I mean, this girl just sat down and was like, I'm going to stitch an awesome shirt/sweater. Really? How talented is she? AmAzInG!!!! I want a colorful patterned shirt, some jeans, and this top. ::sigh::

Ok, so in my infinite wannabe crafty life, I decided that I would make a pillow that I saw in a blog post. It looked amazing on the blog post. Let me just tell you! I cut out all the pieces. 60 circles that turn into rosettes. I'll let you know how it turns out. Here are the pieces so far!

Other than pinball scores, I actually found some pretty awesome stuff online today. One crafty thing I want to make, and one green thing that I want to buy.

I am notorious for losing clips and hair ties everywhere I go. I was looking on this Cool Mom Picks blog and came across this awesome idea for a "clippie holder." Love it.

Lastly, I really like the idea for these go green bags that fold up into a ball. Check them out here & you can try to win them at Cool Mom's Picks blog. Good luck!

Inspirations seem so necessary on a Wednesday. Wednesday are haunted with feelings of boredom, exhaustion, and relative discontent that it is not yet Friday.

Today is no ordinary Wednesday though. Today is the first Wednesday of fall weather! I love it. I stumbled upon this photo from Alana Davis Photography. It just summed up my childish excitement about fall. Pumpkins, changing leaves and leave piles to jump in, and fresh apples. I can't wait to venture out with my camera when the colors start changing!


I've also been listening to the 500 Days of Summer soundtrack all afternoon, and it is so relaxing. I found out that you can listen to the tracks on lala for free. So, check them out or if you don't have time for the whole album, youtube has the preview. My favorite (for some unknown reason) is "Quelqunn ma dit" by Carla Bruni. I won't lie to you, I have no idea what that translates to, but theres just something about the song that I love. What's your favorite?

Hi there.

So today I'm working from home. Which is great, don't get me wrong. But I'm tired of sitting in my house unable to get things done. So I surfed the internet, and stumbled across Rag & Bone again (this great handmade book binding business that I'm in love with). While catching up on their blog, I saw that they had made these great Kusudama paper flowers. I'm considering making a bouquet of them for fun. How gorgeous would that be? I feel so inspired!

I hope I have time this weekend to try this out!

Now, more than ever, I'm really getting amped about photography. I spend my time looking at professional photos and wondering how to get those results. People primarily believe that the better the camera, the better the photos. But I can't afford a sweet digital SLR (at least not yet). So, whats a girl to do?

I found some other techniques that are less expensive than a $1000 camera.

• Lomography is the use of a relatively inexpensive camera. Some variations of the camera distort/enhance the color, while others take pictures like out of a "fish-eye".
  
• Through the Viewfinder (TTV) is the art of taking a picture through another camera's viewfinder. The contraptions are pretty crazy, but I might be able to pull it off if I can find a good old camera to use. It will probably look as ridiculous as this one.

Now I just have to try/buy some of them & take some pictures.
