celebrate jesus really is the coolest thing ever.. this was the 15th year and wowza its grown! i remember the first year my mom making costumes and paper mache being everywhere in the building for a month! and now im grown up and its still going.

dinner party. emphasis on dinner.

this is the party from the night i got home... callums little brother snapped these shots since i barely got myself there (the camera remained buried in the suitcase for at least another 24 hours!).

good friends and good food is a winning combination.

these might be my winter accessory.

warm feet are so in right now.

christmas movies, you rock.

ill give you a hint...

its not oklahoma and it rhymes with shmawesome!

im hoooooome!

i wish i could explain how light my heart is!

i got home last night and was ambushed by my beast of a dog and them turned around and left a minute later for a dinner party.. the crazy holidays have begun.

okay, i know im not really a food person but seriously that food was incredible.

- a scallop in sweet chili sauce

- bruschetta

- duck

- bread and butter pudding

and we took a break before dessert to exchange gifts and open crackers

(besides accents crackers and the best thing about the british! they come with a crown! and a toy!).

(a cracker... i think you might even be able to make them...)

DONE!!

i made this hat today in celebration of not having to study anymore... my friends need to get pregnant so i can whip more of this stuff out. I love it!

(i took this picture for my mom- as you can tell i was too lazy to get off my bed even to frame my lovely hat! ha. take that school!)

semester: over.

finals: over.

packing: ... not even close to done! ah well.

(christmas parties have already begun!)

the holidays approach!

fabric scissors made by a family in india.

lonnie webb takes some pretty rad photos. hes in seattle. hes a christian.

FAVORITE PEOPLE p. seis

(not my pics...)

my oldest friend.

we grew up together...our names start with the same letter and our church and even OUR PARENTS would call us the wrong thing. which is silly because we dont look alike... but when were goofing off (getting in trouble) i guess its easy to get us mixed up.

that yellow scarf... we convinced someone she was actually from india and was her boyfriends mail order bride.

shes going to have a tough holiday season this year.

if you believe in prayer please pray for her and her family.

wien.

oh christmas markets.

oh other home.

you have my heart still...

PRINTS!

okay, so this is like xmas part 2.... bi just couldnt put all these prints on that post!

wouldnt that seem ridiculous.

i want a whole wall filled with these pretties.

home.

mr umbrella (we dont use those where im from..)
seagull.

bear arms. ha!

star wars.

baby animals!

a visual guide: xmas 2010.

dear family/santa,

i will live if you dont get me these things (quite happily too).

but they are pretty and so i put them on my wishlist.

(locket, music, mag, yarn, office, mag, hat, movie, dresses, swimsuit)

pretty panties.

i saw these shots from the victoras secret show on snippet and ink this morning and have been staring at them since!

i love panties.

holidays! and aliens..

i think mister doesnt know what to do with me sometimes... i crocheted a little girls cowl while getting excited over an alien ripping out a mans backbone.

eh.

whatever. i enjoy what i enjoy.

thanksgiving week is coming! im

- going to my aunties (to deliver the cowls)

- working thanksgiving day and seeing HP! with my coworkers after (i made cute thanksgiving day cards for the people i wait on... i love old people)

- SHOPPING!

and then christmas.

FINALLY.

im almost done shopping but i still go out... the cold weather, the crowds, the sweaters. i love it all. christmas music playing on the speakers.

making snowflakes for my windows.

IM THANKFUL FOR CHRISTMAS.

(like how i tied that together? i thought you would...)

hat... a whole season later!

its okay-

i definitely know she is ADORABLE!

i made this pretty green hat for her last march but the weather got sunny so it finally got to make a debut in november! her momma sent me this picture today.

adore.

im not active in fashion week really... i dont keep up.

but when pretty things fall into my view i definitely appreciate them!

i love the long, sleek lines.
