Sky Lanterns

Wouldn't it be beautiful to partake in either a Sky Lantern Festival...or have your own Sky Lantern Party? Maybe next summer solstice? :)

Ikea Trip

Is it horrible that I love Ikea?

If you think it is, you have my permission to move on with your day and pretend that you didn't see this post :P

One of the things I love about Ikea is the Vegan Swedish Yellow Pea Soup:

(as soon as I knew we were making a trip to Ikea, I prayed to the vegan gods that the Swedish Yellow Pea soup was on the menu! I was SO excited when I saw that it was!)

(Here's a picture of my favorite soup in the whole world, no seriously. Nothing is as comforting and creamy and thick, as well as oh-so-delicious! I dream of making this from scratch at home, maybe one day I'll find the right recipe!)

While walking around Ikea, I stumbled across a few things that I loved so much I had to photograph:

(it looks like a dandelion, so delicate and whimsical)

(the paper flowers and wire make me believe I could recreate this...however, the plastic sphere around the bulb makes me think otherwise :\ )

(aren't these darling??)

So Pretty

I'm not looking to plan anything any time soon, but I stumbled upon these style boards, and I absolutely adore them! The colors are so beautiful!

Art Project: Recycling

So, I have a bunch of recyclable materials just sitting in the living room...endless boxes, and egg cartons, paper bags, etc. I've decided to make some recycled art...and instead of writing an epically long entry, I'm just going to post some pictures.  :)

Care for a ride?

How incredibly neat!

In need of Inspiration

I'm currently suffering from a lack of inspiration. I don't really know what triggered it, but I just realized that I am quite restless. I need to do something...make something...feel something. But I don't know what.

I'm just aimlessly wandering around in an empty room, and I don't know how long I've been here.
I think the remedy is going out and stretching my legs...it's a nice sunny day out, though still a bit chilly, 32 degrees or so. 


Maybe what I need is snow!

I know the mountains are full of snow right now...wouldn't that be refreshing? That sounds nice, doesn't it? A day in the snow :)


I just need to get out of this funk. It drifts in and out of my days, and I can't pin point it's source. I'm happy with where I live, who I'm living with (who I love dearly!)...what I eat...I think it's what I do to be honest. This whole not working thing/lack of productivity is really getting to me. I actually look forward to doing work for school...or cleaning! Sigh. I guess that's the problem. Trying to find a job while having made promises to go home for the holidays is tough work. No one wants someone who immediately wants loads of time off...especially because most people are hiring FOR the holidays! I'll feel better once I have work to do :)



Maybe I'll busy myself with a bit of creativity... but for that I need to buy a hot glue gun! And some string...
