Stitch Fix #19 - August 2017
Stitch Fix put out a style quiz through Facebook messenger in the last few months that I was invited to try out. They give you three quizzes to complete per day where they show you items and you give them a thumbs up or down depending on if you'd wear the item. This month was another "surprise me" request to Melissa, so she sent me a fix full of items I'd liked from the quiz. Read on to see what she sent!
Evergreen State Fair 2017
We made our yearly fair trip to get Jeff a corn dog yesterday. He has come to prefer the Evergreen State Fair to the Washington State Fair because it's easier to get to and he says the food is better. I'm undecided, but I also really like fair food so it doesn't make a ton of difference to me. Anyway, we spent a few hours eating and seeing all kind of animals. Here are some photographic excerpts for your enjoyment!
Even More Nail Art
I'm having a pretty hard time with my current crochet project that's causing it to take forever to finish, so I'm sharing some more nail art in an effort to get back on the crafty post wagon.
Stitch Fix #18 - July 2017
You know I've been lazy in the craft/crochet department when you get nothing but Stitch Fix posts here. This has been the case for the last few months, but I'm ramping up on crafting now and new crafty posts will be here soon! In the meantime, back to the point of this post - my July Stitch Fix! I have somehow avoided the notorious cold that you usually find inside offices in the summer, so I actually left my stylist a request this month: please send short sleeve/sleeveless tops or cover ups that can go with some of the sleeveless dresses I own. She delivered exactly what I asked. Read on to see more!
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.
