Stitch Fix #17 - June 2017
So, today is the first day of July. I'm not sure how that happened or where June went, but that means it's time for another Stitch Fix review! I gave Melissa the usual "surprise me" instructions. Let's see what she sent!
Las Vegas Trip Recap
We recently returned from a (very hot) trip to Las Vegas. It was a nice trip, but we had an unfortunate run in with a stomach bug that stole 2.5 non-travel days. This means we didn't get to go to a lot of the places on our list.
Day 1
We arrived in Vegas on a Saturday afternoon and immediately picked up the rental car, checked into the Vdara hotel, and headed to the Wicked Spoon buffet in the Cosmopolitan. I had seen this buffet on tv several times in the past couple of years and was super excited to try it out.
Cat + Cupcake = Catcake?
I haven't worked on a crochet project since March when I made the little lime people to take to my office. I decided it was time to start a new project as a going away gift for one of my coworkers. She likes sweets and shares an interest in cats (definitely not to the "crazy cat lady" level like me), so I thought it was only appropriate to make her a cat cupcake aka catcake. I looked around on Ravelry and didn't find a pattern I liked, so of course I decided it was a good idea to smash pieces from two patterns together.
Stitch Fix #16 - May 2017
I haven't been posting much because I haven't been crafting much. That means you get an overload of Stitch Fix posts. It's that time again, so here's my May fix. I'm sure that everyone is aware of my "surprise me fixes are the best" motto by now, so it's obvious that I asked for another this month. In order to avoid spoilers, let's just say Melissa's picks for me blew me away. Read on for details!
Stitch Fix #15 - April 2017
It's that time... Stitch Fix reveal time, that is! This month I'm celebrating one year with my awesome stylist, Melissa. My only request this month was to focus on things with sleeves or things that could be layered to keep warm when they inevitably crank the AC at the office this summer.
More from Lina's Make Your Mark 01 Plate
Confession: I am obsessed with the two plates I purchased from Lina Nail Art Supplies. In fact, I'm considering ordering a few more. Here are the beauties I'm currently wearing:
Lina Nail Art Supplies Plates
I recently discovered a nail art brand I'd never heard of via Instagram called Lina Nail Art Supplies. Their Instagram is full of really neat looking stamped nail art. Further research indicated they sell a ton of plates with really neat designs, but I was hesitant to purchase since I've done that in the past only to receive plates that don't stamp well for whatever reason. I finally decided I couldn't live without the Make Your Mark 01 and Make Your Mark 02 plates, so I bit the bullet and ordered them. Spoiler alert: I was not disappointed with my purchase.
