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. 

10 Things I'm Loving This Week

I've seen people post these in blogs before and they look like fun to write. I personally like making lists to keep track of all the things going on in my life, but this one gives me a chance to be a bit more creative as well as share some of favorite things.

10. I'm obsessed with Lost! I've been watching from episode #01, however I, like many others, quickly lost interest halfway through season 2 when questions seemed to constantly pile up and answers were few and far between. My hatred of all things Lost managed to stick with me up until this summer when my BF Dave convinced me to watch it with him from the beginning in anticipation of the final season. I'm not so sure if Lost actually belongs in my love category, unless "love to hate" counts. Lost and I have always had a rocky love/hate relationship, but I'm still quite interested to see what the last season will bring us and I sure hope that it will stop disappointing (I didn't really like the first two episodes) and bring on the goodness!

I hope we get a lot more Charlie and Desmond in this season and whole lot less of Jack, whom I'm increasingly hating more with every episode. He's one of the least interesting characters and yet gets the most screen time. I could ramble all day about my hatred of Jack...but I probably shouldn't.

9.  Hamsters! I don't really have any pets; I have a fishy whom I love! His name is Sgt. Pepper and he's yellow in colour with little black spots, but I can't cuddle him. I really want something warm and fuzzy to nuzzle with and since my landlord won't let us have a dog, I've been setting my eyes on cute little baby hamsters! Now if only I could convince Dave...

8. Tea Pot jewelry! Thanks to Tim Burton's new Alice in Wonderland, teapot jewelry has been popping up on Etsy more than ever and I'm loving it! Now if only I had the cash flow to buy all these pretties...

The last one is just too adorable not to add! Plus it fits in with the whole Alice theme with the mushrooms and all. 

7. Cool decals for apple laptops that incorporate the logo into the art.

6. Colourful tights. I love to wear tights! It's one of the reasons I love winter so much. Colourful tights, as well as unique patterns are fun to wear.

5. Vintage owls. These wooden vintage, hand painted owls are very cute. I love all the details and design that went into making these.

4. Colourful yarn balls. I wish I was super rich so that I could adorn my apartment with beautiful, colour rich yearns.

3. Cute handmade ipod cozies. I'm currently working on making my own, will keep you guys updated on that. Might take a little while because I'm having a hard time figuring out my pattern as I'm trying to create it with my very basic knitting knowledge.

2. Mustaches! Or I should probably be more specific: fake mustaches! They're awesome and quite funny as well as cute depending on what you add them too, like this adorable necklace or those cute mugs!

1. Robot Art! I'm obsessed with robots as well as art so it only makes sense that I would love the combination of the two! I'm always doodling robots into my notebooks and this one makes me smile.

Enjoy!
