Things I love right now

Like, right this second. Because the things I love change often.

My sunflowers in a mason jar


We are trying to sell our house. This means a lot of things. It means most of our stuff (including our vases) are in storage right now. It also means that our realtor said to make our house more "welcoming." What's more welcoming than fresh flowers? Of course, I didn't remember that we had no vases until I got home with these beautiful, happy sunflowers. No worries. I had an empty mason jar in the cabinet, so I cut the stems short and made a sweet little bouquet that's not overpowering. Don't they look like they're saying, "Hi! Buy our house at the price we listed it at!" I felt so much like Martha Stewart when I did this, except without the insider trading stuff.

Mockingjay

Dude. I've told you already to read Hunger Games and Catching Fire. Now you have another book to read. I can't even talk about it without spoiling, but I will say that it is FANTASTIC and your life is LESS because you haven't read these books. Seriously, I would say they're on the same level as Harry Potter. Yeah, I just went there. They are in no way comparable in storyline, but in a beautifully crafted story they are running in the same race. Read them.

Blanket


One of my dear friends is having her first baby, a little girl. I started crocheting this sweet melon blanket for her last week and it is almost finished. I can't wait to give it to her!



What are you loving right now?

I made a purse today!

This one's better than the other one I made. I wasn't very happy with the way the other one turned out, so I tweaked the pattern a little bit. This one is much more acceptable.






And my Japanese Lillies are blooming! They make me so happy!



^That is enough to make me happy in spite of the fact that our air conditioner broke down this weekend in the middle of this awful heat! Yikes! Did I mention that our heater broke in the dead of winter this year? Yeah, we're being plagued. It's all good.
