Something old, Something new...

So this weekend was my friend Alli's bridal shower. I decided to do something for her that was done to me by my best friend Kendilyn. I made her a basket of something old, new, borrowed, and blue. It was really fun and I know that when I got one given to me, I felt like it was thoughtful and even better than anything off of my registry!

So here it is!

Something Old: A picture of Alli and I from a year and a half ago.
Something New: A bottle of Strawberry Pomegranite Italian Soda and two Martini glasses!


Something Borrowed: A basket that was given to me as borrowed :)


And Something Blue: A blue notebook and mini notepad for wedding to-dos and whatnots.




And here is the final product all put together:


It was really fun putting it together for her. Her bridal shower was really fun! She's so cute with her toilet paper veil/headband.

Outlet # 2

Ok so, I lied. Crocheting is not my ONLY creative outlet. I also can become semi-artistic when it comes to mani-pedis, makeup, and hair. I'm making a repitoire of all of my cool nail art that I've been able to create for the month of February. I haven't had much time to paint nails so some of my other exploits from the past aren't on here yet but they will be at some point.

I painted my niece Hannah's nails for her birthday on the 13th. They say "happy b-day" on them with a heart on the pinky.

I also painted hannah's nails for valentines. Little dots and hearts.

I painted my own nails for valentine's (although they didn't last that long). French mani in pink :)

I do love the feeling of being pampered and getting my nails done professionally but unfortunately, I can't always afford it and why get them done all the time when I can do them myself for cheap? :)


oh and as for hair.... well I'm usually into the curls and whatnot but crazy hair day was last week and so I helped out with Hannah once more!

I think I've seen it on the runway anywhere. It's the new fall "struck by lightening" look. lots of volume and hairspray.

My only creative outlet.

So, i've decided to make a photo repertoire of all of my crochet projects that i've done. Since I give a lot of them away i've had to do some hunting down of my friends but they have all helped me out. As I get more pictures back, i'll probably add them onto here but this is what i've got so far!











More to come!
