Friday Favorites

Let's just put this out there:
I've sucked this week.
Blogging has its ups and downs and this week was a down. 
Any-hoo, I've got some favorites to share.

Favorite Hobby

I've taken up knitting again! My beau didn't even know I knew how to knit and the second I whipped out my knitting needles to work on my very own circle scarf, he about died. His first comment: "we're getting old." Rock on. At least we'll be warm and cozy in our old age. Or our necks will. I've never progressed in my knitting skill much past scarves.

Favorite New Craft Project

In preparation for moving in together, I'm making some awesome artwork for my beau's man cave! I'm working on knock off's of the one ones above. So far I've got Batman, Superman, and the Flash. Cool girlfriend of the year award? I think so.

Favorite Find

I'm loving this color scheme for my brown couch. With the mixed patterns and fun colors, I think they are just enough "adult" without being un-fun.

Every day after work this week I've either hit up Goodwill or Marshalls/TJ Maxx. I cannot get enough of home decor. And while I'm mostly just idea shopping, I have bought a few things to make our home extra cozy. Pinterest and Etsy are also getting a lot of love from me these days. 

Favorite Words to Come Out of My Mouth

"Hun, what do you think of this color scheme for the living room?"

Favorite Response

"Uhh, I don't know what that is but whatever you pick out I'm sure will be great"

Atta boy.

Congrats to Lindsey on her big move to Las Vegas!

  1. I need to do more home decor shopping! Lately I've just been buying clothes, but some of the rooms in my house need a SERIOUS makeover! Including the pillows on my couch!

  2. I NEED THOSE PILLOWS! I've been redecorating (and by that, I mostly mean I'm finishing the unfinished decorating job I did back in January) lately. I feel you on being obsessed.

  4. When we moved into our current apartment, I went through a serious nesting phase similar to yours.. So I know the feeling! Also, it's obvious to me that living together is going to work out for you guys based on what your bf said about you picking out the color scheme. Smart guy! :)

  5. You do deserve a best girlfriend award. I love doing knock-off paintings, so I can't wait to see how yours turn out! And I only wish I knew how to knit!

    Happy weekend :)

  6. Hilarious that your beau didn't know that you can knit! Sometimes men don't have a clue, do they? Reminds me of my husband- he didn't even know I had a blog until about 6 months after we'd been married. Ha! Just found your blog and have loved getting to know you better. I'm so excited to follow along!
