playing catch up :: vol II

Hi :)

I follow a lot of blogs (via Bloglovin') and I haven't had a chance to go on there lately to get caught up... I logged in today and it said I had 295 unread posts. O_O

So, it's time for another blog catch up sesh! Here are a few things/posts I loved:

How great are these 2 videos that Kaelah from Little Chief Honeybee shared in her Things I Love Thursday post? She always finds such rad things!


(via)
How exciting is it that Vickie Howell has come out with a self striping yarn? I mean look how great those color combos are! Her other lines [Sheep(ish) and Cotton(ish)] have gorgeous saturated colors and I can't wait to get my hands on this new yarn of hers!


(via)
I love doilies! They are just so pretty to me :) Sandra of Cherry Heart recently posted all about her doily obsession with tons of beautiful pictures and links to all the patterns she used. I will definitely be making some of these for myself. She also has some great tutorials!

How cute and ridiculous is this match up? *sigh* Des Hommes et des Chatons knows how to cheer a girl up that's for sure! lol

Amanda of Little Lady Little City shared this super cute GIF in her Friday Fancies post and it pretty much sums up what I love about fall... PIE!!!


That's it for now. I'll share another catch up session with you guys again soon! If you haven't done it yet, check out the list of blogs I follow here, or click on the links I've included in this post!

See you tomorrow!

playing catch up

Hi :)

I've been feeling so behind on my blog reading lately! I go to blogloving to get caught up and there's like 200+ posts I haven't read yet... Yikes! Slowly getting through them all this morning/today though. I just can't stay away! haha

Here are some recent favorite posts from a few of my blog favorites:

I've mentioned the Des Hommes et des Chatons tumbler before... There will be many shared posts from them in the future because, well I love kitties and the pairings that they do just make me smile :)

I love Alisa's art work. Both she and her husband are so so talented and they both have such different artistic styles. Their daughter is quite the little artist as well ;) I just love when she shows peaks into her sketchbook... They're all so colorful and inspiring.

I love when Kaylah posts her weekly nail posts. I wish my nails could look this fabulous... My polish always chips after day 1 from washing dishes and whatnot lol

(via)
Sarah posted this the other day, and I have to say that I can relate to this comic strip as well. I am horrible at receiving compliments. I just don't know how to respond!


I love everything about this outfit!
And I love everything about this girl! [More on my love for her in another post;)]

(via)
I found this on Pinterest (not any of the blogs I follow), but since it has to do with Harry Potter and current events (and it's funny) I squeezed it in ;)

There's so many other good posts that I'm reading today, but if I posted them all, this post would be forever long! I'll most likely be sharing more of my favorite posts from other blogs again next week, so keep your eyes peeled for the greatness!!

Do you follow a lot of blogs?
Do you find yourself playing catch up too?

I hope you're having a great day :)

I'll see you back here tomorrow! Yay!

progress :: vol III + reaching out

Hi :)

I hope you all had a great weekend!

I am so excited to report that I have completed part of my reading goal, and have moved on to book number 2 in the Harry Potter series!! I am so proud of myself for really sticking to this goal. It's a great start to future goal making and keeping up with those goals!

 I know I've only been blogging a couple of weeks now, but I noticed that I have quite a few page views (thanks to some mentions and what not, [Thanks Debi!])

I wanted to take this opportunity to open up a Q & A for you guys, in case anyone wanted to ask me anything (and I mean anything!) 

I will do my best to answer anything you guys ask! 

I'd also love to know what you guys think of the blog so far...
Is there anything you want to see more of? See less of?
Let me know!! Honesty is the best policy!

Once I get enough questions together, I'll do a post where I share my answers.

Thank you for visiting! If you are a follower, many thanks for your support! It really means a lot :)

I'll leave you now with an incredibly cute kitty I found shared on my friend Sarah's blog:

Gaaawwwww!!

Have a great day and I will see you tomorrow for our next Crochet 101 lesson!

a little cheering up

Hi :)

I hope your week is going well. Are you staying cool?

This heat is really bumming me out... So what do I do to feel better? Well, besides looking at pictures of yarn, (seriously, I could do that all day), I visit one of my many favorite Tumblr blogs: Des Hommes et des Chatons. It brings two of some of the cutest things together: kittens and gorgeous men! 

Here are a few of my favorite posts...

Because I love him too.

...and 1 more for good measure

"HA HA HA!"

I hope that made your day a little better :)
