They got married yesterday and it was lovely! The weather was perfect, the ceremony was lovely and the reception was off the hook, as is often the case with our friends. This one was super cool, The Mummies among others played their party. No joke, it was a real treat!

There are a few more pics in my flickr stream but none from the reception as I was distracted by the open bar. I love these 2, everyone had a wonderful time and I am so happy to have been included!

Here are a few pictures of Audrey over the years, just for some happy-making.

Check.
Now where’s that party anyway? It’s gotta be around here somewhere!

My new fluevogs. It is love!

These are my new Fluevogs. They are the Alli boot and I adore them. Get them here if you want, but you can’t have these ones because they’re mine all mine and I imagine I’ll be wearing them all weekend. Even if it’s 100deg.

I know we’re all crafty and can make our own stuff, but isn’t it nice to have something that you didn’t have to make yourself?

Happy Birthday to MEEEE!

Just check out those great skulls and all the pretty colors! Thanks Crystal, I love them!

The pattern is from an etsy seller who has so kindly granted the right to reproduce items for sale from her pattern!

I adore it in this retro tattoo flash fabric with fun and happy polka dots. I did the ruffles on both sides but it ended up kind of bulky that way so I think I’ll make a few variations before I start more for the shop.

The pattern seller’s etsy shop link is here, this one is the “Ruffle Wristlet”.
Enjoy!

We’re also going to combine the 2 smaller beds in front into one and just make it taller and put herbs and flowers in it. Nothing but vegetables in the back garden and it’s 6′ x 6′.

I planted seeds today, first time that I’ve started from seed, it’s a fun experiment to see what grows in the kitchen. Last year I spent about $80 in plants and got little to no yield from anything we planted. This way, I’ve spent about $30 total and I’m wayyy more invested in the whole endeavor.

What’s growing now? I planted beets, red carrots, swiss chard, 2 kinds fo tomatoes, brussel sprouts, lemon cucumber, green onions, basil, and cilantro. I also started some flower seeds; marigolds, coleus, dahlias, passionflower vines, and chinese lanterns.

Here’s hoping for a bountiful summer!

I managed to finish a few items, and I really want to show off this mitten. It’s not lined yet, not sure if I will, and yes there’s only one so far. Hopefully I’ll finish its mate before the end of winter here.

It’s made from a Fiddlehead Mitten kit from Tanis Fiber Arts and I must say how much I love using their yarn. It’s the yellow line DK and it’s really nice to knit with.
