from mom yet.
Diego! The cat pillow from Jared :)
This little booger is not a new addition, but he is the cutest thing in my room! Right after I took these he was full of energy and we got in a wrestling match. I love playing with him :)
"Mooomm, I'm boooorrred. Quit taking pictures and let's play!"
Awesome hanger from Duke, my little brother :)
See how the comforter is all messed up? It was all nice the Boof wanted to wrestle, so poop.

Cookies!

The last time I attempted to make peanut butter blossoms, I burnt them horribly. This time, Jared did most of the work, and they turned out beautifully! So delicious.


So yummy, haha!

Diana Mini

My Grammy got me a Diana Mini camera for christmas, and I got my first roll developed. They turned out AWESOME, I'm so excited. Especially because 35mm film is a lot easier to come by than 120 film, and they turn out the same as my holga would. I messed up the second half of the roll because I had the shutter setting on long exposure on accident, so they're over exposed. But I still got a decent amount of photos back, and I'm excited to take more!

Its funny, these were taken just after Christmas, and all that snow s already long gone! I wonder if we'll get more before winter ends.

What I Wore - Please, please, please Let me get what I want


Sweater - Viva Moz
Pants - American Eagle
Shoes - Tom's

I think that song title is really fitting for this outfit post, because that's exactly what I'd been thinking about this sweater! I first found it in October, and it sold out on pre-sale. They said it wouldn't be back in stock until next year. Oh, the devastation. The miraculously a month or two later, I got an email that they had gotten a few more in stock, and you best believe I hopped to the chance. Even when I was at work and had to order from a friend's phone haha.

I love this sweater. I only ever got into The Smiths because when I was obsessed with MCR, Gerard had an interview where he talked about them, so of course I looked into them. Then once I moved to Alaska, and my mom and I would go garage sailing almost daily, there was on morning where I thought to myself "Today, I want to find a Smiths cd, and a Smashing Pumpkins cd". Lo and behold, one of the first ones we went to had both, and I snatched them up. The rest is angsty teenage history :)

Hopre you're having a happy hump day!

Recently Aquired Things

Last Saturday, we went to a really cool record store in Indianapolis called Luna! A few days before I got a package from my good friend Victoria. So I'm just making a post to showcase these lovely new things I got, and my appreciation :)

Those pretzels are DELICIOUS!
Cute Necklace she sent me because I'm always posting pictures of animals with antlers on my tumblr, haha. She knows me too well :)
Awesome little zen garden!!
Victoria has been my friend since late 2006, she contacted me online through MCRF, and we've been friends ever since! She's always been there to listen to me babble on about my day, whats bugging me, whatever, and I try to do the same for her. I'm about to send her a package back, I've taken way too long, eep! Someday we're going to meet in real life and it's gonna be SO AWESOME :)

And the two records we bought:
I am so super pumped about the Black Moth Super Rainbow album ohhh my gosh. It reminds me so much of summer of 2007 and that was the best summer of my life! I love it. And I've loved that Shins for such a long time. I still have the copy one of my cool older friends burnt me in high school haha.

Hope your week is off to a good start!

GLITTER

I've gained a recent obsession with glitter. I guess I've become a magpie. At any rate, I decided to get some gals together to get our glitter on!

Stevi's glitter balls! To hold her makeup brushes :)
Ellie's glitter jar!
Banners by Sophie and I! I keep running out of glitter, my letters are too big. Oh well, more excuses to get more glitter! I'm thinking of making a bunch of bunting banners and selling them through Clash Consignments when they're finished. I'll have to send Mary some photos and see what she thinks.

Glittering with the girls was a lot of fun! I'm really happy I'm getting back in touch with my creative side. It's also a lot of fun to hang out with these three, I can't wait to do it again!
