pom pom rug

I saw this pom pom rug on pinterest and pinned it in my MAKE THIS board along with the 10000000 other crafts I want to make.

Since I already have a HUGE yarn collection and I had this rug liner that I could cut and use as the perfect piece to make this project on my days while I'm snowed in my apartment on the -3 degree Chicago days. 

sunday

I LOVE SUNDAYS!

day to relax, get ready for the week ahead.

reflect on the week I've had.

this week was fun 

I made lots of crafts

!!!!

learned how to make these crochet collars. which I LOVE.

Ive made like 10!

this week I also went from

 blonde

to

brown.

I had a little hari dye problem. I didnt know you couldn't put brown over blonde with out some red.. or else it would turn grey! which happened to me.

so I had to cut like 2 inches off. 

but it think its kinda cute when its curled.

I mastered the crochet hat pattern!

and whipped up these two hats last night.

sunday

I havent blogged in ages, I promised myself to start up again once the school year started here I am. 

Sundays post is my time to reflect on the week I've had so Ive been thinking about it.

I started off my week in Chicago, after all summer there and ending with my cousins wedding downtown. 

Ive been back in Arizona for a week now and its nice to be back, I miss the green trees that line the streets of chicago, cuddling with my doggy at night, and staying up late with my mom watching trashy TV. 

I notice myself sometimes going to a negative mindset and thinking why am I even in Tucson, Im taking my classes online I could be back in Chicago enjoying the weather and the soon changes in the leaves but Im here in 100+ degree weather but when I catch myself doing that I like to look around at the beauty of my surroundings. 

here are some of my instagram pictures from the past week.

I was so intrigued by the beauty of what I saw, I felt the need to whip out my phone and take a picture. 

view from my cousins wedding

the sky at 7 am driving to the airport 

airplanes trip me out when I really think about them, at any time any day we can hop on a plane and go on an adventure 

 

above the clouds

my first stop when I got home. 

Sparkroot, I love you so 

and your amazingly nice baristas

squeaky chairs 

and yummy iced tea.

there are very few things I love more that monsoon season, warm rainy days

beautiful sky

beautiful sky again

and again

it does have a way of growing on you

bar art 

local music, good nights.

my mom always tells me you can meet new people sitting on your couch.

last night I was in the mood to watch netflix and crochet in bed but I dragged myself out and Im glad I did, I met new people, was introduced to really amazing music.

that is my week, and it was a good one. 

sunday is my lazy day. relaxing in bed, cleaning my house and FINALLY unpacking from chicago (oops), working on my crochet projects, real housewives of new jersey, and nail painting :)

oh and...

I finally made a cupcake hat!

its red velvet!

 

I really like it the yarn I used is kinda too firm, I need a floppier yarn that will make the hat look slouchier.
