oh hai I ramble

Phew what a week so far! Things are moving by so fast as of late. It's hard to stop for a minute and remember to enjoy it all. The past few weeks I have been into the idea of redecorating my apartment and making it even more awesome than it is now. There will be painting, taking pictures down and putting them back up and making sooo many awesome things. Today I worked on fulfilling my new goal of having a million pillows and blankets, all handmade. Household items that are handmade are just so much better. You can feel the love and hard work that was put into them every time you see them or snuggle up to them. When our friends and family come over and stay or just hang out I want them use a blanket crocheted by myself, or a pillow that I sewed so that they know how much I love them!

Haha my rambling is done for the moment. You get the point. So here is a pillow I finished for my guy a few weeks ago and just never got around to posting the pictures. The bicycle stencil I got from Sublime Stitching. Jenny Hart is amazing, go check out the interview over on A Beautiful Mess that was posted today. There is a link in the interview to some indie business advice that Jenny has given but I just wanted to double check that everyone interested reads it here!

On to the sharing of my surprise new job. Can't tell just yet! It's recently dawned on me that internet land and reallife land mix together some times so once I can share I will. But let me tell you, I am all wiggly giggly about what might happen. But something fun in the meantime! I took some pictures of the bakery that I work at. Enjoy!

That's where I got at 3am to make mass amounts of bread! Yum Yum. Lately we have been getting into a lot of other things such as huge cookies, mini bunt cakes, regular layer cakes and all sorts of fun treats! I wish it wasn't so dangerous to take my camera to the bakery, but with my luck something terrible would happen. Oh well! I hope everyone has a wonderful evening. Talk to you all soon.

  6. I want to work in a bakery too, those pictures just made me so excited! I love your pillow and I hope you don't mind but I saved your picture of the back detail to my computer, we are also a "C+M" so whenever I see it in random spots I have to have a picture...for personal use only, obviously! Last week I found us engraved in a sidewalk tile with a sloppy heart...loved it! I feel like there are little signs all over life that remind me how magial our relationship really is. Much Love sister!
