DIY Friday: Cupake Beanie

I alluded to some handmade Christmas gifts quite a while ago that I wanted to share with you and now I can.  Here's a little something I made for my mom, which I think it totally adorable and totally easy.  Happy Friday!

Would you like fries with that?

Even though this cold weather seems to be getting everyone down, I think it's the perfect time to pull out some bright colors. I absolutely love the cut and fit of this dress because it looks vintage.  I got it at a Buffalo Exchange about a year ago and googled the designer on the tag, Trina Turk.  Turns out her dresses cost around the range of $300-$400 and I got this one for only $30!  Even better is the wonderful burger and fries broach my friend Sarah got for me at an antique store.

I do not want to be a cat lady.

Despite appearances, I am not a cat person.  My mom is (or I guess was since she doesn't appear to be anymore) allergic to cats so I developed a dislike for them.  I started to like them when they became a novelty to me instead of an animal.  Kittens are adorable and there's no denying that, but I don't exactly want one around all the time.  I think my real problem with them is that they are constantly playing games with you.  They know how to leave you wanting more.  I started photographing them on my walks and realized that I have become a sort of cat lady, but maybe a modern cat lady, the kind that will never own one.  That being said, I really want a dog.  Perhaps one day...

Misty Monday

Even though today was probably the coldest of the winter, Leanne and I went on a very long walk in search of BLTs and coffee.  I think we surprised some of the Austinites who looked like they were dressed for snow.

Happy Friday!

Today's sponsors of silliness are:
the van parked in the dirt field with stuff scattered around it and a sign that says "cool things"
Zapatos the cat
Stanley Kubrick
and the strange water bubbles I poked with a pipe


I don't expect you to understand this, I don't quite understand it myself.


Happy Friday!
