Guilty pleasures are wonderful, no?  Here are a few of mine : Backstreet Boys . Lady Gaga  (seriously, why is bad romance just a great song to dance to in the shower?!). Gossip Girl. knitting (duh) pictures of babies and / or most kid related items . cooler ranch doritos - Coach G$, can I have room in my macros for these PLEASE?! any cookie that doesn't contain nuts - bleh. anything gold / glittery. what are your guilty pleasures?

You've seen those HUGE knit blankets that everyone is dying over, right?! I mean, they are really amazing - I've thought about making an enormous one for our living room rug instead of an area rug from the store. One of my long standing customers (who has purchased multiple things from my shop ) asked me if I thought I would be able to make one, so I gave it a go! The materials are a little spendy, but these blankets are amazing - here it is! Don't you just want to grab it and snuggle up!? Honestly, it is THE coziest blanket I've ever made. I listed it on my Etsy shop in this lap blanket size, but I would be OVER THE MOON excited if someone wanted a larger size!   xxoo

This is not how I want her to talk to her daughte
