I sure would love to cozy up into one of these beauties, especially the last sweater ;)

This weekend I will be doing the usual; reading, crocheting, and knitting. Maybe some Harry Potter watching ;)

This weather is perfect for all those things!

What are your weekend plans?

See you Monday!!

lust list :: vol 7

Hi :)

When I was in middle school and high school, I always wore my hair up. 80% of the time I would have a cute little hair clip in my hair too.

Since I cut my hair a few weeks back, I've been dying to put in hair accessories!

Here are a few I've been eyeing:

(via)
How cute is this starfish clippy? My inner mermaid goddess is saying "You need that!"


(via)
This bow is super cute, and it's sparkly!


(via)
My favorite flower is the orchid so this one was an obvious choice.


(via)
This lacy blue barrette is super adorable! I love lacy hair accessories!


(via)
I love this rasta headband!

That's it for today's lust list. See you tomorrow!

Do you wear hair accessories?

lust list :: vol 6

Hi :)

Anyone who truly knows me, knows I have an obsession with leopard print. So today's lust list is inspired by this glorious print of the leopard.

This hooded zip up jacket looks so comfy! I would like one in either color... or both!!

(via)
This sweater is amazing.

I think I could rock this dress (the one on the right). Looks like it would be great at hiding tummy fluffiness :)


(via)
I love the color of the flower and this bow is just so cute!



(via)
I love this phone case! (and the colors totally match the bow)


I couldn't find any decent shoes or purses that I liked, go figure. I'll probably find them when I'm not looking haha

See you tomorrow friend!

lust list :: vol 5

Hi :)

So happy it's Friday! Sheesh this week has been long.

If you haven't noticed or didn't know by now, I love yarn.
I love yarn, and I love crochet. And leopard print, but we'll save that for another day lol

Today's Lust List is inspired by some yarny pictures I just can't get enough of. 

Enjoy!

I could look at yarn all day. Sad, maybe, but it's true lol

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

See you Monday friend :)

lust list :: vol 4

Hi :)

I hope your week has been going well.

Today I'm sharing some things I would love to have right now or get as a gift just because, or for my birthday, or Mother's Day, or whenever really haha

Enjoy!

This iced coffee brewer set from Starbucks!

So perfect for me! No more instant coffee!! haha

This yarn ball winder I found on Amazon!

I have so many saggy skeins that need to be rolled into a ball and so many balls of yarn that need to be rewound... I just want it all to look somewhat neat!

Knitting needles!! I'm not a pro knitter, so I'm not sure which set would be best for a beginner (circular or straight). I heard bamboo is best for beginners... Any pros out there with recommendations? :) I really want to learn!

This purse! OMG! I NEED it in my life!!!

I LOVE this shirt!! *tear* 
I first saw it on my buddy Allison's blog (isn't she a babe?) and my jaw literally dropped open... and then I said (out loud... to myself), "WANT!" 

Hopefully I will become a proud owner of one or more of these things in the (near) future! *crossing fingers*

Do you keep lists of things you see online that you just HAVE to have?

This weekend, my best friend Eva is taking me with her to one of her meetings with her trainer... She has been competing in body building shows lately and has been doing really well! Like top 5 and first place well! I'm so proud of her determination and her success :) She is so positive and so inspiring and it makes me happy to have that kind of energy around me.
I'm excited to go behind the scenes a bit and see her in her element :) Maybe I can sneak a few pics to share with you guys!


I'll be sure to sneak in some reading and crochet as well, of course, to share with you all on Monday.

Do you have any special plans for this weekend?
Are you or anyone you know into fitness training/body building or eating healthier?

Have a great weekend, friend!!

lust list :: vol III

Hi :)

Happy Friday!

I hope your week is going amazingly! 

Have you been following along in my Crochet 101 series? If so, that is great! I hope you're having fun learning something new :)

Today's Lust List features the artwork from Annya Kai.

Seriously, I want EVERYTHING!!! Here are my top 5 favorites in her Etsy shop:

This Peacock in Full Bloom is absolutely gorgeous!

This Mom & Baby Hanging Sloths print! I love sloths, and it reminds me of my son and myself :) Plus the colors?! GAH!

This Panda!

This Little Red Riding Hood - Dark Fairytale is so simple and mysterious, but so gorgeous!

and last, but certainly not least

This beautiful Snowy Owl print reminds me of Hedwig :)

Aren't these stunning?!! The colors! The details! If I was rolling in the dough, I swear I would be clearing out this woman's stock!

One day... haha


You can find her art prints and cards in her Etsy shop. She also makes iPhone cases and other accessories, which you can find on her Society6 page. For other various items, you can check her out on Zazzle.

You can also "add" her as a friend on Facebook to see what she's up to!

Please, if you have a moment, check out her work. 

*While her  official website is currently under construction, I wanted to add it for when it is back up and running.

Have a great weekend!

lust list :: vol II

Hi :)

Happy Friday!!

I hope your week has been going well.

Did you start any of the tutorials in my Crochet 101 series? How is it going so far? Good I hope :) I hope you are as excited about learning crochet as I am to show you!



I don't know about you, but...

FACT: I love handbags! (Really, what girl doesn't?!)

The most bags I've had at one time was I think 8. Maybe not a lot to some, maybe way too many, but it was the perfect amount of selection to me.

I haven't actually used a purse in almost 5 years. Basically since I had my son. Everything I needed was in his diaper bag, and now in a mini backpack.

I have been computer screen shopping (online version of window shopping) a lot lately and the one of the items I have been searching for most is handbags.

Here are some I've been lusting over:

This bag from Baggu.com

Perfect bag for yarny projects on the go! And not only is it a perfect print (alpaca!!!), the price is so affordable! I mean, come on! $12?! And the shipping is cheap.

This bag from Target

I love the color, the size, and the style of this bag!

These 2 bags from Pacsun

(source)
I love the colors and patterns on both of these! Makes me miss working at Pacsun for my discount haha

And last, but definitely not least, this purse from Aldoshoes.com

There are so many things I love about this bag! The shape/style, the color, the doily/lace pattern on the outside, and the inside is so spacious! I would literally DIE if I had this purse!!!

Crossing my fingers that I will own one of these purses soon/someday!!

Are you in love with handbags too?

I hope you have a good weekend!! I don't have any major plans, but I'm hoping to put a huge dent in my reading goal!

See you on Monday, friend :)
