One shoulder, because really, who needs two?

My dress collection is not what I wish it to be, but until I can afford the dresses that I love love love, I online window shop and dream of a lovely closet of dresses, such as Color Me Katie's. But lately, I've been dreaming of one shoulder dresses... I remember when I was about 11 I had this vibrant yellow, one shoulder shirt that I absolutely loved, but I haven't owned anything one shouldered since!  Such a shame.  I've found some of the most lovely dresses via Polyvore:

But the prettiest dress I've found so far...

I bought for my sister to wear at my wedding in Jamaica! Isn't it pretty?! I may just have to borrow it...

This is my favourite photo that I took in Mexico last year - and it was one out of a single roll of film that I brought with me. My fiance and I were meant to get up at the crack of dawn to take a photo at sunrise... and surprise surprise, I go to wake Mr. up and he rolls over and groans, haha. I snapped a few photos and came back to bed moments later, only to find all 6'4" of him stretched across the entire bed!  

I don't usually accompany my photos with stories, but I thought this one was worthy :)

H'Okay, so...

This has absolutely nothing to do with DIY, or recycling, or thrifting, or photography, BUT, I promised my big sister I would do it.

And now I present to you...

Last night's dinner:

Beer

AND

Pancakes! (from scratch - so kind of DIY... haha)

Yes, beer and pancakes. Little nutritional value. Delicious.

I'm Alive!

I bet you were beginning to wonder... Life has been a nut house as of late, but I think I'm finally beginning to figure a few things out - which means I'll be getting back to the blog!

So as I'm sure you've noticed, I haven't exactly strictly followed my whole 'photo a day' thing, but I'm working on it! So here's another photo for today :)

Hobby to Small Business

A friend of mine from highschool is the proud owner of the small business Hats for Little Heads. She started crocheting toques while she was prego with her second girl and became so talented at it that everyone was asking her if they could buy one.  After what I'm certain must have been the bajillionth request (including myself!), she finally started selling them.

This woman is amazing, not only does she raise two beautiful, energetic little girls, but she runs her own small business -- one that requires her to hand make every single piece that she sells!  Oh, and did I mention that she takes special orders? Another friend of mine requested a Yoshi toque for her newborn nephew, and without hesitation she whipped up the most amazing Yoshi toque!

I'm proud to say that I've already purchased four of her lovely hats :)  So everyone out there, support the small and local businesses in your area!
