Playing Catch Up

Hello Friends! I feel like I am perpetually apologizing for my inconsistent blogging. But here is another I’m sorry for neglecting my blog. However, I have been super busy! And I thought I would put up a little photo diary post of what I have been doing the last month. 

These cold winter months just call for lots of reading, so I have been diving into great reads just as Mindy Kaling’s Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? and Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms. And I have been working on sketching some dress designs, I hope to start selling my own designs in my shop by the end of the year. 

On Valentine’s Day I made a heart shaped brownies (all thanks to my Ma) for the Hubster’s class.

We have taken in a stray dog (Rocky) from our neighborhood because she was limping around on her front leg and the temperatures were getting down to -51 degrees Celsius. She’s only staying with us until she heals up, then we hope to find her a  permanent home, even though she does fit in here with the family perfectly. 

I have been slowly working on new pieces for my shop. I hope to have some great, sunny colored items for spring.

I have been experimenting with nude makeup. I have always been into super red lips and (well I can be honest) over done eye shadow. But lately I have done away with eye shadow, toned down the bright red lips and started adding a touch of blush. I love the effortless look, although I can promise you the red lips will be back.

I have been watching the gorgeous snow pile up outside my window.

And the hubster and I have been out and about enjoying this wonderful winter in our new town. We’ve built a mitchuap, gone to see his school kids play hockey and broomball, attended some great parties and jam sessions, and met a lot of cool people. 

Also, I got the opportunity to work for Special Education Services at the school for a week. Something I hope to pursue more in the future. 

What have you guys been up to? Tell me how you are getting through the winter months.

much love.
