i might have to print EVERY single tutorial on her site for future reference (the whole "we don't have internet at the apt" thing really can be a bit of a prob at times.).

i can't wait for the weather to get a bit cooler. w + i find ourselves staying home a lot more during the fall and winter months. which means i get a whole lot of projects finished! speaking of which - it's about time to start working on christmas presents! :) i definitely learned last year that if you're going to do DIY gifts you can't start in december!

okay okay - what's your ultimate must do embroidery project at the moment?

{whatever wednesday} 30 hairstyles in 30 days

i basically wear my hair the exact same way every day. i remember thinking that when my hair finally grew out, i'd go crazy w/ new styles. but let's face it - i rarely wake up w/ enough time to try something new.

today i stumbled upon abby at my yellow sandbox's 30 hairstyles in 30 days challenge. and am pretty excited to try several of her easy tutorials:
