The grass chair sounds great! I can't wait to see pictures :) Isn't it crazy how fast the term went by? I can't believe that we only have one more week of lectures!

That's exactly how I feel about many blogs lately. I was really sad to see how one of my favorite blogs turned into a 'enter this giveaway', 'look at my friend's blog' and 'sponsor posts' blog instead of her inspiring, personal posts that used to make up 90% of her blog. Nowadays it's only 10% :( I understand that there are many 'starving artists' out there who are all trying to make money through there blog which is fine for me as long as they still share personal posts regularly. It would be great if people invested more time connecting with (and listening to) their readers.

oh my, this post reminded me that's it almost november - and from november on time runs super fast! And I should work on my autumn mini... May I ask why there are two different rubber stamps? does it mean we'll get to chose between two covers? :)

Hand Stitching: Card

LA just posted a cute hand stitching tutorial and I decided to make a quick card using my own handwriting :) I have to admit that this was pretty much the first hand stitching project I did in... years? I can't remember the last time I hand stitched but it's... Continue reading

I love your thrift store challenge! You should definitely make a regular feature out of it :) Oh and the thrift store you went to seems to be great - I went to one last week and they wanted $15 for a skirt !?! I miss 'cheap' thrift stores ;)

Residence

The residence I live in is mainly for first year students and exchange students. A major disadvantage is that there aren't kitchens, so there's a mandatory meal plan. And dining hall food is nothing you wanna eat for eight months in a row. Also, many students in my res are... Continue reading

autumn minibook: first pages

After the 30 Days of Lists project I really missed journaling regularly. I was really happy when my autumn 2011 minibook arrived so I had an excuse to have a messy desk and lots of papers, washi tape rolls and glitter spread all over my room :) Here are all... Continue reading

Apple Festival

Today I went to the annual Apple Festival at the UBC Botanical Gardens. We had so much fun seeing all the different variations of apples grown in BC, taking pictures at the 'pumpkin patch', eating delicious apple pie, drinking apple cider and wandering around, looking at stalls. I found this... Continue reading

I love the first one! One day I'll knit socks with the same pattern :D

It's a good day

Today was a good day. It started very early with an early morning yoga class and afterwards a delicious (and rather healthy) breakfast at my favorite Starbucks store. It's been bright and sunny all day so I took a walk, collected leaves to dry and snapped some dreamy fall photos.... Continue reading

haha sewing is definitely faster! too bad I don't have a sewing machine here. Guess I have to stick to knitting. Btw, I saw a great double face knitted scarf on ravelry but I think I would go nuts with several threads (and it would take me years to finish it...) thanks for the sweet comments

thanks Michelle :)

Haha I went running yesterday morning with a friend and we had the stupid idea of going down there and up again as a workout - baaad idea. Way worse than 30 minutes of running :D And I agree, seeing a bunch of old men naked isn't what I wanna see when I go to the beach - unfortunately many Canadians don't seem to mind the cold because there were still a couple of people who took their clothes off - although it's FREEZING cold! Well, by November even the people who still wear shorts and flip flops should realize that it's winter and too cold to take off your clothes :D

Wow you are really busy - now I feel bad that I complained about having three midterms within one week. Compared to your schedule I feel like I'm on vacation, although all the tons of readings for school really stress me out! I hope you'll find some time to craft and relax. Good luck staying on top of things
