completely amazing

i'm completely in awe of the amazing, gorgeous and unique tattooing style of amanda wachob.

images, amanda wachob

this is exactly the style of tattoo i've been pining over for a few years now. I spotted this tattoo, based on the work of amazing etsy artist my folk lover, ages ago and fell in love with the natural, watercolor style of it.

it's love.

a murder: in four acts

we were in glamorous california.

My Kit McKits Turn 6 Today.
No party or anything, just a few extra snuggles.


happy birthday to grey cat and black cat!
(yes, those are their names, but its grable and mingy for short)


CORRECTION!
They turned FIVE!
No one ever accused me of being a math genius.

super special something

so, before Christmas I was busy knitting and sewing and doing all that stuff so I could get all my handmade gifts done in time. i also had started on a big project to which i cannot disclose, however, it has been taking up all of my free time in the last 30 days, and i'm pretty excited about it.
i'm nearly done and i am super excited about it.

as i said, it's a surprise and i cannot disclose anything.

but its only cause i love you.

he has a super cute blog you would be dumb not to read.

new year's was so fun, drank too much (see photo) and
danced and walked a lot.
a lot.

don't believe in modern love

so i was browsing ffffound (le fave) which led me over to swissmiss (another le fave) which led me to, drumroll please - pop+shorty...

ok so i don't usually talk about other paper companies, you know, i've got to pay a .02% portion of the rent. (we could bounce that up to a .07% if you people bought some more stuff, ahem, clears throat)

anyway, i really really like their design style and their website is adorable.
see below for some of my favorite things....




i simply remember my favorite things
and then i don't feeeeeel soooo bad.

i may be crafty, but i would NEVER think of this.

this DIY is truly truly GENIUS.
