Handmade Goodies

Since beginning this blog I've had the pleasure of "meeting" a lot of you talented ladies out there. Not so much meet in the sense of face to face, but establishing more of an online friendship.

From blogging I have found two incredibly talented ladies, one who quilts and one who knits.

After seeing J's quilts on her blog, I knew I had to have one. A couple of weeks ago my finshed quilt arrived in the mail and I was blown away! It is simply perfect and I love this quilt that was made especially for me.



Even Boomer loves the quilt!



Since I'm not a knitter I was willing to shell out a pretty penny for a cute knit hat, but no need! M, over at Full of Heart, knitted me two adorable and perfect knit hats that were an amazing deal and she's actually knitting me two more because I loved the first two so much.



You've seen me in one of them before, I posted this pic last month sometime.



So..if you're not the craftiest person around it pays to have friends who are. :)

Fall Fashion

So, as we all know I have a really unhealthy addiction to Forever 21. I found two things that I know are going to have to make it into my already overstuffed closet.

Exhibit A:



Exhibit B:


I'm not really a fan of hats, but this cloche hat is too cute. I have a big head though and so I'm wondering if it would look good on me.

I'm also digging on some of the sweaters on that site. However, I'm getting ready to buy a new, expensive camera, SO I know I can't be buying stuff from there right now. After I get my camera paid for, yes. Until then, no.

Oh..and I just had to mention this new website I found. EyesLipsface.com. They have such good deals on makeup. I'm talking $1! Now, I wouldn't buy my foundation there, I use PUR or Bare Minerals, but for nails and lips, I think it's a steal!
