Insta-update

     

1. I took a day off life last week and made a new dress! It’s not quite finished but I’m absolutely smitten it.

2. Boyfriend are both from the west coast so my roomie’s family took us in for Thanksgiving. They have an amazing gorgeous house right on an amazing gorgeous lake and it’s pretty much impossible to do anything there but stare.

3. New glasses! I’m so in love. I’ve worn glasses in public maybe five times since I got glasses when I was nine, and I’ve been wearing these everywhere for a straight week. 

4. Had to stop on the way home for a quick jumping photo, of course. Wish my necklace hadn’t hit me in the face though.

5. Roomie and I took a study break this evening to pot some basil she sprouted last week. Lookit the baby basils!

6. Andd this is what my life is going to look like for the next three weeks. 

 

Welp, the next several weeks are going to be brutal. School finishes on the 11th (technically we have class on the 17th too), and between and then I have eleven papers to write. ELEVEN. I did the math, it’s 51 pages minimum.

Excuse me as a crawl into a fetal position and cry.

On the bright side, it’s supposed to snow on Tuesday!

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving!

1. This is my favorite breakfast in the world. I’m by no means a morning person but ever since I discovered this stuff I’m up at 9am every morning out of sheer excitement. I’m not exaggerating. I use Country Choice Organic Steel Cut Oats, half a cup of the huge Costco bag of frozen mixed berries, half a cup of unsweetened almond milk, and half a cup of water. Sheer heaven, I tell you.

2. Remember like ten years ago when I announced I was making bunny slippers? Well, felting one slipper was apparently too traumatizing and the project has been sitting in a box gathering dust until last week when I went to the store (which is exactly 0.75 blocks away from my house, I might add) and picked up a pair of gloves. And now I have a complete set! How adorbs are they??

3. Remember like fifteen years ago when I decided to make a sweater (nearly) from scratch with my own handspun yarn? Well I randomly got on a spinning kick two weeks ago and made a ton of yarn..

4. ..anddd started knitting a sweater from it! The pattern is this one by Pickles and hilariously calls for a yarn called Thick and Thin, which I find funny because I’m so bad at spinning that my yarn comes out that way by default.

It’s been a good day. I had two papers/projects that I needed to get done by today and while I was skeptical that they would get done, I was somehow sucked into a magical tunnel of productivity and finished both before 4pm.

Crossing my fingers I’ll have time for a sewing sesh this weekend, I’m getting antsy!
