And What's Worth Keeping, Sun Still Sinking

I dont know about you guys, but I am having a really great year already.

- I've decided to go back to school in september and I'm actually really looking forward to it.

- Im happy and healthy and so is my family.

- Im in a very comfortable relationship right now even though it's new.

- I am obsessed with knitting right now. I finally learned how to cable-knit! loook!

(it's gonna be a scarf.) (im extremely proud of myself)

I also kind of re-opened up my little art store where i sell my photographic prints and silkscreen prints and stuff. 

anyways, what are your favourite things that have happened this year so far?

p.s.  58 days until spring!

new beginnings

I hope everyone had an amazing holiday and a happy new years!

I haven't posted in a while because ive been super busy with family problems and family fun and moving. Yep. Moving. I'm back in Ontario folks. I have to admit, I will miss Montreal. It's a beautiful city. I just feel more at home here.

Ive been doing a LOT of knitting over this winter break.  A LOT. As my camera (my baby) is still in repairs, i've kind of held off taking pictures of the stuff i've been making as the camera I have to use is crap. That being said, I did take a few pictures so I could add some new items to ye olde shoppe. 

Here's some pictures:

I've also re-opened my photography print store. 

This one is my favourite: 

Anyways, that's about all that's new with me right now. Im just looking for a job so I can save up rent money to move in with my best friend!

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.
