Bears

 

Many parents have sweet pet names for their kids, many of them animal related. My parent's called me bear. I'm not sure how this came to be but they do, sometimes even baby bear. I don't think I am supposed to admit that I love it, but I love it. This is why I have decided when I finally get the nerve to get my first tattoo that it will be a bear. It will be simple like this one, easily hidden and ridiculously small because I am rebellious like that.

 However, there is something about nature drawn onto the skin in that permanent black ink that just seem so right to me. So here are some other (and more detailed) bear or nature related tattoos I like as well:

 

      

I found all of these images through the horridly addicting pinterest and you should follow my personal tattoo board if you want to see more images.  

Bears eat beets. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

Another Photographic Adventure

We have been apreciating the rare scattered days of sun where we can take off our rain parkas and rubber boots, and the other day Kierra and I went on a photoshoot with our new friend Emily. In a few weeks I may even have a roll of 120 film developed from my lovely Holga I may just scan and share with you lovely readers.

Pillows

A while ago I made some pillows as graduation presents for my dear friends, that night I told them I was planning on putting them on the blog and a year and a half later here it is!

Spring is Too Far Away

Winter has barely started but I'm already excited and ready for spring. If you are with me, here are three things to tide you over until the cold winter has blown through and those spring flowers start blooming.

1. How about some springy lemon cupcakes topped with pineapple flowers that I made a while back?

Martha Stewart's Pineapple Flower DIY and my favorite Lemon Drop Cupcake recipe.

2. Speaking of Lemons, here is a bit of Spring Fashion:

Thanks Alice and Olivia

3. Happy Home. Get that spring cleaning done so you can start redecorating!

Apartment Therapy is awesome.

In the meantime here are my top three favorite blogs to help pass the time:

• A Beautiful Mess
• Delightfully Tacky
• Refinery29

Christmas Craft

 

Do it yourself and get creative. Start with a Styrofoam cones, then cover them with different

 things. Could be yarn, could be fabric strips (little strips work best and lay flat easier), buttons, string, etc, whatever you choose make sure you have a lot of hot glue on hand.

Meow-y Christmas!

Don't be normal.

Gobble, Gobble!

Thanksgiving is a time of family, food, parades and Clark Griswold!

So eat up everyone and have a merry Thanksgiving!!!
