Target Love

Yesterday I went shopping at my local Target, and I totally fell in love with all the cute swimwear. I snapped some pics of my faves.

This top is perfect for my curvy figure, and the pink gingham bikini shorts are adorable. I don't know about you, but I am loving the retro fifties trend.

Teddy Bear Picnic

Saturday was such a lovely day, and I decided to take my little Beary outside for a picnic. We ate some honey sandwiches and lemonade. He is such a sweet bear; a great friend and subsitute child. Real children grow up and move away, but he never will. I hope you had a nice weekend. The weather has been beautiful.

Goodwill Hunting

My mom took me to Goodwill today and bought me a dress, a pair of shoes, and a new bag. I really love everything, and I am happy it all fits. The dress looks sort of vintage, and the bag is awesome. It isn't real leather, but it still looks cool. The shoes are made by Sketchers. They look dressy, but they are also comfortable and easy to walk in.

Teddy Bear Sweater Redeux

I am knitting a sweater for a very special little Teddy Bear. The last sweater I started wasn't turning out too good, so I started another one. This one looks a lot better; it has a tighter weave because I used smaller needles, and I really like the angel hair yarn I used and the color pattern. The only thing I am worried about is the size. This sweater is a bit smaller, so I hope it fits him. I know I should, but I never make swatches. If this sweater doesn't turn out, I'll just make another one. Practice makes perfect♡

My Lalaloopsy Collection

I collect a lot of dolls. Disney Princess, Blythe, Monster High, La Dee Da and Lalaloopsy. This is my Lalaloopsy collection. I have a total of five, including a boy. I don't think they have made very many boy Lalaloopsys, so I think he is kind of rare.

I have been spending the last three days playing with my new tablet. It is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) with Android Jellybean. I have been having a lot of fun with it, but I haven't been feeling very good today. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.

Do you collect anything? Please share!

Apatosaurus Part 2

I have been working on my plush dinosaur project this afternoon. I finished cutting all of the pieces out, and I sewed part of it together. My husband is sick today, and I wanted to finish it today so I could give it to him, but I can only work on sewing projects for about 1-2 hours per day. Sewing is hard for me, and I get confused easily, so I need to take frequent brakes.

Hopefully I will have more time to work on it tomorrow because I want to finish it soon. I also hope Jimmy feels better. I worry about him when he is sick.

Trashion

My stepmother bought me this really cool scrapbook called a SMASH book. I can't tell you how fun it is. I made this page yesterday. I just cut out some magazine clippings, used some stick on letters, and wrote in it a little. I just love doing this. The possibilities are endless!

Do you like to make scrapbooks or art journals? Do you have any techniques you would like to share? Please do!
