weekend update.

I made my first Etsy sale on Friday and I am ecstatic!

Last week my boss had me cook her leftover pumpkins from Halloween so she could make some pumpkin goodies. There were two big pumpkins and she had so much she didn't know what to do with it all, so she gave some to me. All week long I've been thinking about delicious pumpkin flavored recipes that I could use it for. I finally decided on making pumpkin soup, and that is what I did today.

It was delicious. I scraped the bowl clean.

I FINALLY cleaned my room. Not like a "I put everything away, mostly" kind of clean, like REALLY cleaned and slightly reorganized it. I even hung a few more things on the wall, got rid of some old junk that I was holding onto for who knows what reason, and found a few things that I thought I had lost.

Another thing that I did after a long time of waiting was giving myself a little fringe trim. My fringe was all the way past my eyes, I could not see if I wore it straight down. But now look...

...they are the perfect length (almost, it was as close as I could get myself). I like having them straight across, it just takes so much upkeep. I feel like it needs to be trimmed every week, and let's face it, I just won't keep up with that. But for now, I like them this way, so they shall stay at least for a little while.

And now I'm off to get ready for a girl's night! Can't wait to see Jaymee and hear about her mini-honeymoon and see pictures from her wedding last weekend. Stay tuned this week for some Christmas-ness, some fried goodies, and hopefully a project or two.

There aren't enough hours in a day.

Seriously, there are not enough hours in each day. That is how I've been feeling for about the last week now. I feel like its so hard to get all the things I want to done every day, and I don't know why this is. I only work part-time. Maybe I've been spending too much time crafting...but I certainly don't want to cut down my craft time, I love my crafting time. Or maybe I'm just being a little lazy, I do that sometimes. Well today, I actually did get a few things done and crossed off my list. One of those things was blogging, another was going for a run, and I actually cleaned my room today, well I started to but I made significant progress. My room was seriously a disaster area.

So I have a few pictures of my garlands (they didn't come out that great though) that I promised I would post the other day.

I also did a little baking yesterday. My first fall-themed baking of the year. I love when its fall and I can make all kinds of pumpkin goodies! I love making pumpkin pie from scratch and decorating the pie crusts with little leaves and acorns. I made some delicious pumpkin cookies for a little fall gathering we had last night.

I'm still crossing my fingers that I'll be able to get together with Marisa sometime in the next week. One, so I can finally hear about her engagement and wedding plans. And two, so she can help me make my blog and etsy shop look a little more pretty.

Come back tomorrow for some festive fall pumpkins!

more leaves.

I cut more leaves out. Now I have lots of leaves in lots of colors. I'm going to start putting it together tonight and see if I need to cut out anymore. I was going to try and start it today, but I haven't been feeling that well. No matter what I do lately, I'm always so tired. Everyday. It doesn't matter how much sleep I get or how much coffee I drink, I'm just always tired. Although I do need to get myself on a better sleeping pattern, I've been staying up way too late when I don't have to get up early the next morning.

A little sneak peek of all the leaves. Sorry the color is so horrible.

weekend update.

I've been pretty productive in the crafting department so far this weekend. I'm able to cross off reading my book and finishing my blanket and I'm halfway done with my fall leaf garland. There are still a few more colors that I want to put in the garland, so I have to go searching for some more felt. It's kind of hard to find pretty colors of felt sometime. I think putting the fall wreath on the list was a little too ambitious, maybe I'll put that on the list for sometime this week, along with going to buy my next book to read, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, by Steig Larsson.

here's a little sneak peek of the leaves I made:
