Blog roll TTT

I am just in the mood for blogging today! Since it's 12:16AM on Tuesday and I am waiting for my 3rd batch of test swatches to dye, I figured I might as well do my Ten Things Tuesday! Woop, woop!

1. These pretty dress prints:

2. This cute Blog. I participated in the Valentine's day card swap so I will post the cards I get as well as the one I sent out the Monday after V-day. Wouldn't want to spoil the surprise for anyone who might be receiving my valentine this year :)

3. Anything but ordinary pasta-- mmm chocolate:

Well, that took much longer than anticipated! Fabric is done, now time for bed! Goodnight!

Just for fun :)

Doing some tea dying in my washing machine to see how it turns out. My goal is for a uniform color on the entire piece of fabric. We'll see!

Oh, I forgot to mention: I'm free!

My last day at Belk was Saturday, so now I actually have some time to work on things I enjoy and just have fun!

Also, the big news I had is going to have to wait just a little bit longer. I am awaiting confirmation this week. I don't want to get too excited but I just can't help day dreaming about....

Oh and don't forget....

In the meantime:

Love

Valentine's Day Card Preview

I have been working on a Valentine's day card for this year. It's nothing fancy, mostly just cutesy. Here is a little preview of my materials before they get "assembled"!

Have a good night, I'll be back tomorrow with some potentially awesome news. I am too tired to type about it tonight. Love, Allison

(PS Roger got a haircut and I loooove Samoa's ice cream!)

(PPS do you like my different design scheme?)

New Collection

I love this video showcasing Vanessa Bruno's new collection. How much fun would it have been to be on this shoot!?

10 things Tuesday reincarnated!

Since I no longer have a job (almost) I decided to take some more time to blog, yay! So here goes with my newly reinstated 10 Things Tuesday! Today will be about how much I want to go home to Cincinnati to visit my parents. I have seen them several times since but I haven't gotten to go home since the very beginning of October and I wasn't even married yet! So here are some of the things I am looking forward to doing:

1. Seeing my parents!

2. Going to Ikea with my mom

3. Going to Allyn's Cafe with my dad for some yummy nacho's and POM margarita's

4. Going grocery shopping at Whole Foods

5. Going fabric shopping at Joann's. Hancock just doesn't cut it!

6. Taking Bermuda to the dog park!

7. Reading some good books before bed with my mom :)

9. My mom's popcorn!

10. Side trip to see Mark and Joanna in Louisville!

2 more weeks to wait!

Oh and and my Happy February post was my 100th! Happy 100th post! Well I am starving, so I am going to go find something to eat, all those searching for pictures of Noodles and Company and popcorn woke my stomach up. Then I am going to work on a little something for a blog update, woohoo! Have a good night!

A new favorite artist

I promised you a playlist and here it is! MY two new favorite songs. I love the first one in it's entirety. Meaghan Smith as a wonderful voice and it's a really catchy tune. The second I love because of it's lyrics. So sappy :)
