Just a few things I've been working on: hair bows,

Valentine's decorations and a turban headband.

It was my birthday a few weeks ago so I went to Tea & Sympathy for the first time. Loved it!

Isn't that teapot gorgeous?

Their decor was wonderful. And this is my new bag for spring <3

I crocheted a kind of autumn bunting for my room.
It was actually pretty easy to do!

I was a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding. The flowers we had were gorgeous!

Apple pie by yours truly. I love the lattice effect, I definitely want to make more :)

easter eggs!

I know it's a little after the fact, but I hope everyone who celebrates it had a Happy Easter!
My sister and I decided to color some eggs and I took a few snapshots during the process. This first picture was taken right after I finished blowing the eggs out of the shell via two tiny holes. I'm pretty sure I lost a few brain cells doing this!

I downloaded the egg making app from Martha Stewart and she suggested making something like this to dry the eggs once they were dyed. Those are regular pins used for sewing.

It actually did a great job holding the eggs.

After we colored all of them...

The finished product! It was a lot of work but my sister and I both loved how it turned out.

Carrot cake made by my sister which was delicious!

Flowers I picked along the road on Easter afternoon.

Happy Easter :)

museums and the flower district (which really isn't)

My friend Ellen and I went to the Brooklyn Museum.
It's a lot smaller than the Metropolitan Museum (my favorite)
so it's perfect if you only have a few hours to spare (we both woke up late haha).

I tried to look for a description for this piece but couldn't find one. However, it was beautiful in person!
It reminded me of Marie Antoinette's bed after an all night party. 

We went to the flower district which wasn't too far from Herald Square. Today it's only a block, but in the past it was much longer. It really looked as though a forest took over for a brief bit.

I tried out my new teacup!

I'm working on another afghan. I didn't finish the other (that one is going to take a while),
but I like to take on a few different projects at once so I don't get bored.

Originally it was supposed to be a baby blanket,
but I like the way it's coming out so much I just might keep it!

almost spring but not quite

It's definitely that time of year when you look outside your window and see it's sunny, your instinct is to dress light because it's spring. However, once you're outside, you realize it still feels like winter and that you probably should have put on that scarf after all. Such was the case yesterday but I didn't let it ruin what turned out to be a very nice day.

I went to The Homefront, a store that sells vintage items (both real and inspired).
They were having a sale and I couldn't resist buying a few things!

I love blue and white patterns.

This is such a great book! It constantly inspires me to try new things.
This time I wanted to try to crochet an afghan similar to the one shown:

Lastly, I painted these mini flowerpots. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with them yet!
