May Lifestyle Ideas

• Swap butter and sweeteners for honey - it's good for your skin, antibacterial, never expires and tastes great on toast!
• Try a different color scheme than you are used to for your outfits. Consider soft plumbs, light teals and faded oranges
• Relax with a nice Ghibli movie - one of my personal favorites is Kiki's Delivery Service ♫
• Go for an early morning bike ride - pack a picnic breakfast and relax in the shade
• Find your inner Heidi and crown your head in braids. Looped braids with a beret also look cute ♪
• Ever tried milk tea? Here's an easy recipe ♥
• Experiment with unusual mori silhouettes - such as baby-doll style dresses or loose, saggy pants
• I'm thinking about trying yoga this summer - it's said to be a great stress reliever and tones your core, which helps you loose weight!
• Escape the early summer head with an afternoon at the Library. 
• Save table tops from cool drinks with these cute fabric house coasters!

Challenge: Sea Life

As the weather warms up my feet begin itching to get to the water. Unfortunately, living in the middle of Texas means that my water-front options are limited. While there is a reasonable selection of lakes and rivers, nothing beats the beach. Not just for swimming, but shell collecting and animal watching. Aquariums are another favorite spot of mine because I get to experience all of the sea life I want without pink cheeks and sandy tones. If you haven't guessed yet, this month's theme is sea life! I suggest cute critters like sea horses, jellyfish and sea gulls. Draw inspiration from any critters you would normally find at the beach. Include nautical stripes and color pallets for an extra beachy feel ♥

I also made two pairs of earrings and 2 phone straps. Raspberry and blackberry ♥  The phone straps will probably be up on Milk Thistle soon ♥

Deer Pouch and Beret

Acorn Crafting

I wanted to share a pair of acorn earrings I was commissioned to make:

 

They are made from real (sealed) acorns!

Not sure if I'm going to add a vintage lace bow or not

I also made a key chain which I will be putting up in my shop soon

Wonderful Cleveland Trip ♫

Hi there everyone, sorry for the few and far between posts! Between college apps, AP tests, finals and other craziness, I've found little time and few interesting things to share u_u One exciting topic that I managed to skip over though was my trip to Cleveland, Ohio! My dad and I went the weekend after spring break to visit the college I wanted to go to. Well the school (The Cleveland Institute of Art was wonderful and we managed so see a fair bit of the town! I don't have any photos from the school, but here are a few from around this city:

 

Back in Texas:

Cleveland was wonderful, I can't wait to move in August ♥

Easter Treats ♥

I don't think I ever posted my new SWIMMER hat! It's from the fawn fur series (of course). I's a new style for me, but I think it will be perfect for winter in Cleveland. Plus I really love the detachable bow, it's so versatile ♥ But I think it matched my beret a little better ^_^

I also bought some white felt to make my mushroom beret ♫ I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring out how I should wear it though ^_^;;

I also scored some yummy Easter candy, just in time for my diet T__T I've lost about 4 pounds already though and my legs are very sore! My skin is also improving, I think it's thanks to the apple cider vinegar and green tea toner I've been using. I struggle so much with my skin u_u 

Lastly, I updated my shop ♥ Here's a peak at some of the items:
