What I Wore for Valentine's Day

 For Valentine's Day I wore my new red dress, which was also my Valentine's gift from my honey.
But because it was extremely cold, I had to do a white blouse underneath. I added my OTK boots, black belt and black heart pin (from my shop). This week I was dancing to the sounds of Nat King Cole, very romantic!

Throwback Thursday

For Throwback Thursday here's a little diy heart you can make on a flower loom. Bye for now!

This Makes Me Happy

I thought this week I would start a new tradition that I will be calling "This Makes Me Happy". I wanted to share some of my favorite finds both new and old, thrifted or store bought. Today I'm sharing a new red dress my husband bought for me as an early Valentines gift. I've been wanting a red dress for some time, so when I spotted this at H&M for $18 I knew it was a great find. So guess what I'll be wearing this weekend? Although I may be layering it heavily as it's supposed to be very cold this weekend! Bye for now!

Gold Glittered Heart Mobile

My last Valentine tutorial I had some cutout hearts left over so I thought I would come up with another quick decoration, and this is what I came up with. I used the same gold glitter, glue, pink card stock, and baker's twine.

I like to use a Q tip to spread the glue out evenly, so the glitter goes on perfectly.

After they had dried, I glued the twine to the backs of the hearts, let it dry, and I was done.

I made sure to leave a bit of twine at the top and then just used a bit of washi tape to hang it.

Simple and sparkly, just the way I like it! Bye for now!

What I Wore to Dance to Sinatra

 I guess I'm on a black and white (or black and cream) roll, and this week I'm combining it with another skirt I found at H&M on clearance. It goes perfectly with my striped tee and layered look tights. I also wore my polka dot coat again, but without the fur collar. The belt is actually my trusty black belt with the buckle in back.
 Skirt: H&M
Tee, tights, coat and boot: Target
Belt: old
Necklace: gift from Hubby many years ago
Rose ring: 21

 I was listening to Frank Sinatra while I was taking pix, so I thought I would include him in my photo. Sing it Frank!

Winter is Back

 Well, just as we got used to the warm weather, when winter came back with a vengeance! Not that I was surprised, but I can't say I was happy either. But it did make for some great pictures.

 But the most interesting sight was when I went to get the mail, and looked back at the front door, oh my! It looked like something out of Dr. Seuss's the Grinch. 

 I wouldn't want to be standing underneath that when it decides to fall down! Although, I have a feeling that my hubby will knock it down when he shovels out the walkway.

      

Too bad, cause I'd kind of like to see it fall, just not on somebody! Bye for now!

Happy 15th Birthday!

 Saturday was my daughter's 15th birthday and after we went to the museum, we came home and she opened presents and had cake.  This year I decorated the cake with a fox motif, using my fox pins as a template. I'd never used a frosting tip before, so I was a bit clumsy, but I think it turned out pretty good for my first time!

 She got lots of great gifts and had a ball opening them.

 But I think her favorite gift was the Nintendo 3DS that she got from her dad and I.  Just look at her face as she opened it!

She was stunned to say the least, as she really didn't expect to get it. I'm just glad we could get her something special as she has been doing so well in school this year. She deserved it! Bye for now!

Day at the Museum

 For my daughter's birthday, we went to the Science Museum of Minnesota, and I have to say, we really had a blast.

 One of the newer additions was this gigantic spacesuit! It took up all three floors! We couldn't stop talking about it! And it was really hard to get a good picture of it.

 My favorite part of the museum was the light science area, with lots of beautiful and colorful things to see. Above is a picture of my girl, making colorful shadows.

I didn't get any shots of the dinosaur skeletons, but that is my daughter's favorite part. She has always been into dinos since she was little. Although it was very busy, I'm so glad we went! Have you been to a museum lately? Bye for now!

What I Wore for a Birthday Outing

Saturday was my daughter's 15th birthday, so we went to the Science Museum of Minnesota.

It was someplace she had been wanting to go to for awhile. We really had a blast, so I'll have some fun pix to show you on Tuesday.
It was kind of crazy that I was able to wear a jean jacket on January 30th, but we do sometimes get a January thaw (as the weather people call it). And I wasn't complaining! It went great with my blue plaid skirt and moto boots.
