I'm in Love!


Here are just a few things I can't keep my eyes off of these days!  




I love the brightly colored bag, the gold watch and bangles...The printed mini-skirt is just perfect Portland wear!


Decorating our place has been weighing on me for quite some time, these are a few things I've been loving from pinterest, you can find them on my pinterest boards.

In other news, we sold my good ol' Subaru.  She was a great car, I had her for 5 whole years (and put thousands of dollars towards her!).  We are excited to have sold her for a little extra cash, which we promptly put towards some debt..and a bit of shopping :).  Since I've been working downtown we officially decided we were going to sell her, I was driving her MAYBE one day a week, and it just wasn't worth the $200 car payment anymore.  Now we will be able to put that extra $200 a month towards the rest of our debt and hopefully be debt free within the year!  

My stash of homemade knitted baby blankets is growing steadily!  I've got 5 on hand, although as soon as my pastor and his wife have their baby, I will have one less!  So I'm steadily building my 'resume' and can't wait to try to do something more with them!  

What have you been up to this month?

I love Rachel's blog, she is always so real and honest about her life and amazingly sweet.  The Rules: Thank the person who nominated you and link your post to their blog. List 11 facts about yourself then answer the 11 questions given to you. Create 11 more questions for your 9 nominees, all of whom have 200 or less followers. Comment on their blogs informing them of the Liebster Award nomination. 11 FACTS ABOUT ME: 1.  I just opened my own Etsy shop!   KnitPurlStitch ! 2.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE CrossFit. 3.  I still have a quilt my mom made me when I was 2.  I've had to stitch it up a few times and so its name is now 'Frankie Blankie'.  Its weird. I know. 4.  I used to eat ramen noodles daily.  Now I don't even know the last time I ate them. I miss them :)...

Dinner Fail, Dessert Win!

Last nights dinner was supposed to look like this Instead it turned out like this It was a serious fail. The flavor was good, but it looked terrible and took more than twice as long to make as we thought it would. Oh and, it was a bit too crispy. BUT Dessert redeemed me, it was Kiwi Lemon Cheesecake - Yum! The recipe called for lemon curd, and when I saw how expensive it was at the store, I decided to try and make my own! It turned out great, and this was the end result It was not quite as solid as it should have been, but delicious non-the-less! Both of these recipes were from Rachel Ray's Everyday magazine. It was exciting making new things, hopefully next time they turn out a bit better :) xxoo

Midnight in Paris

I just stumbled upon these seriously gorgeous photos of Marion Cotillard and had to share! I am now itching to see Midnight in Paris because of its 93% rating from Rotten Tomatoes {and dang it's hard to please them!}. Have you seen it, did you enjoy it? xxoo
