<div style="text-align: center;">My husband and his brother spent some time this past month, clearing out some places around the pond in the front field. It has been decades since it has been in use, so we were excited to get down there with some lines and bait. We drug down the flat bottom boat and wasted some time floating around. Didn't catch a thing, but I didn't mind a bit. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_981WSKWlpM/TeWuokss2tI/AAAAAAAABdE/VuTtpm5rxCU/s1600/104SSCAM1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_981WSKWlpM/TeWuokss2tI/AAAAAAAABdE/VuTtpm5rxCU/s640/104SSCAM1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vthl5Jn7sgw/TeWvFy0FEjI/AAAAAAAABdI/NRIygCBgzC8/s1600/104SSCAM2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vthl5Jn7sgw/TeWvFy0FEjI/AAAAAAAABdI/NRIygCBgzC8/s640/104SSCAM2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iTdJZ2uXd4k/TeWvi7XlMqI/AAAAAAAABdM/lK3GxfYVtNk/s1600/SDC10127.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iTdJZ2uXd4k/TeWvi7XlMqI/AAAAAAAABdM/lK3GxfYVtNk/s640/SDC10127.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />

They are totally cute and comfortable. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is a version of my favorite outfit to wear with them so far. Though most of my outfit is thrifted and the pants are I <3 Ronson. I also threw in my favorite new blush, which I won from Lucky mag and Tarte!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I have been a bit busy lately. I bought a car this weekend!!! And now I am so ready for a road trip, but that will have to wait a while. As you can see, I am already gearing for summer, but I have a while to wait for that too. And, just to let ya'll know, what prompted me to make this set was a giveaway from the lovely blog, <a href="http://www.hivennn.blogspot.com/">hivennn</a>. There are two winners, one will win a pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes of their choice, and another will win a Club Monaco ring! This giveaway will be going until Jan. 30th so get <a href="http://hivennn.blogspot.com/2011/01/jeffrey-campbell-giveaway.html">over there</a> and enter! There are so many amazing shoes to choose from, this is just one of the pairs that I would love. I am totally feeling the 60s & 70s vibe this year.</div><div><div style="height: 500px; position: relative; text-align: center; width: 500px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/what_hivennn_is_givin/set?.embedder=1484641&.mid=embed&id=27501511" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="what hivennn is givin" border="0" force="1" height="500" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFk5KelFpa2NvNEJHaU5OTDNCNGhrVFEAAAACaWQKAXgAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" title="what hivennn is givin" width="500" /></a></div></div><br />

Homer Simpson said it best. So, I went to check on my Polyvore account to see if there are any sets that might be good to share, and I saw a message from 29 days ago from <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/index.jsp">Anthropologie</a> that I was a finalist in a contest that I had entered to win, do you even want to know, a $500 gift card from them. I totally missed the opportunity by not responding to the message they sent. I guess I will just tell myself that I probably wouldn't have won anyway, so please don't tell me how awesome this set is :) I am in love with the olive green coat featured!</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div><div style="height: 500px; position: relative; width: 500px;"><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/winterland_lady/set?.embedder=1484641&.mid=embed&id=25788513"><img alt="winterland lady" border="0" force="1" height="500" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFl90c3l0eUlFNEJHanh4N09BcUc0S2cAAAACaWQKAXgAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" title="winterland lady" width="500" /></a></div><br />

It's hard to believe. As I was looking back though my blog from last year, I was surprised at how long ago some of the posts were made, they felt like just yesterday! It was a good year with some highs and some lows, and I tried to enjoy it as much as possible. Here is a look back at the year that was. <br />

I sure did. I am lucky to be surrounded by really loving and awesome friends and family, so it doesn't come as a surprise. This year Mike and I even put up a tree. Actually, we dug up a tree so it can be planted back later, and I made and borrowed most of the decorations. I made some super cute paper mache & wine cork mushrooms and a star for the top... <br />

And I thought I would share the Christmas gift that I painted for Mike's grandmother. It is of his grandparents when they were just teenagers. I was really happy with the result, and she seemed to really like it! I hope to do more painting this year, though I always say that after I finish a project, but this time I really mean it<br />
(again).<br />

Umm, actually I can. We have some hectic weeks behind us, and probably more ahead. And, Oh, on top of everything, my laptop has failed :( Needless to say, it has put a hitch in keeping up with my cyber life. I admit it, I am an internet junkie. However, last night was the first time in a while that my hubby and I had a computer-free night where we could snuggle and watch a movie without making room for my typing arm or getting a crick in my neck. Tonight I am going old school, and retreating to the old PC. Not quite as efficient, but I have got to get some stuff going on here.</div><div style="text-align: center;">A couple of weeks ago I felt I needed a change of style, so I grabbed the scissors and started chopping and here is my outcome.

I was just looking at some of my saved Etsy favorites and I was reminded of that collection where I fell for the colorful plaid pleated skirt. The particular one featured sold quickly, but I found a few others that are contenders for my heart as well.<br />

I just recently changed from part-time to full-time at work, which has led to less free time and much earlier bedtimes. And, lately I have been getting the sewing itch. I made my husband a halloween costume, did a few little diy accessory projects, and have been finishing and rehatching old sewing projects. Here is a super cute little makeup bag I made out of fabric scraps, for a friend.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_huZrycHPI9k/TM-f1jffzgI/AAAAAAAABUI/M4CzxptKYUE/s1600/SDC11731.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_huZrycHPI9k/TM-f1jffzgI/AAAAAAAABUI/M4CzxptKYUE/s640/SDC11731.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_huZrycHPI9k/TM-gGfJiQ4I/AAAAAAAABUM/E14FTT6jEX4/s1600/SDC11736.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_huZrycHPI9k/TM-gGfJiQ4I/AAAAAAAABUM/E14FTT6jEX4/s640/SDC11736.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_huZrycHPI9k/TM-gTqS_ILI/AAAAAAAABUQ/R7eATKTnxmU/s1600/SDC11737.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_huZrycHPI9k/TM-gTqS_ILI/AAAAAAAABUQ/R7eATKTnxmU/s640/SDC11737.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">...and, also my apologies for being such a slacker on outfit posts lately, and though I don't have much for ya today, here is a little bit to hold you over.<br />
I am gearing up for fall weather and finally getting to pull on some cozy jackets and scarves!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_huZrycHPI9k/TNDEfs_q-ZI/AAAAAAAABU0/__6ijYmuVa8/s1600/SDC11718.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_huZrycHPI9k/TNDEfs_q-ZI/AAAAAAAABU0/__6ijYmuVa8/s640/SDC11718.JPG" width="476" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_huZrycHPI9k/TNDEm8J5_4I/AAAAAAAABU4/II_rF8fq1Io/s1600/SDC11722.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_huZrycHPI9k/TNDEm8J5_4I/AAAAAAAABU4/II_rF8fq1Io/s640/SDC11722.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Ahh, and here are the beginnings of the pencil bag that preceded the makeup bag. I followed the directions <a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/2010/09/sewing-101-zippered-case.html">here</a> from the lovely <a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/">Design*Sponge blog.</a> I love little quick, easy projects like this, I am all about instant gratification! It is really easy to adapt to whatever size you want. My tip for this project is, don't sew the lining too close to the back edge of the zipper, this will help keep the lining from getting caught in the zipper. <br />
