Never really thought I could create an entire outfit from scratch, fabric and all.  

Gotta love my knitting machine and a spare day :)

"I think life is too long/To be a whale in a cubicle/Nails under your cuticle"

I've been busy as usual finishing up a freelance project that I'm very excited about - hopefully I can let you in on the details soon.


I've been obsessed with two things this week.  What is the point of life if you can 't have these random obsessions??


Potatoes...my roommate and I picked up a bag of potatoes at the market last week for a mere $2.  I've lost count of how many I've eaten so far; the bag is nearly empty already!

 Baked garlic and herb potato "fries":

 

My new crystal necklace - I always feel like I'm wearing part of a chandelier when I have on this necklace.  My one and only statement necklace so far, but I'm excited to add to the collection.

 

I would love to know - what are you obsessed with this week?


Hair Update:  Still growing it out :)

"And that's a pretty nice haircut Charge it like a puzzle, hit me wearin' muzzles "

I cannot believe it has been a month since my long tresses were chopped off into the shortest haircut I have ever have.  With this somewhat dramatic change in terms of my style, I unsuccessfully attempted a lifestyle change in my daily upkeep.  Short hair meant that my face was now exposed for the world to see, so that meant I actually wore make-up from time to time.  I also started to blow-dry my hair in order to style it from the poofball of a mess it tends to look when I wake up in the mornings.  While I have been wanting to get my ears pierced for some time now, the real incentive that pushed me to do it two weeks ago, was the fact that I need to accessorize about the neck to complement the hair.

While I am not opposed to some sort of hair maintanence routine and I do love the new short hairstyle, I am considering growing it out from this point on.  I am simply too busy/too lazy to keep a styled look that comes often with short cropped locks.  I long for my comfort zone of a "lob" cut and being able to tuck my hair behind my ears.  

I have been gathering a few photos of celebs in an in-between phase of short haircuts as inspiration. 

As I glance at my calendar, I have a decision to make: chop chop again, or let it grow out?  Thoughts?
