From the bottom of my heart...

Should get back at this, 2.5 months till I'm back in the lab. They were supposed to be full of love, guess I was wrong.

Cheerier things on the way, made some art today and smell like woodsmoke and have a hot glue gun burn to show for it, but it's beautiful, in a heartbreaking kind of way, especially since it was made from a gift.

Granny Squares Sweater

Granny Square Sweater posted on A Beautiful Mess


Saw this awesome looking granny-sweater today, styled fantastically by Elise over at a beautiful mess. This one's a hand me down, but the colours are fantastical, definitely something I might want to make for my own one day.

Thought I'd poke around for others similar to it, came across a few, but none quite like hers.

This one's a pattern on Ravelry, sooo retro looking, also too much of  a house coat.

This is a Ravelry pattern too, the colours are right, but I'd rather bigger squares.

Found this one for sale on etsy, at Samlovesvintage, very neat as well.

That's all I have to say about that for now, will eventually prolly try to make one of these all for my own, in the mean time please do check out A Beautiful Mess, love that blog, and wish the Red Velvet shop was somewhere nearby.

New Shoes

Aren't they pretty? Evroange by Aldo

The photo doesn't give a real understanding of the scale of the massive, wonderful shoes. Shoes that make me a whole 5-1/2 inches taller.

It's a shame aldo doesn't do half sizes, had to get an 8, which means spending many nights wearing them in the house before they'll fit me. in a non-painful way.

Now I just need to start planning outfits around these bad boys, and hope the leather smell dies down a tiny bit.

Cheers!

Terrible Sara

So I popped off the face of blogger, but not the internet.

I've been keeping a little tumblr going, ish.... check me out here.

And I'ver certainly been reading all of the blogs I follow.

More to come around here from me I promise, Right now, I'm just basking in the after effects of a truly wonderful weekend.

Cheers

once again, with a bigger snake

So I've been a terrible little bogger person.... really I just like to read the rest of your blogs.

But here's an update, so my blogger profile pic has always been one of me with a snake, taken years ago on a trip to the Dominican Republic.

I love this picture, at the time I told myself, I can put the snake on me because I'm way smarter than the girls on top model and if they can do it so can I.

When I was in vegas this month, I upped the ante.


So once again, with a bigger snake:

Oh yeah, I feel bad ass!

Day Seven...Fave Movies

So some of the blogs I follow are doing the 30 day challenge over at Katie's Journey.

I thought I'd pop in at day 7.

Today we're supposed to list our favourite movies, and I love soooo many movies that I'll have to go with the ones that come to mind first.

• Star Wars - all of them
• The new Star Trek, not that the old ones aren't great, but the new one was fantasticle!
• Across the Universe - Because of the music and the colours and the wonderful.
• V for Vendetta - and I am currently reading the graphic novel.
• Airplane the movie! - this was my parent's first date too!

And that's all I can think of right now.

In other news I recently painted my nails a neon sherbet  peach colour, kinda fantastic. Vegas was great, maybe I'll get around to posting pictures soon. I spent 8 hours at work yesterday running an elisa (fun times). And I feel like I'm 15 again, maybe it's because I've got a big old hickie!

Today I...

Am going to Vegas!

Heading for the airport in a couple hours, can't wait to see the strip tonight!

Enjoy your long weekends, and Happy Thanksgiving to all you Canadian's out there.
