gettin' cozy

first of all I would like to thank dirtyprettythings for my little feature in her blog!

now down to business.

okay so i have been a knitting maniac lately.
so much that i have thrown my shoulder into an arthritic fit.

a lot of good has come of it though. for one, i have been extremely prolific. I now have lots of knitted goods in my shop.

here are some of my favourite new things:












































I have also been getting cozy by drinking waay too much hot chocolate.
I actually believe that I have created the most perfect recipe for it EVER.
It starts off with homemade marshmallows. (recipe can be found here)














It is then followed with my hot chocolate recipe:
Ingredients

• 1 handfull of semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 handfull of white chocolate chips
• 2 cups of 2% milk
• 1 tsp of salted butter (sounds weird but salt makes sweets taste better)

Directions

1. In a saucepan set on medium heat, melt butter in milk while continuously stirring with whisk.
   
2. When milk is hot (just before boiling), add in both chocolate chips.
3. Whisk until all chips are melted and serve immediately (with marshmallows on top!)

It ends up looking like this:















Great, now I want some.

Inspiration

So after listing all my new items in my shop, I find the time to create.
Only (and this has never happened to me before) I feel a block and have no idea what to make!

Thinking that taking my mind off of it for a while, (you're going to think im insane) I cleaned my entire bathroom with a toothbrush. Now the bathroom looks great, but I still can't create.

What do you do to inspire yourself? What helps you create?

animal danimals

i shipped things yesterday and I made cute little notes to go with them and wrapped them cute.
ive also been constantly adding things to my shop.



















i was feeling down because im lame and have arthritis at 21 so today my boyfriend took me to the biodome!




























it was fun because im obsessed with animals and ended up naming everything and dicating all of their actions.
