Cat ear headbands. Starlet tested, Cure Touch approved.

My love for animal eared hats is well-documented. I even have some bear ear barrettes that I made. Cat eared headbands have been in the past couple of years -- you could argue they're a 2013 trend, but I am still seeing a lot of them, and I love them. Taylor Swift wore some in one of her music videos, Lea Michele wore some on the cover of Nylon, and various celebs like Katy Perry have been seen...

Fall, finally!

Woke up today to these on the table... made by my little sister. So festive! I'm so happy it's autumn, all officially and everything. Last night my bestie and I watched Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, which is my big autumnal feels-bringing movie (along with The Rocky Horror Picture Show). I watch it every year and I love it so!! Feeling like continuing with my ripple... I'm actually into...

Great concert, or greatest concert?

Happy first day of Autumn! It's official today! Thank goodness. My BFF and I are having an autumnal fete tonight. We're going to watch Sleepy Hollow and, seeing as how we're across the country from each other, we'll be eating festive foods of our own respective choosing. My pumpkin spice-scented candles are all ready to go. Last night I went with my little sister and two friends to see Merriment,...

Retail therapy.

R-R-R-Rough stuff lately! Yesterday I had a desperately-needed therapy session and was prescribed a new medication, which I hope works, but I've been on the same meds for years, so messing with that is producing some anxiety for me. I'd rather not really get into it here when I'm doing badly, so let's focus on the aftermath... which is that I've indulged in some retail therapy. Earlier my mom...

Ripple Throw Progress Report: A foot in...

Here's 2014's ripple throw with Klara for size comparison. It's about a foot in height! This is two and a half week's worth of crocheting... I don't work on it every day. Just when I feel like it. It's that kind of thing that makes afghans the perfect project!! By the way, I am pretty much winging this one. When I finished with the creamsicle color (it's more vibrant in real life than in the...

ready for autumn

I know it's still a couple of weeks away, officially, but can it be autumn now?? I'm absolutely pining! It's vaguely cool today and it's really tripping the trigger for me. You can really see how intense Soleil's hair is next to Aury's! (I love taking "first girl with newest girl" pics. I want to take an all-blondes picture with Lamb and Bonnet in there too!) Ice Rune's blonde has this slight...

Unexpected Blythe family addition...

Okay, Blythe update, you guys. There's a new kid on the block. In late August I adopted this cuuute golden-tressed TBL from BirdinaNest via Blythe Kingdom! Her name is Soleil -- that's the name her previous owner gave her, and it is perfect for her, so I have no desire to change it! She's another unique doll in my collection, at least in terms of my typical dolly tastes. Man, I was not in the...

Cold Shower Challenge

And now for something completely different: I'm on day 12 of a 30-day Cold Shower Challenge! This is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Instead of hot showers, I'm taking cold showers every day. I came about this challenge because I'm steadily active on HabitRPG -- a site that makes a rewarding game out of completing your to-do lists and taking care of your daily tasks. I absolutely love...
