Sisters

I know I haven't posted any crafts in a little bit. I have been working on projects. But also been busy with other stuff I want to share specifically this...

This is a picture of me and my two younger sisters on Thanksgiving. I really can't get over it. I'll prob frame it and put it on my wall I love it so much. I only wish I had my final and older sister in it. I'm very hopeful to get one when she comes to visit in a couple weeks. This picture says so much to me. Just how different/similar we are. I can see similar features but I feel this shot captures a little bit of our different personalities. Although I'm not super close to my family at all this just serves as a good reminder that I am really grateful for my family.

Mukluks!!!

One of my new loves as of late: MUKLUKS! They're even fun to say. Add in that they're super cute and I know you're asking Santa for some too! I'm trying to pick the perfect ones but lets be honest I suck at favorites. What do you think the chances are of getting 3??? And closet space is a whole other issue. (sad)
These cuties are from csn stores for only $30. Not what I originally wanted in a mukluk but they're soooooo cute!Gotta love the navy stripes in these Ugg's at Nordstrom. Sadly way out of my price range. Oh well I already own too many navy striped items.

Love that these ones are a wedge. And only $24 at Walmart. I love good Walmart finds. I'm a bit iffy on cream. I see them getting really dirty and gross. I love the suede on them though. and I'd probably just cut off the pompoms. Way cute though right??

What can I say? Red! Stripes! $14 at old navy!! I might have to go pick these up for myself tomorrow! One downside they're technically slippers however in the customer reviews someone said they work fine wearing them outside. I am so in love! You're thinking are those boots belonging to where's waldo? That's just an added bonus in my book. Too cute!!
I love the gray marbled ones. $35.49 at overstock.com Sounds perfect. I went into this search hoping for gray and I love these ones. I love marbled yarn. So what do you think? Probably that I'm selfish? Or a shopaholic? I might be a bit selfish at times and definitely a shopaholic. But at least I do my homework for my Christmas wish list right? (I just thought about it, I've looked at literally over 3,000 boots. No lie) I like to think that shows commitment to good deals. I like to be as frugal as I can but still love to dress very trendy. Just a skill I have.

Brown Beanie

Today I whipped out this beanie. Another one with a brim of course. Love them! I didn't put the strap and buttons on this one though. Can't decide if I should add that?? And I have to put a disclaimer on these pics. I wanted to get pics of this posted but I was starting to get into pajamas and get all grungy for the night. My hair is covering a tank I promise! And I promise I didn't look this nuts today.


But aside from looking totally goofy and have a creepy face in the first pic... Do you like the hat? It's a great color. Fell in love with the yarn at walmart the other day so only a couple bucks spent on this. (I might have even finished it up during church looking like a grandma crocheting :)) Also, do you not love this unruly red hair? I have officially fallen in love. Why couldn't I have been born with such nice red hair? I secretly hope that somehow all my daughters will inherit red hair. With Thanksgiving coming up I have to say I'm grateful for hair dye! :)

Shirt Re-do

Don't mind my awkward face. This pic was the best shot of the shirt in my poorly lit student apartment. Anyways I made this!!!
Just made rosettes like you would for hair flowers and added them to this shirt. I never wear this shirt but it's been in the closet and I couldn't get rid of it (surprisingly, I'm happy to throw anything out) so now new shirt! and 100% free!! the rosettes were just scrap material I had around. I even made an extra matching hair flower. Just try to get over the goofy picture if you can :)
