10 things I'm Loving This Week

Hey guys, I know I haven't posted anything in a little while, I've been really busy with school plus I had an unexpected guest last week. That's right, my mom came down and spent the week with me. It was quite great to have her all to myself and we had tons of fun together! We made a few new recipes and I showed her how to make bagels, which was great as I got to try some new flavours, which I'll hopefully be posting soon!

I'm getting back on my knitting wagon today, after having inadvertently taken a 2 week break but before I do that, I thought I'd share of few of my favourite things this week!

10. Pocket Watch Necklaces. I've been in love with these since the summer when I first discovered them. I've yet to buy one, but it's definitely on my list. I found these on Etsy, just put: pocket watch necklace, in the search bar and you'll find a wide range of these beauties in a variety of styles ranging from sophisticated, cute and even steampunk!

9. Since today is St. Patrick's day, it's only fitting that I have a little bit of Irish inspiration. This cute knitted cap for children was found over on...wait for it....Etsy of course.

8. Metric! One of my favouirte bands hailing from good ol' Montreal. Their music always makes me happy and Emily Haines is a sexy rock god with an awesome wardrobe. If you have a chance to see them live, take it! You won't regret it! They put on a rockin' energetic show.

7. These are so adorable, they make me squeal with happiness.

6. I know the Oscars all long gone and done with, but I can't help but still admire the gorgeous-ity of this dress!

5. Speaking of gorgeous dresses, this one worn by Elsie writer of the blog: A Beautiful Mess, makes my heart thumper with glee.

4. Lightbulb Terrariums! I saw an article on how to make these a long time ago while surfing Gizmodo but have never attempted to make them as they seemed overly complicated. However, this morning, I found an article on Etsy that linked to a blog that showed detailed instructions on how to make these. Now I'm even more interested in trying my hand at these, but unfortunately you need specific things to put into them and I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere. Maybe it'll make a nice summer project!

3. Victorian Style Neck Cowls. I'm a huge history buff and victorian fashion is highly remembered for a reason: it's beautiful! So it's no wonder I would be in love with these!

2. Audrey Tautou. This woman has been one of my favourite actors since I saw Amelie years ago. Since then, her popularity has risen and my love for her continues to grow. I finally got a chance to see Coco Avant Channel when my mother came down last week and we really enjoyed it. 

1. Tree Shaped Bookcase. It's cute, I want it. Simple as that. 

That's all for now,

Have a great day!

10 Things I'm Loving This Week

I've been meaning to upload this for a bit now but I was kinda busy, so here for your enjoyment: 10 awesome things that I'm in love with right now!

10. Spinach salad is one of my new found loves! I have one almost everyday, they are sooooo delicious! Plus I find that it fills me up more than a regular salad and it doesn't get all mushy if you add the dressing in the morning before you leave. I like to put chopped egg, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, chives, and carrots in mine. Sometimes I add pitted sunflower seeds and a bit of pesto with my dressing which of late has been a nice, slightly creamy, roasted garlic dressing.

9. My shower curtain...it's just neat looking.  

8. Stitch 'N Bitch yarn! Actually the brand is called Stitch Nation, anyway, I almost fell of my chair when I found out that author of Stitch 'N Bitch greatness Debbie Stoller had her own brand of yarn. Unfortunately, it seems to only be available in the States right now, but I'm keeping my hopes up for a Canada release soon. It come in three different kinds of wool and a variety of lovely, bright colours. Just look at the pretties!

7. Christina Hendricks. She's just an amazing actor and such a gorgeous looking woman. I know I've written about her on the blog before, be she's just so great that she deserves a second mention, plus I gotta support a fellow sister of large and natural breasts. I remember talking about her red hair and how I wish mine was such a colour...turns out that Mrs. Hendricks is a natural blond and has been dying her hair since she was a kid. Now if only I could figure out which brand she uses.

6. Vintage typewriters. I've always wanted an old Underwood in working condition.

5. Cute Diana and instant cameras from Urban Outfitters. I want the Diana mini kit bellow!

4. Dave and I have been enjoying a Firefly marathon the last week or so and I always find myself saddened when the last episode plays. I still cannot believe the stupidity that is Fox for ruining such an amazing show. The film Serenity pretty much makes me cry as I know that it is the last that I shall ever know of these great characters. Oh and I want, no scratch that, I NEED to learn how to make Jayne's hat!

 3. Yetis! I have a strange soft spot for these furry mythical creatures; I have a pair of gloves that look like yeti hands that I wear everyday. 

Okay so I know this last one isn't a Yeti, it's actually a Sashquatch, but I mean common! How cute is Quatchi?! He's the best Olympics mascot ever and I have a small plushie of him in my bedroom to snuggle with. 

2. I found this on Gizmodo the other day. What a unique way to "hide" electrical wires.

1. Alice in Wonderland, the iPhone game. I purchased it the other day and its quite fun for an iPod game, could have been cheaper but I'm enjoying it none the less; plus the game play is a decent length.
